| New Generation SushiToronto Price: $ Stars: 3/5
New generation is so popular that I can only eat there on off hours because I hate lining up at restaurants.
The chirashi had decent variety with fresh fish. It would be nice if they had a bit more diversity in the fishies.
These philly rolls had generous portions of smoked salmon as you can see in the picture. Often when I order philly rolls you don't get too much smoked salmon in the roll but these were delish!
Salmon Don! Just looking at the picture is making me drool. Very very fresh with tons of fish and it even had ikura. I couldn't even finish it since it had such generous fat juicy portions.
New generation has great value for money which explains why there are such massive lines everytime I pass it in the Annex during lunch and dinner times.
In other news I booked my tickets to Washington, Edmonton (taking the train to Calgary), Seattle (then busing to Vancouver), Kuala Lumpur (then driving to Singapore, Ipoh, Penang), and finally Phuket. I can't bloody wait! The great thing is that I will be staying with friends in Washington, Edmonton, Calgary and Seattle. In Malaysia I'll be staying with family so that should save me a lot of moola. I'll be travelling for two months. I hope I don't get too tired. It's been four years since I've been back home to Kuala Lumpur and I miss my family so much. Do write to me your restaurant suggestions please :)

| The Sandwich Box Toronto Price: $ Stars: 4/5
I'm back! Sorry for the long hiatus, I've been so so busy. The good news is I have a lot of food reviews and photos to share with you from the past few months so I promise to update more.
I looooove the sandwich box. It's a cute little stylish eatery. For 7.95 you can choose your own sandwich from a list of different spreads, meats, vegetables, cheeses and breads. It also comes with a yummy garden salad. You can pick from high quality gourmet ingredients such as smoked salmon, panchetta, goat cheese etc...
I chose a smoked salmon, brie, arugula and articoke spread on rosemary foccacia. It was delicious. I stared at it and asked, "where have you been all my life?"

They rub some olive oil on the sandwiches and grill them on a panini press which makes it even more delicious.

The boyfriend got a procuitto, asiago, avocado and chipotle spread on calabrese round. Also very very delicious. Sorry he ate some already, he was too hungry to wait for me to pull out my camera haha.
New locations are popping up all over Toronto with one just a 10 min walk away from where I live. I couldn't be happier.

| Seared Scallops with Grilled Cheese and Bacon
Oh how I love my late night grilled cheese. What do I love with my grilled cheese? Bacon! What do I love more than grilled cheese and bacon? Scallops! So why not put them all together in a delicious savory mouthful? We got these super fresh u10 scallops at Taro's on Sheppard. Ingredients: - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 4 large sea scallops
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 slices of white or whole wheat bread
- 3 slices of chopped up bacon
- 1/2 cup of grated cheddar
Directions:
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add scallops. Seal bag, and shake to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; keep warm. Add wine and vinegar to pan; cook 3 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring with a whisk. Stir in scallops; remove from heat. Grill bacon and chop into pieces then add to the cheese between the slices of bread.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet or grill and when melted add the sandwich. Gently press down with a spatula once or twice during the grilling.
When one side is golden, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, turn the sandwich over, and brown. Cut the grilled cheese in 4 pieces.
Assemble and enjoy!
