Toronto

I went up to Toronto last week randomly. Originally, I was going to go with a friend but she ended up having an interview so I decided to go by myself anyway. It was a nice little getaway from Waterloo :)

I met up with my friend and we had lunch in a nice little neighbourhood. It was really hot that day but we decided to sit out on the patio anyway. We went to a place called John's Italian Cafe. The service was terrible (I think the waitress was having a really bad day...maybe cuz it was hot). The food was good though.

I order the smoked salmon sandwich. It was really yummy. It had goat cheese, pesto and tomato. I never used to like smoked salmon but now I do :) We ended off with gelato at a place a couple shops down. I had tiramisu and hazelnut.

Afterwards we walked along Queen st. I loved all the little shops and wall art. You can find cute little things that you never see anywhere else. I didn't buy anything though. Everything is too expensive.

This is my attempt at being artistic. I think her dress compliments the wall quite nicely :)

We found a macaron place as we were walking. I wanted to try the neon pink one on the end. It was cotton candy but my friend said it'd probably just taste like sugar so I tried salted caramel instead. I didn't like how the filling inside was cold. I like the colours though :)

I went to Salad King for dinner that night. This place never seizes to satisfy :)

Seafood Fried Rice. This is what my friend ordered. It was so good. I am going to order this next time.

I ordered the Mango Chicken. It was still really good but I ordered it too spicy. Next time I know I can only order 1 chili. The 3 chilis made it too hot. I drank a lot of water and didn't have much of the sauce. I normally love lots of sauce on my food but I had to choose between burning tongue and burning lips or not so my choice was easy :)

I'm glad Toronto isn't too far. It's always nice making mini day trips, and I don't mind just hanging out by myself too. I didn't get a chance to hit up a cafe this time but I found one I want to visit next time!
