Review: Cafe en Passant in Richmond Hill
February 14th, 2011We met up with Ralf at Cafe En Passant to talk about an awesome date idea for Valentines day. This French cafe offers an amazing Valentines-specific menu and celebrates many other special occasions. They are located in downtown Richmond Hill, close to the Richmond Hill Center of Performing Arts, which means you can catch a play right after your romantic dinner. Ralf and his staff will be sure to recommend different types of wines to compliment your dish and will show you daily specials. They also cater to vegetarians, and the salads are delicious! You and your loved one will be pleased with the service during your visit and there is a patio available for summer dates. Be sure to visit Cafe En Passant with your significant other. Enjoy!
how to properly eat lamb chops
February 13th, 2011On a date and ordered lamb chops for dinner? Surprise! It’s a little difficult to get through without using your hands and it’s important to use proper etiquette. After all, if you’re ordering a rack of lamb you’re most likely to be sitting in a finer dining establishment. To help, we’ve asked Ralf, owner of Cafe en Passant in Richmond Hill to show us how to properly cut and take delight in your meal. Cafe en Passant is a French restaurant that’s been in the community for over 30 years with Ralf here for the last 10. The lamb that you see here is part of his special Valentine’s menu which was divine. I’ve been telling friends and family about it all evening last night! Slightly crisp outer layer that’s very tender on the inside. Cutting the lamb was very easy and clean to hold. I was hardly talking while I slowly enjoyed each strip, stirring it around in sauce (wish i remember the name so I could look up a quick recipe). Paired with Austrian wine (the lamb is from Australia) finished nicely. If only I could eat like this all the time.
Say Tea II for the finest freshest teas in Toronto!
January 7th, 2011Tash recently visited Say Tea II near Yonge and Eglinton (2496 Yonge Street) to meet Sue and talk about the fine teas that she has in store. New for the season are Crab Tree and Evelyn, Marks and Spencer boxed Tea bags, Fancy Oolong tea, Oolong Ti Kuan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy) tea, China Oolong tea, and Milk Oolong Tea (coming soon). We had the pleasure of sampling some Vanilla Chai tea on our trip and loved it. Around the colder months, I usually prefer spiced teas over green teas so the spiced Chai flavor coupled with vanilla gave the tea a smooth but spicy flavour. The vanilla also removes the rough after taste of Chai tea and leaves a silkier finish. It’s one of my favorites at the moment and there are lots more in store to choose from! Will be seeing her soon!

Toronto Eaton Centre’s indoor snowfall
December 10th, 2010
Did you happen to see the Swarovski crystal Christmas tree this year? In case you missed it, here’s this year’s tree (I know, the same as last year) but the difference is that if you check it out at 7pm nightly (except Sundays because it is closed at 7pm) the Eaton Centre puts out a snow display! It’ll start snowing all around, indoors!
