The One That Got Away

This place -- i have no words to describe it.. where do i begin?

I got here at 9:40 - they close at 10pm and we were starving and needed late night eats! So how can we turn down fish tacos, fish and chips, and other fish related foods?! HUGE fan of fish tacos here!

We go in, and there were 6 of us... but 4/6 ordered fish tacos (which are only available after 2pm) and 1 ordered the Arctic Char and chips.. (1/6 ordered just fries).

The fish tacos came with 3 of them (no sides) and it game with a small ramekin of what LOOKED like guacamole -- but definitely wasn't. I believe it was a jalepeno hot sauce.. SPICY! these tacos were amazing! there were gigantic pieces of fried fish and it definitely got messy with all the sauce..

I didn't get a chance to try the arctic char but it sure did look moist! and as for the fries?! its a ketchup and vinegar heaven!!!

i am actually torn that i don't work closer and i want to literally try everything on their menu.. you can get these fish as sandwiches or wraps or just the usual fish and chip combo... ugh! amazing!!!

the service was excellent.. the guys that work there are casual and cool and are indeed friendly.. i accidentally dumped out my metal fork into the garbage when i was cleaning up and was teased at by them!.. but it's all good :) super nice guys.. theres no doubt that people will go back!

Thompson Hotel Rooftop Party for EnRoute Air Canada!

So my friends and I attended a rooftop party at the Thompson Hotel in Toronto for an Air Canada party.. you know what that means!! free booze and free food! :) always a good time...

Mingled with others... and of course hoped to win the amazing prizes! (first place prize was two flights to anywhere that Air Canada flies.. oh god!)

Tuan -- always on his phone of course! Cannot stay away from technology these days...


This is a breathtaking view of the city... no wonder it's so god damn expensive to stay at this hotel!


Here's the partay -- it was a rooftop but there were giant sliding doors that opened up so that you could go indoors to the bar.. (did i mention free booze?)



Lesson of the day: have friends that work in media :)

he cooks?! he cooks!!

so jeff's parents and my parents were out of town (at the same time!) so we knew we had to take advantage of this.............................. you're dirty i know what you're thinking!! BAD!

what i meant was.. HE NEEDED TO COOK FOR ME! :) since he's never done so before.. .i did help him out a little bit :) like chopping and stirring.....and maybe add a few spices... but he did do most of it..and hell.. i'll make this one count! so we made baked pasta :) YUM!.. of course we loaded it with cheese..but underneath that is some green peppers and mushrooms with ground turkey!





and we couldn't NOT bake it :) unfortunately, i only had this once.. and another time a few days later.. i couldn't even take it home to eat all day the next day because i had my wisdom teeth taken out the following morning... but it sure didn't stop me from nibbling.. haha yes i'm horrible..

i LOVED the music in the movie Drive. So retro and cool! :) too bad there aren't that many songs on the OST itself..will have to look for this guy's album!
