Located at the South Side of King Street West – we never fail to visit Rodney’s when we are in Toronto.   A dozen of oysters with a dash of Tabasco sauce and a squeeze of lemon – that is the start of our evening before we headed towards Massey Hall.  And all throughout the show – I was thinking of the 12 succulent oysters that I had greedily slurped.  I wanted to go back for more – but my tummy just didn’t think I could stomach it.  Another time – another day – Rodney!

While I loved the raw oysters from Canada – I also loved Oysters omelet from home and really – nothing beats having some in the evening for dinner.   So since I can’t find any here – I decided to get some fresh oysters from the Farmer’s Market and fry some on my own – I mean  – it’s just omelet with oysters right?   But not really – I soon realized because you need some kind of flour to go with the omelet and then you also need the right kind of chilli sauce.  When we were on a trip to Toronto last week – the spouse brought me to Markham to try some and they were awesome.   And since I don’t get it often – I had been eating this for a week – so now I am seriously bloated and had put on weight – so I’m looking  apidexin for weight loss that a friend had recommended.

Normally, this is the way I loved to eat oysters – and I can eat at least 10 of them in a buffet.

I didn’t want just fast food mexican like burritos nor do I want the Tex-Mex food either – like Modesto when we were in Toronto – so the spouse went looking for a good cafe for me.  I loved my spicy chicken baked – in a small family restaurant in Yonge Street, unfortunately, for me – I was the only one craving for Mexican – so the rest of the gang had margaritas only.  Oh well – their lost!

My girlfriends and I combed the mall last weekend and we went for high tea, followed by dinner and a drink before heading home.  It was a fun day for us and I ate so much – you wouldn’t believed it.  But not to worry coz’ my girlfriend told me all about usplabs oxyelite pro if I needed it  – but for now – I don’t need to lose any weight fast – but if I keep at it – then that would be another story altogether.  Holt Renfrew is new in town and I want to be able to fit in their designer clothing  – my girlfriend bought quite a bit during this shopping trip.

This is a local dish found in Penang, Malaysia – the flat noodles are made fresh – unlike the ones here – you find – that are slightly thinner and dried.  If I wanted flat noodles now – I would have to soak them for hours before I can fried them.  But this fried noodles is called kuay teow – I never used to like it – but now that I can’t have it – I craved for it.  The spouse on the other hand travels a lot – so he gets to try different things.   Look at how huge the prawns are – you can asked to add addition prawns like we do – when we go back home for a visit – which is not often – but we love the sambal that comes with it.

I missed my chilli crabs from home – so when seafood paradise open its door in downtown Vancouver – we were invited by a few Malaysian friend to try it out.   The spouse who was very into spicy food – told the waitress he wanted it as spicy as it gets – so here it is !  Spicy chilli crab and by the time we were done, we were all in tears – and sweating big time.  The next time we order chilli crabs – guess who isn’t doing the ordering.  Food needs to be enjoyed and not to torture our tongue.

Funky colored lobster had been appearing on our shores for the last few years.  Everyone was excited when we had our first blue lobster and I had asked some who had cooked and eat them if they tasted any different, apparently not.  Lobster pigmentation was what caused the lobster to turn blue according to some fishermen in town. Whether it is for a fact or not I don’t know for sure.

The Coffee Coach Express aka train station is open for business again.  We used to love going there till one day .. we got bad ice cream, YES !  bad soft serve ice cream at that, from that day on, the spouse didn’t want to eat there anymore.  But everyone deserve a second chance and since summer is round the corner, I might just be able to convince her to try the train snacks again.

Right by the waterfront, where everything is happening during the summer and since the town is expecting the Mega-Yacht to come in, it is actually a goldmine if they know how to manage this snack place.  They have lobsters, calamari, fish and chips, fries and many other snack stuff and all sorts of colorful drinks.

Unfortunately, they are a lot pricier than most places for a snack shack, and only during days where they have events on the waterfront, they get some business, even then I feel they can do a lot better.  The Coffee Coach is now owned by Rudders, they used to be own by someone else outta town who had another restaurant but I guess he didn’t want the hassle no more?  Hard to do business in this town because it is so hard to get good workers.

A man has gotta eat what he likes to eat and yes – cheese whiz is a must for almost anything i eat.   Baked fish sticks and some potatoes that belongs to the kid and lots of Cheese whiz is my affair if the wife insist that I eat some seafood.
