Catch up post with various food photos ;D

At La Vecchia


Atmosphere was nice for dining (chandeliers!), complete hell for trying to photograph what you're eating though.(Tried to fix the abysmal iPhone flash in PS e_e)



Calamari Sofia
The appetizer was really good, texture of the calamari was right, taste of the sauce was right (soaked it all up with bread), and came in a very generous portion.

Had ricotta and spinach gnocchi with a creamy tomato sauce for main dish, it was alright.


Tiramisuuuu *u* The spongecake was actually soaked in espresso, unlike the asian variety. Kinda weird to eat with fruits though.

Interlude of a telescope from a class trip to the York University Observatory. It was pretty cool, in the figurative sense, and very very cool in terms of the temperature inside the dome.

Back to food,

Went with Ryan to a HK cafe and stubbornly ordered dessert despite being very full off the main course.



Bread cube lolol. It was pretty good, though it alone would have sufficed for the entire meal.


And finally went to SweetLulu today. It was the restaurant that a convenience store owner recommended during City Mosaic.The food was tasty, waitress was really nice and attentive, and most importantly you get a laaaarge portion. Unfortunately there's no photos since Grace is camera shy and the one of me turned out blurry.

Queen West is a cool district haha, so many unique shops there! The original purpose of Grace and my visit is to visit The Paper Place (we're such stationary geeks xD). That store did not disappoint, they carry an insane amount of gorgeous paper *u* Ended up purchasing a sheet to turn into a book cover, and a pack of thank-you cards.
@janice: there was only one store with prom-y dresses and I was scared to go in as the dress in the window displayed cost $900 <_<" All the other clothing boutiques were intimidating too.

Wandered around some more and sat in a tea shop for the remainder of the afternoon. And now the ridiculously long act II scene ii of Hamlet e_e
