My attempt at the 30-day Yelp Challenge Oct 2011!

See All Lists
The challenge was exactly the push I needed to start writing reviews more regularly. These reviews are what I got to show for it =) Sadly, I wasn't able to complete the challenge, it was harder than I thought it would be!

My family and I stumbled upon this little restaurant when we went to Mont Tremblant a couple weeks back. We solely based our choice on the fact it had a nice large outdoor seating.

Service was very friendly and quick. We were able to communicate with…More »

I've heard so many good things about this place so when my family and I stopped by Montreal we had to give this place a try! We got there pretty late (around 8:30pm) and there still was a line leading to the front door! It was sort of confusing…More »

I had higher expectations for Ka Chi because I thought it was part of a chain and I've been to the other locations before where the food was pretty decent.

Food here looked good but tasted really bland, even the side dishes =(
I got the pork bone soup…More »

My bf really wanted pulled pork so came to Lou Dawg's to get our fix. We got there and heard it was wings night also so we got 1lb of wings for $5. With our pull pork sandwich we got a side of potato salad (which the waitress forgot about) and a…More »

I came here because I heard there are amazing Foursquare specials so once I got there, I tried to check-in through Foursquare and of course the app craps out on me.. never-the-less we were hungry and craving korean food so we sat down and ate.

Came here on a whim and decided to stay since the lunch specials were decently priced (and there was a 10% off grand opening coupon).

Service-wise the staff still seem pretty new, they forgot to give us tea and I had to gently remind them, and when…More »

My family comes here often because it's cheap and quick. We usually come for lunch and get the specials like the chicken teriyaki for $7 ish.

Food here is just average.. not very authentic Japanese (the owners are Korean I think) but really there…More »

I was so excited to hear there was a froyo place in Richmond hill that I spread the word to all my friends. Location wise they made a really good decision to be right beside a high school, I'm sure they will get a lot of business from them. Inside…More »

I only buy nail polish from the TBBS store at Bay and Dundas St so I was so excited to learn they had a location in Richmond Hill because it is a lot more accessible to me than the Dundas location.

I went in set on trying some of the new Essie Fall…More »

I really like this Sobeys because it's 24 hours and there are always various items that are marked 50% off! It's usually the bakery items such as cookies, cakes and pies. Honestly, you will never have to buy apple pie for full price ever again.

Oh McDs.. I have a love/hate relationship with you. Why do you taste so yummy and yet make me feel so gross? What makes it even worse is that this location has a walk-thru window! (All my childhood dreams of walking through a drive-thru have…More »

If you read my posts, you would know I really like to collect points. Metro helps fuel this addiction by sending me coupons to help me collect air miles (e.g. buy this and you get a certain number of air miles). Metro also offers coupons online…More »

I usually go to the Dundas location so I thought it would be nice to check out this location. It's definitely bigger than the Dundas location and the furniture looked nicer/more modern.

It was pretty busy when we arrived and some tables were not…More »

Pur Denim seems kind of out of place in this strip plaza. It's a "high-end" clothing store that sells brands like Seven for All Mankind, Juicy Couture, Diesel, Miss Sixty, G-Star, Von Dutch and so on..... It's been here for YEARSS! I remember buying…More »

My mom really likes Boston pizza because a) she loves eating ribs and b) you can earn air miles with your meal. So whenever it's her turn to pick a restaurant, it's a guarantee that we'll be at BP, like it or not.
