    The zip line didn't look too spectacular. When I was there for that pic we were at a skating competition. Competed in the am, went to the boat will cmfull stage make up then I had to run back to skate again

    It's a lot of fun Toronto. If you want real Chinese food there's lots of that here. Lots to do in general really

    Ya it all depends what you want. For the real Chinese food you go to Markham or Richmond hill. If you want awesome Italian it's Woodbridge. Dinner with a view there's a couple of places. A good dinner and the best view go to the cn tower. If you visit a local as my one friend here did you get the tour, you can visit someone's office in a downtown tour for the view from above then go to a fun local place for dinner

    The one thing I've noticed is that Canadians are so nice & friendly. Even when I was fishing tournaments at 1000 Islands...everyone I met was like that

    I mean i stayed at the heart of chinatown and tried a bunch of spots. Wasnt bad of course but i find the food by me here much better

    Also tried another spot that was a bit further out ( cant recall the exact name ). Was supposed to b popular and have a few locations. Didnt live up to the hype ( my cousin told me it was really good )

    You need to go to the "real" places. When I was married for the first time we'd go to places that had chefs from Hong kong. There's a hotel downtown that had the best food. We went with a client of my ex husband who ordered all authentic stuff. As with most places you need to know where to go and it's all very subjective.

    Chinatown is *kitten*. It's a tourist trap. I find in Toronto if you're willing to pay you can find good food

    And anywhere with a few location's is always commercial and garbage. Sorry

    Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake
    We’ve only made the top & bottom layers, which are like fluffy brownies. In-between will go fresh whole strawberries and chocolate-strawberry mousse. Then the whole thing will be topped with ganache & more strawberries.
