Dining Out: Jjamppong and Jajangmyeon at Jeon Ju Hyang

Went to watch the BTS World Tour: ARIRANG Live Viewing in Goyang this afternoon at the movie theatre with Iris (frankly, the only time I step foot into movie theatres is for BTS — I haven't heard of 90% of the movies playing right now), and was spectacularly impressed with quite literally everything: the 360° stage; their outfits (I know they always look amazing, but they do half of the concert in the same leather-clad gothic anime pirate villain outfits as in the "Hooligan" MV, and it is OUTRAGEOUSLY SEXY); the perfect live vocals and harmonies; the charisma, stage presence, and general swagginess. 

The setlist does seem shorter this tour, but they performed nearly every single song from ARIRANG (with the exception of "One More Night," for some reason, and "No. 29," obviously — but they even debuted their vinyl-exclusive track, "Come Over," which I'm hoping will be released on streaming platforms soon because it is too gorgeous to require a record player to listen to), which they haven't done with any of their previous albums — they usually integrate a lot more of their discography into any given tour setlist. I was a little bummed that they didn't include more older songs — they did perform "Fake Love," "Not Today," "MIC Drop," "IDOL," "Butter", and "Dynamite" (basically, the stadium bangers) — but they have introduced a new segment we've never seen before called BTS Karaoke, during which two songs from their discography are randomly chosen for them to perform, and it is wildly amusing to see them try to remember their old lyrics and/or choreography. Looks like they'll be doing two different tracks every night on this tour (today's concert included "Take Two" and "DNA," though Thursday's concert had "Mikrokosmos" and "I Need U," so it does seem truly random). I'm not sure if the core setlist will change over the course of this tour, but I can't wait to see what songs they'll pick for the Toronto dates.  

Jjamppong
Jajangmyeon

Now, normally, we would go get Korean fried chicken after a BTS live viewing and/or documentary, but in an effort to be marginally healthier (like, really marginally), we decided to get some Korean Chinese food at Jeon Ju Hyang instead. They don't offer tangsuyuk, but we did get jjamppong (my personal fave) and jajangmyeon to share. And I gotta say, after many tries, I still can't get into jajangmyeon. I know it's beloved by Koreans, but it's just too... one-note? I mean, I've never been a huge fan of lo mein or "stirred" noodles to begin with, but I think jajangmyeon is just a bit too slimy? Anyway, it worked out in the end — Iris can't eat that much spice (we actually ordered mild, but even black pepper gets too spicy for her), so she wanted more of the jajangmyeon, anyway. Jjamppong will always be the winner for me.

Dining Out: Corny Croquette, Creamy Kurobuta Miso Udon, Premium Steak Donburi, Katsu Sando, and Caramel Biscoff Soufflé Pancakes at Cafe Kenkaku

Another reunion dinner! Well, I use the term "reunion" lightly here because it's really only been, like, a month and a half, but my friends Minji and Daniel have finally returned from their Seoul trip and this is the longest we've gone without seeing each other in two years. So in honour of this, we decided to check out a Japanese eatery that everyone's been talking about on TikTok (according to Minji, because I refuse to use TikTok) called Cafe Kenkaku:

Corny Croquette: A handmade golden croquette filled with a creamy blend of sweet corn and imitation crab meat, lightly breaded and fried
We decided to share everything so we could try more menu items — the key to dining out at a new restaurant — and all of our dishes were incredible. Started off with the corny croquette. I was definitely expecting more corn (because it's a CORNY croquette, not a cream sauce croquette, thus corn is expected to be the main feature), though the texture and flavour were perfect — honestly just like the croquettes I've had in Japan. Could easily eat, like, three of these just for a snack. 

Creamy Kurobuta Miso Udon: Udon noodles in a rich miso butter sauce with Berkshire pork, mushrooms, and an onsen egg, topped with basil, green onions, and grated parmesan

Premium Steak Donburi: A rice bowl topped with 6oz. of AAA steak cooked sous vide, drizzled with house-made teriyaki sauce, topped with crispy garlic slices and a raw egg

The udon was creamy and savoury and intensely flavourful, though I do think it could've had more pork rather than mushrooms. (I mean, I know we're in a tough economy here, but I think each of us had like, three tiny pieces of pork each?) The steak donburi was actually perfectly cooked to a seared rare and was super soft and tender — I didn't read the description because it was Minji's choice, but it makes sense now that it was cooked sous vide. I don't think it would've come out nearly as perfect when sliced that thinly. 

Katsu Sando: Premium milk bread toast with deep-fried pork cutlet, tomato cabbage slaw, lettuce, and tonkatsu sauce, served with spring mix salad and French fries

I think the standout for me was surprisingly the katsu sando, maybe because I didn't have particularly high expectations for it. The pork with juicy with an excellent crispy shell and the milk bread was amazing — the bread was soft and fluffy but the exterior was just perfectly toasted and if I was the type of person to bring a mic with me in public, I could've done some impressive toast eating ASMR. 

Caramel Biscoff Soufflé Pancakes: Airy soufflé pancakes topped with smooth soufflé cream cheese, house made caramel sauce, and Biscoff biscuit crumble

The soufflé pancakes were delicious and had that textbook airy, jiggly texture that we know and love, but we agreed that the Caramel Biscoff version (which is new) was a little too sweet — great for sharing as dessert, but definitely too much for one person at breakfast. (Unless you are the type of person who likes dessert for breakfast. Then never mind.) Worth ordering if you like soufflé pancakes in general, but I think I'd go with the original or maybe matcha next time. Presentation was on point for all the dishes, and our server was fantastic, too. Highly recommend Cafe Kenkaku for all your Japanese cafe cravings, but definitely visit at non-peak meal hours. We got there around 5:30PM and managed to snag a booth table, but the entire restaurant was packed to the brim within 30 minutes.

Dining Out: Famous Nachos and Shredded Beef Enchiladas at 3 Mariachis

I haven't been eating out for the last month or so for both health and financial reasons (I was hospitalized for a few days in March, but that's a story for another time), but when my friend Vivian suggested meeting up with me and our friend Amanda for a reunion dinner after two years (!!!) — the longest we haven't seen each other in 12 years — I couldn't say no. We all agreed on Mexican food so we decided to go to 3 Mariachis:

Famous nachos

Shredded beef enchiladas

We shared the nachos, of course (still my favourite iteration of nachos that I've ever had, even without meat, sour cream, or guac), and all three of us ended up getting the beef enchiladas. They were delicious and flavourful, meat-packed and cheesy AF, but I personally prefer the variety that their tacos offer. The enchiladas come with beans, rice, and a cabbage salad with picked onions on the side, but none of them are seasoned or dressed, so it relies heavily on the enchiladas for flavour. (I was expecting the salad to at least have some sort of dressing or vinegar or something, but it was just... plain cabbage. I guess the pickled onions do add some flavour...) Not sure if I was eating them properly — I had them on their own as sides but really wanted to stuff them into the enchiladas because they tasted so plain. Still, those who love enchiladas won't be disappointed with the ones here — but I would definitely recommend the extra condiments on the side (it must be noted, however, that sour cream, guacamole, and habanera salsa cost extra).

Anyway, hopefully we won't have to wait another two years for another reunion...

Dining Out: Chinese New Year 2026 Dinner at NKS Banquet Hall

A Chinese holiday wouldn't be complete without dinner at NKS Banquet Hall with my mom and her bestie:

Thick-cut char siu (BBQ pork)

Stir-fried sirloin beef with broccoli and candied walnuts

Stir-fried gai lan (Chinese broccoli) with garlic

Steamed tilapia with soy sauce, ginger, and scallions

Crispy skin free-range chicken with shrimp chips

Longevity buns

A complete meal of land, sea, and sky! (Okay, chickens don't really fly but it's still a bird, and IT'S SYMBOLIC, OKAY?) Got all of our favourites — including, yes, the best char siu I've ever had in my life — along with the traditional steamed fish in soy sauce and scallions (for prosperity, of course). Finished off with some piping hot longevity buns that the staff gifted us since my mom was born on Chinese New Year in the lunisolar calendar (yes, she is the only person I know that gets to celebrate two birthdays just because of this). Anyway, if you're wondering how the hell the three of us could eat all of this food — we didn't. There was enough food for two more dinners. And, obviously, since I am way too lazy to cook and they take pity on me, I got to take home of all the glorious leftovers!

Happy Year of the Horse!

Dining Out: Chinese New Year 2026 Dim Sum at Purple Orchid

I took the day off and went for Chinese New Year dim sum with my parents at Purple Orchid:

Egg custard tarts (daan tat)

Steamed pork and shrimp dumplings (siu mai)

Fried glutinous rice dumplings (ham sui gok)

Steamed shrimp dumplings (har gow)

Steamed BBQ pork buns (char siu bao)

Steamed bean curd rolls

Lion dance!

The dim sum was good — classic options, standard portions, no frills but tasty (though the char siu bao were a little too soft; the bottom was almost mushy), and decently priced (about $60 in total after tax and tip for six dishes plus tea service for three people). A solid choice for dim sum in the Richmond Hill area. Bonus: we got there just in time for the lion dance show. A great start to the new year!

Dining Out: Mom's Birthday Dinner 2026 at NKS Banquet Hall

For my mom's birthday, I went to celebrate with her and her bestie at their go-to Chinese restaurant:

Thick-cut char siu (BBQ pork)

Cantonese poached chicken in soy sauce

Stir-fried sliced beef with sponge gourd and cloud ear mushrooms

Cantonese-style omelette with silver fish and green onions

An excellent dinner as per usual, but especially the SUBLIMELY SUCCULENT thick-cut char siu that the chef prepared that afternoon. Apparently, they don't always have char siu available because the chef who prepares it only comes in a couple times a week, so when it is available, it's sells out fast — and for good reason. I say this with no hyperbole: this was the best char siu I have ever had in my life, and I have had A LOT of char siu in my almost 40 years. The flavour is PERFECT — the most ideal combination of sweet and salty with a slightly smoky edge — and meat is super juicy and insanely tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth. They serve you two cuts of meat, one leaner (probably pork shoulder) and one fattier (probably pork belly), but even the lean cut was incredibly soft and juicy. I don't even think NKS is known for char siu, but it is TRANSCENDENT. 

My only complaint from this dinner is that the omelette has cilantro in it (so unnecessary), and was therefore ruined for me. But my mom and her bestie really enjoyed it, which is what counts, I guess. Whatever, this post is really an ode to their char siu, anyway.

Dining Out: End of Year Dinner at The Big Brother 大師兄新派順德菜

To celebrate the end of the year (to clarify, the end of the Year of the Snake) as well as my mom's birthday, my dad made reservations at a Cantonese restaurant called The Big Brother.

Traditional salt-baked crispy skin chicken

Pan-fried green peppers stuffed with house-made fish paste

Stir-fried beef with bitter melon in black bean sauce

Hakka-style tofu stuffed with minced pork and secret seafood sauce

Deep-fried salted egg yolk kabocha squash and fresh oysters

The food is EXCELLENT. The menu is actually relatively small for a Chinese restaurant — it's literally a double-sided laminated sheet about the size of a placemat, and nearly every dish comes with a picture — which usually means every single dish offered should be executed exceptionally well. And it was absolutely true for our experience tonight. Cantonese restaurants are a dime a dozen in the Richmond Hill/Markham area since the majority of the people here are Chinese, but The Big Brother offers notably incredible, authentic Cantonese/Shunde-style dishes — even my parents, immigrants from Hong Kong, commented on how good each dish was with not a single complaint or criticism (you'll know how rare this is if you have Chinese parents). The Shunde-style deep-fried salted egg yolk squash and oysters dish is especially memorable — incredible flavour, perfect crispy exterior, ginormous and meaty oysters — probably because it's not a common offering at Chinese restaurants in general.

My dad told us that his friends had went to eat at The Big Brother around the time of its opening last summer and that while the food was good, the servers were so rude that they would never return. I'm glad to report that they've either gotten new staff or new customer service training because I found the three or four staff that served us were great. They greeted us warmly, they were accommodating, and they were efficient. Also, the space is clean, sleek, and bright, unlike many other Chinese restaurants where you question how they possibly passed their health inspection. It's a little out of my way, but I would absolutely come back here to eat again.

Cooking at Home: Roast Beef Sliders with Horseradish Cream, Spicy Asian Sesame Coleslaw, and Garlic Chipotle Potato Wedges

My friends Chelsea and Braden invited me over to their house for a New Year's dinner of sorts since I couldn't see them during the winter holidays last month. On the menu for tonight:

Roast beef sliders with provolone and horseradish cream

Asian sesame coleslaw with sriracha

Garlic chipotle potato wedges

Dinner is served!

Chelsea had also made an appetizer of Boursin cheese topped with balsamic glaze, honey, and crushed pistachios served with baguette slices. Unfortunately, we were too hungry and dug into it before I could take photos, but trust me when I say it was incredible. (If I didn't think I was getting lactose sensitive these days, I could've eaten the whole thing. You know, if we weren't sharing it.) Of course, dinner itself was excellent. I haven't actually had any meals at Chelsea's that wasn't exceptional, though I think she and Braden tend to make more of an effort for me because they know I don't cook at home. Though she's a hairdresser now, Chelsea actually studied culinary arts after high school and I find that she excels at unexpected flavour and texture combinations to make really well-rounded meals. 

It's funny because she's actually gluten-free and also found out that she's allergic to eggs, chicken, and soy, but I think that's made her even more determined to find good recipes that work for her. I would never have thought to pair roast beef sliders (Chelsea had gluten-free buns for herself, but the rest of us had Hawaiian buns that were doused in au jus before going in the oven — my god, these were so fucking good) with Asian slaw (also so fucking good, to the point where I had three helpings), but I guess that's how fusion restaurants came about. Another epic home-cooked meal for the books!

Dining Out: Matcha Tasting Flight, Mandarin Mini Cake, Citron Mini Cake, Croissant Mini Cake, and Cacao Mini Cake at Evana Pâtisserie & Café

My friend Minji kept seeing TikTok videos on these super adorable, ultra-photogenic desserts at Evana Pâtisserie & Café, so in lieu of a birthday cake for Daniel's birthday, we decided to get a whole load of treats instead:

Matcha Tasting Flight v3.0: Earl Grey, Raspberry, Black Sesame, and Pistachio

If you're a fan of matcha, the Matcha Tasting Flight (Toronto's first and only!) is incredible. They're currently on their third version, which includes Earl Grey, raspberry, black sesame, and pistachio. It is on the pricey side at $25 for four short glasses, but I found the experience unique enough to be worth it. They even provide you with an instruction card on the proper way to try them as well as the recommended tasting order. Honestly, all of them were so good, I couldn't pick a favourite. (Minji's favourite was definitively the Earl Grey, and Daniel's was the black sesame followed closely by the Earl Grey.) I will say that the raspberry is the most unique and surprisingly the one I drank the most of, but I would happily order any of these separately.

Mandarin (left): Orange crémeux, orange gelée, vanilla bean Bavarian mousse, vanilla sponge, milk chocolate crunch, and vanilla shortbread crustCitron (right): Basil vanilla Bavarian mousse with lemon crémeux

We also ordered four mini cakes to share. Minji and I both agreed that the Mandarin one was our favourite, for both flavour and texture combinations (it is extremely similar to the Orange de Terre Mini at Patisserie Fleur). It starts with a Creamsicle-flavoured cream but ends with an incredible shortbread crust. On the flip side, the Citron was my least favourite, even though it was my pick because I love lemon desserts. However, the shape and name of this cake is a little misleading because it really just tasted like plain, slightly sweetened cream. (And for that reason, it was the only one they let baby Lillian try.) There is a barely-there hint of lemon on the outer shell, but that's it. Despite being really cute, it was just a little too boring.

Croissant (left): Coffee chocolate mousse, hazelnut almond praline, and almond spongeCacao (right): Chocolate mousse, chocolate cake whipped chocolate ganache, and chocolate crispy pearls

My second favourite was the Croissant (not to be confused with their croissants), which has a very similar flavour profile to tiramisu with a delightfully nutty undercurrent. It is intensely sweet, though, so I imagine it would start to get too cloying after a few more bites. Definitely one to share, unless you have an extreme sweet tooth. Finally, the Cacao — Daniel's pick because he's a chocoholic. It's the combination of textures in this dessert that keeps it unique, with the stretchy jelly-like exterior, smooth fluffy mousse interior, and crispy pearl topping — but as expected with most chocolate-only desserts, the flavour is quite one-note (though surprisingly less sweet than the Croissant). Daniel really enjoyed it, though.

Overall, an excellent experience. And judging from the constantly revolving door of customers in the middle of subzero winter, the hype is real here. I will absolutely be coming back — their croissants (not to be confused with the Croissant mini cake) look too glorious not to try. And maybe they'll be on the fourth version of their Matcha Tasting Flight by then!

Dining Out: Duck Meat Udon with Onsen Egg and Assorted Tempura at Hinode Udon and Tempura

After seeing multiple reels about it on IG, I finally went to try out Hinode for lunch this afternoon with Minji and Daniel:

Duck meat udon with onsen egg

I got the duck meat udon, one of their bestsellers, and added an onsen egg for $2.50 plus a side of shrimp tempura for $6.99. The udon comes with a thermal pitcher of broth on the side so you can control how much soup you want with your noodles. The udon, which is made in-house, is the star here — it's slightly thicker than other udon noodles I've had and has a silky, bouncy texture with an excellent chew. The duck meat is tender, smoky, and savoury and works well with the broth, which has a very light, mild flavour. I plopped the onsen egg right into the bowl and mixed it into the noodles and broth, which added a really nice rich, creamy texture. It is the first time in my life that I finished all the broth in my noodle soup.

Assorted tempura

The tempura is lovely — airy, golden, and perfectly crispy. I added a side of three shrimp tempura to my udon for $6.99, but we did also get the assorted tempura appetizer for $11.99. While the quality of the tempura is significantly better than Japanese AYCE places (which tend to be too oily, soggy, or over-battered), my palate couldn't really discern it from many other Japanese restaurants. $11.99 is pretty steep for two shrimp and three vegetable tempura (today's variety was yam, eggplant, and enoki mushrooms), but I do think it was worth it to add three shrimp tempura to my udon for $6.99. (Hinode does somewhat remind me of Hanamaru Udon in Japan but, you know, not a chain. And way more expensive.)

With add-ons, eating here can get pretty pricey, but the food is delicious and comforting (especially nice after the BTS ticketing mayhem yesterday!). It's not a huge space, so I imagine it'd be quite busy during dinner service and on weekends, but on this Friday afternoon around 1:00PM, we got a table right away (though turnaround is relatively quick, with a stay time of around 30 minutes per table — and there's a section near the back specifically for solo diners). I don't find Hinode unique enough to go out of my way to come here, but would definitely eat here again if I'm in the area. In any case, it's a great option to have with this city's over-saturated ramen market.

Dining Out: Christmas Day 2025 Dinner at Xiang Zi Hot Pot

My mom and I decided to go for Christmas dinner at Xiang Zi Hot Pot after last year's rousing success. We invited her bestie and got a 5:30PM reservation. It seems like they decided to do two seating times this Christmas instead of having reservations at any time like they usually do, because when we got there, it was a full house.

Tofu puffs, fish balls, quail eggs, beef tendon balls, luncheon meat, lotus root, daikon, and winter melon
Chrysanthemum greens and tender beef slices
Bean curd rolls, lettuce, napa cabbage, king oyster mushrooms, and spring rolls
White fish, squid, beef tripe, and tender beef slices
Premium abalone
Fresh-cut beef slices
Mushroom and pork bone soup

So, last year, we were blown away by the assortment and set up they had at Christmas. They had a huge buffet-style spread of various prepared dishes and snacks as well as extra raw items to pick up ON TOP of their full tablet menu. But they decided to do things a little different this year. They cut down about half the menu and put almost everything out buffet-style. A bunch of our favourite things — various slices of meat, prepared cold dishes like lettuce stem salad or spicy cucumber salad — weren't available. A lot of the ready-to-eat foods weren't being refilled fast enough. There were only about 10 items we could order from the tablet to the table. Disappointing, since the sheer variety of food is what we love about coming here over other hot pot places.

An issue this evening, though, is that we were seated upstairs. I don't really mind myself (hey, extra steps means I can eat more, right?), but my mom and her best friend are in their 70s and have bad knees and arthritis. And the buffet? Where all the food is? It's downstairs. There's no elevator. So I ended up walking up and down the stairs about 8 times to get enough food for everyone. And that's fine because that's as much exercise as I'm getting this holiday week. No biggie. The real problem? They FORGOT OUR HOT POTS. You know, the actual pots with the broth that we can cook all of our raw food in? Yeah. All three of us ordered the same type of broth — mushroom and pork bone. Not a particularly complicated order. They usually get our pots to us within minutes. But tonight, it took them 45 MINUTES for them to bring our broth pots to our table. This was after asking three different servers to check on them for us. And, mind you, every table gets a 2-hour seating limit here. The server sheepishly had to assure us that they wouldn't have a time limit for us tonight — frankly, the least they could do. If we weren't hungry when we arrived, we were starving by the time we could actually eat our food. 

So, yeah. Xiang Zi's Christmas dinner service this year was a disappointing, disorganized mess. Judging by how long they took to get our hot pots to us, how many empty chafing dishes there were at the buffet, how long it took them to refill all the different ingredients, and just the lack of variety that they usually have, I'd say they were way too understaffed for the sheer amount of customers there tonight and had to cut way back on food costs. I've never had a less-than-excellent time at Xiang Zi, so this dinner was particularly disappointing. (I also just discovered that they don't even have an official website anymore. Are they going out of business?)

On that note, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a better dinner experience than we did!

Dining Out: Christmas Eve 2025 Dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House

We originally wanted to have our annual family Christmas Eve dinner at The Keg, but obviously, they were fully booked unless we wanted to eat at 4:00PM or 9:00PM. (We didn't.) We were scrambling to find somewhere decent to eat for the holiday that had a reservation time from 5:00PM to 7:00PM, and then my brilliant mind thought of Ruth's Chris Steak House — definitely pricier than we were seeking, but then my brother insisted that Christmas dinner was on him because he and his family weren't coming up this year. And lo and behold, they had one 6:45PM reservation slot left. It was meant to be!

Arugula salad with goat cheese, cranberries, and grapes tossed in cranberry pomegranate vinaigrette
6 oz. centre-cut filet with shrimp
Garlic mashed potatoes
Maple-glazed butternut squash with maple candied pecans
Creamed spinach
Roasted Brussels sprouts with applewood-smoked bacon and honey butter
Mini white chocolate cheesecake

All four of us went for the Ruth's Classics prix fixe menu, which includes a starter, an entrée, a personal side, and dessert for $97. I got the cranberry arugula salad (the perfect combination of sweet, bitter, and tangy — I could honestly eat this everyday), the 6-ounce centre-cut filet and shrimp (okay, The Keg does great steak, but Ruth's Chris does IMPECCABLE steak — the beef is so melt-in-your-mouth tender, I almost didn't need a steak knife), and my mom shared the garlic mashed potatoes and the maple-glazed butternut squash. We also got the creamed spinach (the ultimate steakhouse side dish and the unanimous favourite) and roasted Brussels sprouts (sweet, salty, smoky, crunchy — addictively delicious) for the table to share. For dessert, a perfect mini white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry coulis and two pieces of dark chocolate bark — rich, sweet, and decadent, but small enough to keep us from feeling too guilty (and bursting out of our pants because they know how full we'd be by the time dessert rolled around).

This was the best Christmas dinner I've had in years. I think this might be a new Christmas tradition in the making. (At least, I will make it so. My family will have no say in the matter because I make the reservations and therefore hold all the power.)
