“A place where Bay street comes to play” 🙂 Had a Summerlicious dinner there and have mix feelings about this place. Food was good but I wouldn’t say they were so good that I would go back. Atmosphere is not bad either but not a place I would go with friends or coworkers to hang out and have a drink or two on Friday after work. If you love to watch horse races and you are a gambler, I guess Turf Lounge is the place to be in downtown…but certainly not for me.

Castle rocks!
Visited to my high school ‘Trafalgar Castle‘ for 140th alumnae reunion today. #Awesome #TrafalgarCastle #GoodTime

A Weekend trip to Ottawa, the Capital of Canada!
Do you know why Ottawa was chosen as the Capital of Canada?
- It was the only settlement of any significant size located right on the border of Canada East and Canada West.
- Ottawa was (then ~1812) surrounded by a dense forest far from the US border.
- Central location; easy transportation via the Ottawa River to Canada East, and the Rideau Canal to Canada West.
- the small size town made it less likely that politically motivated mobs could go on a rampage and destroy government buildings. ^^;

giordano’s famous stuffed pizza, Chicago
I’ve tried Chicago’s famous Deep Dish Pizza at both Giordano’s and Ginos East of Chicago restaurants and I recommend Giordano’s pizza for its thin crust, perfectly seasoned tomato sauce, loaded meat (ordered MEAT & MORE MEAT pizza) and fresh mozzarella cheese. Surprisingly Super Veggie Pizza was very delicious too. Highly recommend this place if you are visiting Chicago.

Hugo’s Frog Bar & Fish House, Chicago
Had a dinner with friends at Hugo’s Frog Bar & Fish House in Chicago last weekend. This restaurant has decent reviews on Trip Advisor, so I went there with a bit of high expectation that the food will be great. I must say that the restaurant indeed has a fun atmosphere, friendly and knowledgable servers (One thing that happened to us though – one of the server we had broke glass right on our table as they were putting it down – strange how that happened). However, I wouldn’t rate their food 5 stars…maybe 3 at the most. I’ve ordered one of their signature dish ‘Crab stuffed Lobster with Lemon butter’ and Lobster meat was tough as it was overcooked and very hard to take meat out of shell which made everything all messy to eat. Another their signature dish ‘Filet Mignon (USDA Gibsons Prime Angus Beef)’ was also overcooked, not as juicy & tasty as the steak we had the night before at GrandLux Cafe for 1/3 of the price. For dessert though, we ordered a creme brûlée and it was the biggest creme brûlée that I’ve ever seen. 8 of us were able to share generously and it was actually quite delicious – creamy and had the perfect level of sweetness. Will I return to this place if I visit Chicago again in the future? Probably not.
