yelling? lol... it's like walking on thin ice at a lake..
a few years ago, I was visiting southern california and went
to a dinner buffet with soem friends at a place I think called
home town buffet.. it's a chain buffet place and they have
all over california..
anyway, there were 2 couples sitting several tables
away from us, and one of the guys was complaining about food
or something and the manager came, the guy yelled at the
manager, and he asked not to yell, but the guy continued
yelling.. so he asked them to leave..lol.

That means those 2 places will be on my hot list lol, and
I'll be paying a visit soon. The other day I came out of
Star Walk buffet and saw a group of ppl going into Wasabi.
Im generally a contrarian, and not easily influenced by
negative reviews.. Generally if there are good reviews, eg.
Swatow, Splendido, etc.. they do turn out to be good/great,
but if a joint got some negative reviews (except for
cleanliness), I'd usually give them the benefit of the doubt..
and almost always go to evaluate it..
I think the strip along Midland from Finch to Steeles is
interesting.. Rona is building a big home hardware center
at the corner of McNicoll.. so definitely that area will
get busier.. I especially like the arae around Silver Star-
Steeles.. with 3 ayce places it's rather unique.. and there's
a tea house at the plaza beside NoFrills.. the other day, we
wanted to go there.. but the place was fully packed like over
70 ppl..
A memorable food from another land...
I had dog meat while visiting Indonesia.
It was delicious, with a unique taste :)

one nearby the Star Walk Chinese buffet, and another one at
a plaza (beside the No Frills) across the street.
A memorable food from another land...

Study: Edible Fish Gone by 2048
A new study claims fish populations are dwindling at an abysmal rate
A study published recently by the National Center of Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), at University California and UC Santa Barbara, indicates an accelerating loss of biodiversity in the world's oceans with largely unknown consequences. Possible outcomes include an inability of the oceans to produce enough seafood to feed a growing human population, a decrease in the pollution-filtering ability of the oceans, which would result in poor water quality, and an increase in exposure to diseases, i.e. from poisonous algae species.
The study, published November 3 in Science, is the result of a comprehensive four-year research investigation. Scientists utilized a variety of research methods and data archives to see how the loss of biodiversity affects marine ecosystems. Analyzed data include four-decades of fishery information from the United Nations, observational studies of protected marine areas and core samples spanning 1000 years. In addition, over thirty controlled experiments were conducted. Scientists found that a decrease in oceanic biodiversity exponentially decreased water quality, rates of resource collapse, and potential for ecological recovery.
Furthermore, the scientists project a collapse, or 90-percent depletion, of all seafood types currently harvested by the year 2050. Fortunately, scientists believe the oceans might still be able to recover. They found that in areas where biodiversity was restored, productivity was increased fourfold. Behaviors associated with a loss of biodiversity include over-fishing, damage to coastal and aquatic habitats and warmer temperatures associated with global warming.
Durian - Golden Pillow
Durian is the best fruit on the planet..lol
I have tried a variety of them.. the "fat" one is the best :)
this time was a disappointment at Lee
They essentially use the same marketing techiques of diamonds.
The commodity/dishes remain basically the same, but the
higher the price it gives the illusion to their customers
that they are getting something super duper good :)
