Today, we were at Canadian Tire right when it opened to get an oil change for our car and to get a replacement windshield wiper blade. Yay!
Then we drove into Toronto's Chinatown to meet with Jen and Jeff from UBC (they are in Toronto for an NSERC USRA). We had a Dim Sum lunch at Bright Pearl. It was fun and delicious and it felt like home to be in a Chinese restaurant again where the waiters ignore you, and everyone is talking loudly.
Afterwards, they went to a bakery and a grocery store with us in Chinatown. We got some baked goodies and some essentials like fish sauce and wasabi peas!
Later, my cousin Yen picked us up and we went to Chinatown again for dinner at Sang Ho. I remember eating at this place in the past with my family when we visited Toronto. It was also really good. Afterwards, we walked around Chinatown some more then went to Panorama, a bar on the 51st floor of a building downtown for drinks and a great view of the city.

Tasty, creamy, caramel-y, and with Skor pieces

On our way out, we passed the Skydome (now Rogers Centre) and the CN Tower
Wow! Toronto is huge! Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteWho's Jeff? I feel like I should know him.
Jeff = Jeffrey Nguyen, he's in biophys, going to Princeton.
ReplyDeleteThe view of downtown from Panorama is only half of the city too!
