REVIEW | Best Dragon Seafood Restaurant

In my opinion, Chinese restaurants usually tend to give the most bang for your buck. You can usually walk out of the restaurant feeling full and satisfied without a deep hole in your pocket. Best Dragon Seafood Restaurant is no exception especially since it's known for its seafood.



The great thing about most Chinese restaurants is that they offer set meals, making dinner decisions quick and painless with a large group. Best Dragon offers a variety of set meals with different option whether you want to go with crab or lobster. Most meals will come with a veggie dish of some sort.

Don't be worried that the meal isn't enough, it usually ends up being more than what they advertised but you can always order a la carte if you see something you want that's not part of the set.

One thing that we have learned from eating seafood at Chinese restaurants is be careful of how they prepare the seafood. They can either just stir fry with garlic and keep it simple or they will fry it with onion. While both taste great, fresh seafood shouldn't really be fried because it takes away from the freshness of the dish.


Our set didn't include the sweet and sour pork, this was a pretty good take on it and bonus points for using fresh pineapple!


This grouper fish was stir fried and then the bottom was fried. It was a nice touch to fry it and have two different textures in one dish.


As far as vegetable dishes go, this one was pretty good, I've always had a soft spot for king oyster for their buttery taste and this one wasn't too oily which tends to be a problem in a lot of other Chinese restaurants.

There's been a lot of hype with seafood restaurants lately sparked by Fishman Lobster Clubhouse's (read the review here) extravagant plating but in opinion, Best Dragon has better quality seafood at a much better price.

McDonalds - The Great Canadian Taste Adventure

As much as we love going to a fancy restaurant for a three course meal with things we don`t know how to pronounce, the guilty pleasure for both of us will always be McDonalds.  Everyone has their classic choices whether its a BigMac or a Filet-O-Fish but we were pretty pumped to try out some new options from the Great Canadian Taste Adventure.  There`s something comforting knowing that where ever you are in the world, you will more than likely stumble onto a Mcdonalds.  One fun aspect for me while I travel is going into a McDonalds  and finding all the different options. Not only are there new things to try this summer, you can enter into a contest to try and win a Great Canadian Adventure. There are definitely many places in Canada I would love to travel to but haven't had the opportunity. Visit the website here   for more info on how to win!  Some of the items have passed but there is still time to try other things!  The McLobster made with 100% Atlantic Lobster. This sandwich de

EVENT | Our Recap on the Delicious Food Show 2014 - what we ate, drank & loved!

The 3-day Delicious Food Show, perfect for food lovers in Toronto is back for 2014. Unlike other culinary shows that happen in the city, what I like about DFS is that it's not massive and overcrowded but has a good number of exhibitors and features an impressive list of celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations and workshops - talk about interactive! I returned this year and left with a full stomach once again.

EVENT | Taste of Toronto July 24 - 27 at Fort York - this summer's foodie event you don't want to miss!

It's finally here! I feel like we have been talking & writing about Taste of Toronto for months now, and after attending the opening night yesterday, I urge you, don't miss out! Celebrity chefs, demonstrations, wine tastings and most of all, the delicious food was very worthwhile. In fact, I'm going again on Saturday ;)  Once you validate your ticket at the front and enter through the gates, it's time to eat! The dishes offered at the restaurant booths go for 6, 8 or 10 'crowns'. Crowns are the official currency at Taste for you to buy food and 1 crown = $1 .  Just head on over to the Crown Stations to load up your ToT cards with crowns.  I recommend loading it up with around $25-30.  Any leftover crowns will be donated to the event's charity partner, Second Harvest. There's also a slew of food & drink vendors on site such as Momofuku Milkbar (got my crack pie), Ice Volcano Ice Cream, Greenhouse Juice Co., Baretta Family Farm & more! Metro is
