Being a craft enthusiast, I really try to visit the local craft stores whenever I'm on travel.  Of course when I'm in Canada, I try to find the local stores.  Bonnidee is located in a charming little neighborhood that borders a lake (DH & the Kid…More »

Tim's Dessert House is located on the top floor of this HK style mall in Richmond, BC.  Their specialty is the buttered egg roll cookies (the ones you get in a tin in Chinatown, not the egg roll from the dim sum stores).  I first became acquainted…More »

Roots is akin to Gap.  They sell basic clothes (sweatshirts, tops, pants etc.).  Olympic followers will remember that the Canadian team in the Winter Games all wore gear with the word Roots on it.  Since I was in Canada, of course, I'd have to get…More »

They were located really close to our hotel.  We weren't planning to come here on our vacation but we needed baby items (a small bath tub comes to mind) so TRU we're here.  

Prices are about the same as the other TRU in the States.  Service and…More »

We stayed slept during our stay in Montreal.  The hotel was ok but on the small side.  I do have to say that it came with a bathroom, kitchen (microwave, sink, fridge) and a vanity room.  Rooms were clean.  We actually used the vanity as a kiddie…More »

My ILs took us here for dim sum.  Living in the City, you're spoiled with eating good chinese food and dim sum.  Kam Fung is ok.  They offer cart service but it's a real sloow cart service.  We were literally doing "yum cha" between cart service…More »

DH took me to Arahova's when we were in town.  He really likes the souvlakis here.  I have to say that it's better than what the City has to offer.  The chicken souvlaki was well seasoned without being overly dry (for some reason, places in the City…More »
