Finally got a chance to meet up with a good friend of mine back from HK for some nice Thai food.  From what I was told, there's not a great selection in HK, so I had to bring her to a good place in Toronto.

With a restaurant name like, Made in China what can one expect from such a place? My guess would be cheap prices, Canadian Chinese food and a place whose decor will be a mixture of loud and contemporary. If you guessed all this as well, then you will…More »

Ayce ayce, ayce ayce. This is a common chant amongst my friends whenever we're deciding where to go to eat. And when it's a large crowd, ayce normally wins. In case you're not sure what ayce stands for, it's all you can eat. For many of my friends,…More »
