Wooffles & Cream is located in Kennedy Square at Markham. I went to this place twice before I finally got what I wanted. The first time I was with friends. We came at around 10:30pm, they ran out of the wooffless and only had the soft serve ice cream. So I didn't bother buying anything. The second time I was with my brother and Tin. It too was a fail. We went there on a Monday only to find out that the store is not open on Mondays. The third time I was again with friends. We had just finished our dinner not too far from the place so we decided to go for desserts. This time we came earlier and finally had their wooffles. We had to wait 20 minutes for our order. The line was not long when we got there. However, a couple minutes after we ordered a flood of people came lining up. It was still busy even after we finished eating our desserts. There were only two staff working. One person took the orders while the other person had to make the wooffles and the other orders.

Left - Shinozuki parfait Right - Matcha soft serve ice cream cone $4.50

The shinozuki parfait was decent according to my friend. Apparently the matcha place in downtown has a better matcha taste than the one they serve at this store. Tin and I have yet to go to the matcha place downtown. When we do there will definitely be a post about it. So stay tuned!

Cookies and cream wooffles with matcha soft serve ice cream $8

Unagi-Don - cream teriyaki and shimeji mushrooms with Japanese barbecued eel. Garnished with nori and shiso -$17

This pasta dish was very creamy. My friend called it a "very heavy meal" due to its creamy texture. It's what made it my favorite dish. If you like something creamy I would recommend this. I've tasted four pasta dishes, as we all shared a portion of our dishes to each of us in addition to our own dish. We asked for small plates so that we could easily distribute the Japanese poutine and share it. After we finished the Japanese poutine we used the same plate, filled it with a portion of our own dish as we passed the small plates around in a circle. That way when each of our small plates reach us we have three other pasta dishes to eat. It was a good way to taste the other dishes without having to go buy them. So far out of the  four pasta dishes I've tried I liked the Unagi-Don, despite the fact that I do not like eating eel. For the record, I never tried the eel so I cannot say how it tasted. Moreover, my friend had no complaints in regards to that particular dish, so it's safe to say that it is quite good. I probably would buy this next time I come back to this restaurant.

Shrimp Okonomiyaki - Spaghetti sauteed with bacon, onions and garlic, dressed with shrimp, homemade steak sauce, Japanese mayo and bonito fish flakes - $14

This dish is one of my least favourite. It's not so bad but compared to the other 3 pasta dishes it's quite on the dry side. I like my pasta to be creamy. Other than that I think it's still quite delicious.

Napolitan - Japanese tomato sauce with sausage, bacon, onions, nori and shiso -$10

This pasta dish tasted like the Filipino spaghetti. It is sweet rather than sour, and the tomato sauce was also palatable.

Shiso Clam Vongole - White wine, olive oil, garlic, bacon, fresh Manila clams and shiso -$15

I ordered this dish. The shiso taste on this dish was very strong. This dish was very dry for me. It did have a lot of clams in it. So if you like clams, I recommend this dish. I chose this dish simply for the clams. However, it was my least favourite.

Japanese Poutine Fries - poutine garnished with nori and shiso.

This was my first time having Japanese poutine fries. Apparently, there are other places where you can get one. As per my friend, this was more creamy and very similar to a regular poutine but has an additional touch of shiso and nori. To me it was not salty and very creamy. It was very delicious. I would recommend for poutine lovers to try it out.

Overall I would go back to this place for many reasons. Firstly, it's located at J-town. Secondly, you can go dine at this cafe after shopping around the area in J-town, which is a fairly small plaza. Finally, the food was delicious.

This post is long overdue, but I would like to share with you my experience.

During the summer last year, Toronto was hosting the PanAm/ParapanAm 2015 games. The events were held all over Toronto and its surrounding areas. My friends and I decided to attend at least one event and show our support to our athletes. Also, it was one of the big events happening within Toronto and it doesn't happen often. I wanted to go to as many sports events as possible with a couple of friends, however I was only available to come to this one; when I'm available they're not available. The aquatics event was held at PanAm Aquatics Centre in Scarborough. During the Aquatics event, it showed men's and women's swimming events from breaststroke, freestyle, to relay events. It costed $45/person and lasted for 2 hours. It was a well worth experience to see it in person than on television. I never had the time to watch the events on television so I was only updated of the event by word of mouth. The women's team did amazing compared to the men's team during this particular event. The excitement was surreal. The crowds were cheering on for Canada, and when our athletes got first place in each event the crowd soared from happiness.

The PanAm Aquatics Centre

It's summerlicious time in Toronto. It is a summer event featuring a variety of restaurants of different culture, located all over Toronto, offering a three-course lunch and dinner menu at a discounted/exceptional price points. This year's event started on July 3rd and will end on July 26th.

A few days ago, we had a craving for Korean food. There are a lot of Korean restaurants within the GTA but we decided to go to somewhere that requires less traveling. One of the restaurants we usually go to is Gabin, located at Steeles Ave and Silver Star Blvd (within the boundaries of Scarborough and Markham). It's a small restaurant with a nice atmosphere. It offers wide choices of food including hotpot, stone pot foods, appetizers, lunch combos, bento, and mini Korean grill (it's nothing like the round Korean grills you normally see in a Korean grill house). The food is quite decent. I notice that when you go during busy hours such as lunch time, the meal portions are less than when non peak hours. The price is decent as well. Below are some of the foods that they offer. I usually get their bibimbap but after trying out Tsuki Izakaya's kalbi bibimbap, I didn't want to eat other bibimbap out there; well, at least for the time being I didn't. In addition, I decided to opt for something a little different.
