Brunch #2

Sunday Brunch at Leslie Jones on Queen Street East with my buddies Matt Timo and Iris! Not as planned, Matt and Timo stumpled upon this great place after trying to find Toast On Queen at the wrong address, which I gave them. For a VERY light brunch, on the menu were quiche + fruits/or/greens, open-sandwiches on pitas and pasta. The place reminded me so much of the apartment I rented with Gb and Hermie in Brooklyn. (Long narrow space, large windows on each end, brick walls)

To help digest the light brunch we took a long walk to The Beaches area. We came across a nice Husky in a front porch, many junk-collectors shops, Avondale Retirement Homes...etc until we reached the Beaches strip. (Timo...we'll get ice-creams next time we're there, since we regretted not getting it.)

Back to the heart of T. Shopping in Eaton's Centre proved a bit draining so we decided to get BBQ Pork on Rice, but sadly the place we went didn't serve BBQs on Sundays so we ordered fried rice, chiu-chow vermicelli and general tao chicken for our afternoon tea at 4:00pm.

Eating continued for dinner at a Shanghai place in Scarborough where they served yummy Bok Choi and Pork dumplings. Interestingly they also served Korean food. To top it all off, at Alex's his mom offered generous servings of sweet soup with papaya!!!! Thank you!!

Queen Street East is lined with many great-looking restaurants - it is definitely getting on the Toronto map. Next spot: Verveine
Anyone?

Brunch #1

...since I got back from HK. So great to see many classmates at one seating. We basically had the entire restaurant (Gypsy Co-op) all to ourselves - that's 17 of us in total!
