Gal's Sushi (North York) *.

My boyfriend took me to Gal's Sushi (North York) for dinner. 

At first I didn't know this place was called Gal's Sushi, so when I came here I was like.. why didn't we just go to the one in Markham? It's same thing no?! Turns out noo, it's not! This restaurant's specialty is their flounder's fish and it was amazzzingggg!! (They don't have the flounder fish at the Markham location) I even took my family here to try it out :D

I'd highly recommend:

* Flounder Fish Sashimi - It's super fresh! I'd recommend saving some to cook in the spicy soup (it comes with the combo)
* Spicy fish soup - It's pretty spicy when it's just a 'regular spice', so those who cannot take spiciness, ask the server for mild!

Things that were included:

* Tempura - Not a big fan of tempura but it was included as part of the combo

You can choose either grilled fish or soju as part of the combo. We chose the grilled fish haha.. not a hardcore dinner. We were super stuffed after dinner.

東京スカイツリー Tokyo Skytree *.

I love  東京スカイツリー!! 

😻 The view! It was amazing - loved every view from the tower!

😻 Tokyo Tower from the outside :) We were lucky we had blue skies for this pretty shot!

I was debating on revisiting the Tokyo tower or Tokyo Skytree.. I'm glad we chose Tokyo Skytree :D There were so many mini stores in the tower to visit. It is possible to spend the whole day shopping here. 

😻 The Pokemon Centre was also part of the Tokyo Tower - here I am with Oddish haha


My favourite shop within the tower is the fake-foods shop. There's a fake-foods making demonstration everyday for those who want to see how the workers make fake-foods. 

😻 Look at the details!! Amazing!!

😻 The mold to make fake sushis

😻 Fake sushi painting

😻 Putting fake sushis together!

😻 These looks DELICIOUS - they're ALL FAKE. I was so amazed. Love this shop.

😻 Look at that pizza!! too real

😻  The grilled fish looks SO YUMMY!

😻 Check out that Katsu-don :)

😻 Loved this pictorial display at the line up for Tokyo Tower. Very creative.

There are lots of souvenirs and specialized shops here. I'd recommend that you block off a few hours so you have time to go through the whole tower.

😻  C for Cherie!

Woodstone Eatery *.

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch. We're always down to try new CCTs! :D 

Woodstone Eatery gets 3.5 / 5 stars. The interior of the place is modern and clean. Service was just ok - they kept forgetting to give us the menu and utensils. The place was pretty packed, I believe most people are here to try this new restaurant out. Be prepared to wait 10-15 mins for a table. We were lucky to get a table right away because someone just left as we arrived.

DRINKS: 

* ICED LEMON TEA (2/5)

This was pretty watered down..

* CHEESY BAKED BBQ PORK ON RICE (3.5/5)
(with poached egg on top, but my egg was over cooked so it wasn't poached haha)

I ordered this because it was one of the most recommended items on the menu. I liked it!! The cha siu (barbecued pork) was very sweet and came in large chunks. I liked how much sauce was drenched in the rice - #saucebause. I would've given this dish a 4/5 if they added more cheese. 

* SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE 
My boyfriend ordered this dish and said it was pretty delicious. He said that he would choose my choice over his though. I tried some of the spaghetti and thought it needed more flavour.

I'd come back to try other items on the menu :)

Kookminhakgyo *.

I came here during the weekend and it was soo packed during the early hours already!! We left our phone numbers at the restaurant for the waitress to call us when a table is available. 

Kookminhakgyo is a small-sized restaurant that gives a "real Korean KBBQ experience". You can barbecue the meats on a barrel-like table. 

We actually came by on a Monday, parked and realized it's closed on Mondays - be warned hahaha.
We came back on a Fri-yay!

It's definitely a cheaper option than other KBBQ places because even if you order a la carte, you will still get all the side dishes, spicy soup and steamed egg. The steamed egg was AMAZING!! I've always loved steamed eggs but Kookminhakgyo made it so flavourful and yummy!

We ordered:
* Pork belly
* Pork neck
* Beef finger-strips 

I'd recommend getting the marinated options on the menu because the meats that we ordered didn't have much taste, unless we used their sauces. I'd come back to order other items on the menu. Overall, the service was excellent and I really appreciate how diligent and quickly the servers worked to clean up our tables to get us seated.
