I've had some good eats in the past few months, so I thought I'd share some photos of my favourite meals and dishes. I don't always bring my camera with me when I go out to eat but I tend to Instagram everything, so or those who do follow me on Instagram, I apologize for the re-post here... but, hey, you can never get enough of food porn.

    1. I think my meal at Inspire was my favourite! The best hidden gem in all of Markham, IMO. It's a tiny restaurant so they are ALWAYS packed and it gets hard just to make a reservation because you gotta call like weeks in advance (I think they only have like, ten tables in total), but the food is SO GOOD. And UNIQUE. I don't think I've had dishes quite like that anywhere else. And it's not too expensive, either. :D
