Toronto Christmas Market Food Review

          So CBOTW Fam, two part review! I should of taken a picture of the cookie and the Hot chocolate but I didn't... DARN! Anyways I had a Grilled Cheese sandwich with bacon which was actually grilled on an actual grill this time around and it brought a lot of flavor to the sandwich actually. It was so chewy and really good. The bacon seemed like it was a thick pieces of bacon too which is a bonus. They really gave you quality sandwich for 11.25 which is expensive enough but worth every penny. So I'd give the sandwich a 15 out of 10 as it exceeds my expectations. 

                Now we had a dessert at a place called Sweetie Pie which is a normal shop in the Distillery Distinct and I plan on tagging them on our Facebook Fan Page and hopefully they see and read my amazing review. My dad and I ordered a few things, peanut butter cookies (2) for my mom and she said it was very soft and tender and she gave me a small chunk to try and it was really good. She was very impressed. My dad and I both got the Ginger cookies and again soft in ever bite that we took. I'd give em 15 out of 10 like the sandwich above. Now we also got some warm drinks, Belgium Hot Chocolate and was very chocolaty and they even added green and red food coloring to fit the Christmas holidays. We asked them to add in whip cream for an extra buck and it was amazing. I'd also give it a 15 out of 10 as it exceeds my expectations! We will be back there when we visit again in the future outside of the Christmas event. I will highly recommend them as well. So that wraps up the reviews and events for 2023. Thank you for supporting me with all these events, look forward to returning to these events next year but in the meantime it will be full pledge content which I will talk about that on tomorrow's end of the week updates but for now have a good rest of your Thursday.

Christmas Market 2018

          Thursday evening I went to the Christmas Market with my dad and mind you, getting there wasn't easy as we got stuck at Rouge Hill Station for over 20 minutes, so it was putting stress on me especially and I was really trying to be patient which is unusual I am the complete opposite where I am not patient but this time around I was really trying my hardest which was why I was in one of my moods. I wasn't having any of it or putting up with people whom were shoving me around without an "excuse me" whatsoever. I tell you people are either in a rush or just plain rude. I had second thoughts about doing this again next year but I remember that Dave who is earning his Staff tag back so I cannot disappoint him at all with that promise to actually come to the event. I think I was in the heat of the moment with this entire train dilemma.  I am proud of myself trying to stay positive and being patient through this, not usually the case I really lose my patience but I am starting to turn over a new leaf. We had to take the bus from Rouge Hill which lengthened our trip by a mile and a half like literally! We got there on fumes meaning we were starving by the time we got there and was our number 1 priority to eat first before anything else. 



               So after we ate which we both had poutine with chicken on top which I know sounds odd but it was good actually. I ate the chicken fast enough and I didn't know this till my dad mentioned it but there was curry in the spice which made it even better and plan on trying that myself down the road with future Chicken Fingers when my parents go away again as I do not mind a little heat to the Chicken at all and I have had curry powder before in Tai food at my late aunts before she passed. We then looked around and we got a picture taken in a sleigh all we needed was hats and white beards. We looked around as well and listened to a song or two and saw the merry go round and ferris wheel and brings back memories as a kid. We had a good time despite my mood and I wasn't having it that night as I was miserable and this entire train trip in as I was worried we were going to have to turn around and just go home. I wanted to get a refund as I wasn't happy but it wasn't go transit it was the signal that busted over in Scarborough Go Station. I tried to make the best of the Market and there is nothing we can really do about the situation and had to make the best out of this event, maybe next year will be a better trip in.

Toronto Christmas Market @ Toronto Distillery District 2017!

          So last night, more like Thursday night, I got to go to the Distillery District in Toronto for the Toronto Christmas Market with my dad and this was the first time for us going to this ever and we heard about this last year and wanted to go but apparently it ended before Christmas but this year it goes up to the day before Christmas. We traveled to Toronto Via Go Train as it is the fastest way into the city, due to traffic during the rush hour time it would not be too good if we drove in we would of been stuck in traffic and there later then we were on Thursday Night.


So we got there, we took the subway to King Station and the streetcar over to the Distillery District. We got there and went in and I was amazed by all the lights at the distillery/Toronto Christmas Market, the red, the white lights. As you can see above, the white and red lights. Also as you see in the picture above I had a picture with me behind the white star which makes me like a star I guess. They had booths with small snow globes, also Christmas decorations as well. Their were some with food or snacks like a grilled Cheese stand, poutine which I had a poutine with Montreal Smoked Meat which is a French-Canadian kind of dish here in Canada. Also they got a huge tree as you can see on the left side of the post with my dad sort of under the tree. We had a great night, minus the transit booting us off as it was going out of service which it could of gone out of service at the loop and we could of waited for another streetcar to head back to Union Station but oh well, it is what it is and we managed to get home around 930 pm that evening and boy I was exhausted but yet I stayed up till 1 or 2 am in the morning which I haven't slept well but I felt relaxed after a fun evening.
