Lamanna's Bakery

We have developed an obsession with Italian hot tables (they're cheaper than restaurants and the food is made fresh and refreshed daily).

Another Italian bakery and hot table restaurant - but it's on the far side of Scarborough (too far to make the regular trip).

Lasagna

Fantastic! It has a lot of meat sauce and lots of pasta and cheese. In my opinion, I think this one beats Agincourt Bakery in terms of flavour and size.

Chicken Parmigiana sandwich

This was okay, I prefer the lasagna. :)

Eclair, cannoli and cheesecake

The cannoli shell wasn't as good as Agincourt's, but they do have a bigger selection of desserts here.

Salad Days

July 6, 2018

Smoked salmon salad with capers, asparagus, broccoli salad

Hearty portion for a healthy dinner!

Feb 25, 2015

My friend recently introduced me to Salad Days in the Yonge and Bloor area for lunch.

They recently opened another branch in underground near the Marriott Bloor Yorkville Hotel, but the original is in Cumberland Terrace. The line up at the newer location is much longer (and a little further for both of us), so we grabbed lunch at the Cumberland location where we could also sit down at a table to eat and catch up.

Large Salad with smoked salmon

Custom salad with spring mix, tomato and cucumber salad, pears and green beans.

Probably not the typical mix, but my friend said the green beans were good (and they were delicious - if a little cold) and the pears were crisp and sweet. I got Italian dressing since I thought it would help flavour the salad and keep it all together.

Overall: I was pretty impressed! A lunch in Yorkville for under $10 and everything was fresh and delicious. Awesome!

Keung's

Chicken and Pork Chop with cream and tomato sauce spaghetti

A huge portion of pork chop, chicken steak and spaghetti, but unfortunately, still not quite the savoury flavour I'm looking for in a tomato sauce spaghetti. I do like mixing the cream and tomato sauce together though and this was a pretty good mix.

Mel's Diner - Waterloo

Throw back to my school days at Waterloo!

I used to love their skillets

Ultimate Skillet (top) and French Skillet (bottom)

The ultimate skillet was onions, peppers, ham and mushrooms with cheese on top - a savoury combination. However, the French skillet is my favourite with crispy chicken, swiss cheese, onions, peppers and hollandaise sauce - AMAZING!
