Went to Amigo’s restaurant the other week at Silver Star Blvd (across and near PMall). Don’t let the Mexicano name fool you though, it’s a moderately upscale place about asian and some western style dishes. I like Amigos because there’s something homely about the atmosphere and people who work there. I know it’s kinda embarrassing to say, especially nowadays, but it always reminds me of Yokusuka and Bob’s Pizza from the old Dreamcast game Shenmue. (NERD ALERT!)

ahem* Anyways, Amigo’s is great and their weekend special on grilled eel rice is probably the best in scarborough - cheaper and yummier than making it yourself.

Not a bad weekend

My Favourite shots from the last couple days out. I really should upload files off my camera more frequently to avoid these feeling like I just dropped a piano (of photos) onto your head:

Good luck dragons: I’m only guessing they’re for good luck. But I’m sure the odds are on my side thanks to my lucky dragon

Korean & Japanese Restaurant inside of PMall (top floor). Normally I’m wary of places that promote themselves as purveyors of multiple cuisine types. And in this case I was totally right - nice decor and decent presentation but the food itself is not so great.

House cat. I think if I had to choose I’d probably be more a cat person than a dog one. To me, dogs are just too loud and annoying most of the time and I like that cats do their own thing and just come back when they feel like it. Maybe that makes me an introvert?

I’m still getting used to this blog thing, and so far everything here is little more than a fancy mirror for stuff I already have up on my flickr. I’m trying out marsedit for more serendipitous written posting, as well as some other stuff I can’t quite recall right now. Eventually, I’ll get back in the groove though.
