Located just a step away from McGill campus, Café Humble Lion is an local independent cafe that opened a few weeks ago. It’s my latest study hub and I love the soothing ambiance. The cafe is pretty spacious as there are only a couple of tables and high wooden tables, but I’ve never failed to […]
Pretty much summed up my life during the past few weeks here. Finals are coming in less than 3 weeks and I’m overwhelmed with all the papers (when I mean all I mean SIX) that I have to write before that. So next time when you see me here, I’ll probably be blogging in Hong […]
I’m in love. Yes, the kind of love that you always hear people falling head-over-heels to, but instead of falling for a person, I’m in love with two cities. And here’s the problem: I don’t know which one I love more, Hong Kong or Montreal. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Yours Truly has started […]
Having been in a game of patience/silence for the past seven days, I am now officially back onto my food therapy regime. So on day #N (because I just can’t remember which day it was), I woke up after 13 hours of sleep and had a sudden craving for ice cream. When it comes to […]

On my second last day in Montreal before heading back home for summer, my big brother Jeff and I decided to go on a mini road trip to the Mile End. It was almost the very first day of summer in Montreal this year, the weather was super nice and it made me wish that […]
As I’ve promised from an earlier post, here’s the complete review for Nil Bleu! There are few restaurants that specialize in Ethiopian cuisine in Montreal and the MRC team just did a review at the award-winning Nil Bleu. Ethiopian cuisine requires eating with bare hands and it’s a uniquely fun eating experience. You get to […]
Since when do we ever get such a warm and sunny day during WINTER? Yes, Montreal’s winter isn’t over until the end of March or April… We Montrealers never let go of any chance to go out in the sun so we can leave their Canada Goose/Moose Knuckles behind. On a bright and breezy Sunday […]
the little snowflake on rachel est As I’m pretty much free from the burden of midterms, last weekend was the perfect time for me to get out of downtown and explore Montreal. I did a bit research online and Café Névé grabbed my attention with its famous homemade cookies. So I dragged my friends Giulia […]
