Epic Suburb Crawl of October 2009

Like the Fresh Air Fund for downtown Yelpers; this crawl exposed me to suburban life--Asian-style--beyond the (416)

1. Neil T's parents' house

123 Tree-lined Street
Markham, ON
Canada

Category: Local Flavour

11/5/2009 First to Review

This was an impromptu stop on the Epic Suburb Crawl*. I'm not from around these parts so I don't know if this house is in Markham or Scarborough or Sault Ste Marie. All I know is that Neil's parents live in the 'burbs.

It's a nice house with one of…More »

Vietnam Noodle Star, WTF?

Why do you have to be so good and make all the other pho joints in Toronto seem like donkey dick*?

As if you need to have your massive ego inflated even more, lemme tell you why your pho is getting five stars:

3. J-Town

3160 Steeles Ave E
Markham, ON L3R 4G9
Canada

This J-Town is so small, it should be called J-Village or J-Burg--maybe even J-Hamlet--but certainly not J-Town.

Where are the usual J-Town fixtures like the Japanese dollar store, roasted chestnut vendor, and teahouse evoking Memoirs of a Geisha?

7077 Kennedy Rd
Markham, ON L3R 0N8
Canada

Category: Chinese

11/1/2009

The place is called "Rolling Pot Shabu Shabu" but it's not a place for marijuana cigarettes or shabu shabu in the traditional Japanese sense. Rolling Pot serves up all-you-can-eat Chinese hot pot for $18 per person[1]. Each diner gets an individual…More »

Update - 2/7/2010

I was walking in Leslieville with sarah l., having just uttered the words, "I'm so glad I got to revisit Pacific Mall when it wasn't crowded," when a woman smoking a cigarette outside Comrade's busted out with, "When is Pacific Mall NOT crowded?"

If Pacific Mall is a slutty teenage Attention Whore[1], then First Markham Place would be its sensible and more demure sister[2]; it's definitely less trashy, more classy. We stopped here while on the Epic Suburb Crawl because we had some time to…More »
