321. My Birthday

Yesterday (March 26 for future reference) was my birthday! I spent Saturday & Sunday with my family then was with some friends on Monday & Tuesday. I had a really great time!
I also got my company registered. I've always wanted my own business and I finally did it yesterday (I purposely wanted to do it on my birthday so the date was more memorable). For the past few months I have been working for a few different companies doing their PR/Marketing on a very part-time basis. Through referrals recently, I got a couple more potential clients so I figured it was time I started my own firm! Pretty excited and nervous at the same time. Enough about work for now...here are the photos from my birthday:

My friend Matt gave me some Ruelo macarons..still not at Laduree standards but probably the best I've had in Toronto so far! I really like their unique flavours (like Green Tea Sesame, Rose Lychee, Yuzu, etc.). & on the right, my peach bellini yesterday at Earls

Origin is my new favourite restaurant! This place is just down the street from me yet I've never been there until last weekend. In fact, I liked it so much that I went again on Monday night. Pretty sure I will go back again soon. I liked their food presentation a lot(that's like the biggest factor in determining my favourite restaurants) Everything is served tapas-style here.

These were my FAVOURITE!!! Bufalo Mozarella with pear, rosemary oil, pinenuts and honey...mmmmm. Just as good as the Burrata cheese we got from Harbour Sixty before (I have spent the past few months trying to find a restaurant appetizer comparable to that and now I have)




The descriptions of each dish are super long so here is their menu if you want to take a look.

When we went again on Monday night, it was late and took dark so none of my photos came out..here you can see their open kitchen which is right in the middle of the restaurant. Can't wait until it gets warmer for their patio!!


Cool photograph/painting they had hanging on the wall


On Sunday, my sister and I went for afternoon tea at the Windsor Arms Hotel ! Their tea is considered the best in Toronto.




Overall, everything was good but it wasn't as amazing as I expected. I thought the finger sandwiches were a bit too small and I wish there were more pastries/cakes. So far, my favourite afternoon tea I've ever had is the Peninsula Hotel's in Hong Kong! Closely followed by the Mad Hatter's Tea at Sanderson in London.





They also had a little gift for me - a couple vouchers to their spa
