In Poland, Fat Thursday is called tłusty czwartek. People purchase their favorite pastries from their local bakeries. Traditional foods include pączki (doughnuts), which are large deep-fried pieces of especially rich dough, traditionally filled with plum or rose petal jam (though others are commonly used) and topped with powdered sugar, icing, or glaze.] Angel wings (faworki) are also commonly consumed on this day.

Chocolates & pralines, I better be carefull with those. When I get them at home, I'll finish the box in no time.
I had a craving for Vietnamese Pho so I called up a friend and we headed over to Good Pho You in Ajax. I've wanted to try this place for quite a while.
We ordered their House Special Pho, their Rare Beef and Flank Pho, and their Fried Spring Rolls.
The spring rolls had good flavour, although they were a bit smaller than what I'm used to.
We had both ordered the medium-sized pho and it was good sized portions, with lots of meat and noodles. I would have preferred a bit more flavour in the broth but it was good. The meat was all perfectly tender and the noodles were also perfectly cooked.
Our server, Ingrid, was the perfect host! She checked on us several times and was quite friendly and engaging. Great service!
We'll be back...

This is another one of those T-Bone Steaks that I got on sale recently. It turned out really good on my indoor grill! Although I would have preferred a thicker cut, I really can't argue with the price at only CDN$5.49/lb!
I'll be keeping my eye out for another great sale!

I love soups! One of my favourites is Korean Pork Bone Soup. Owl of Minerva, close to home makes a great one that's rich in flavour, with a generous amount of meat and great tasting sides, including kimchi, bean sprouts, and more. Satisfyingly delicious!

Dinner (and lunch tomorrow...). Smoked salmon devilled eggs, tomato/bsil/mozzarella/cucumber slices, baked brie with black garlic, wings, crab stuffed mushrooms, pizza jalapenos and mushroom turnovers... I do love food...

I do not normally eat cooked breakfasts but needed to visit my GP in town yesterday for some tests following surgery 5 weeks ago. While in town I decided to treat myself to what is known as an English Breakfast
Sweet and Sour Pork Hocks is an old-school traditional Hakka Chinese dish that you may not find in many restaurants. Besides the pork hocks, key ingredients include ginger, a little bit of vinegar and sugar. I also like to add shiitake mushrooms, giving this dish an even more unique flavour. Would you try it?

My friends from Vancouver were so impressed with Jumbo Lobster the last time they were in town, they made reservations before even arriving in Toronto this time! Of course, I was happy to join them.
We had learned from the previous visit that we ordered too much food and had lots of leftovers after stuffing our faces. We ordered less this time around, with seafood being the main feature.
Our meal started with a yummy soup of the day, made with chicken. Snow Peas Tips with Mushrooms,
Dungeness Crab with Salted Egg Yolk, and a very tender Ribeye Steak on a hot plate appeared next.
Lobster, the main feature, appeared next. Our set meal included two, with one stir-fried and the other deep fried with crispy garlic flakes and fries. That was followed by a Steamed Bass with green onions, and finally, a light jelly type of dessert.
Everything was absolutely delicious and we still had leftovers. The service was excellent, with attentive staff deboning and serving our fish, changing out our dirty plates, and more.
If you like seafood, Asian flavours, and fine dining, you need to experience this place at least once!

What do you do with leftover veggie trays? Make a StirFry, of course!
There were quite a bit of leftover vegetables from a recent gathering at my uncle's, as well as some chicken skewers. Rather than let anything go to waste, I made a quick and tasty dish that was also healthy. Good dinner!

Sweet and Sour Pork
-----------------------------
MY Restaurant, located just off Main St in Markham, is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants, offering great tasting food, great prices, and really good service. It's easy to recognize the value they offer with their combo menu, which includes soup and rice with their full-sized portions.
My uncle and I recently stopped in for lunch. We had their Sweet and Sour Pork, and Chicken with Black Bean Sauce. Both dishes were delicious and we finished it all, including the soup and rice. That's a pretty good deal for only CDN$27.50!
I've included a few pics of their menu. This post is not sponsored in any way by the restaurant. I just enjoy their delicious food!

If you like flavourful Asian food, especially the Indian style Hakka Chinese version, then you have to try The Big Zen in Whitby. I went there recently with a group of foodie friends. We tried several dishes, including their Thai offerings and everything was very tasty. We all enjoyed it!
Our outing started with some refreshing beverages, including a Pina Colada, Mango Lassi, Mango Juice, Thai Iced Tea, and more. All good!
A few of us tried their Hot and Sour, and Tom Yum soups. Both were very good, with one person in our group declaring the Hot and Sour to be the best she's ever had!
The rest of our meal included:
- Steamed Chicken Momos
- Crispy Ginger Beef
- Papaya Salad
- Bombay Chicken
- Zen Special Chicken
- Chicken Fried Rice w/Chicken on Top
- Manchurian Fish
- Thai Green Curry Chicken
- Hot Garlic Shrimp
Rather than writing detailed descriptions of each dish, I'll just say that they were all very flavourful and delicious! I would definitely order any of them the next time.
The restaurant is comfortably spacious, with clean, modern decor. The service that we received was excellent! I definitely recommend dining here!

I love a good steak and this one from Whispering Meadows was really good! I seasoned it with a bit of Montreal Steak Spice and cooked it to a perfect medium-rare on an indoor electric grill. It was tender, juicy, and delicious!
Everything I've had from Whispering Meadows has been excellent quality! Give them a try - www.whisperingmeadows.ca
