Toronto
My brother got married over the weekend!! Flew up to Toronto and stayed in the 'burbs. I'm always suprised at the growing Asian population in Vancouver and Toronto. The Chinatown in Toronto is changing to a Vietnamese population. I wouldn't be suprised if the influence changes completely in the next five years. It reminds me of LA, when the Chinatown moved to Alhambra and became the Chinese community juggernaut. I stayed in Markham and felt like I was in China. Restaurants were really good in service and quality. The only drawback was that we don't know how to speak Chinese and had to point alot. :D
If ever in the area, I had great Peking Duck at the Quinlang Cafe off Highway 7 in the Cineplex Odeon Plaza. I heard that the dim sum kicks ass in this area as well. Went to the local Costco (Ok, it was right next door) and had canadian pizza slice. Canadian bacon is super good. Pricier than at home but worth the price. My brother thought the crust too doughy but I liked it fine. Although he was super happy to see ShakeNBake Costco size. Guys, so simple....
Stayed at the Hilton Suites Toronto in Markham. Was under renovations but huge potential. The rooms are tastefully decorated in modern decor and the location was good for our purposes. The only drawback is the $7 daily parking fee. Boooooo.
