Date Night at Nota Bene

Hello everyone! Just wanted to recap what happened over the May Long weekend. I hope you guys all had a very relaxing and happy time off. The weather was a bit cold though for this time of year but at least the sun was shining ( for the most part). I will apologize in advance for all the cellphone photos today. I forgot to take my camera out with me for the past few days!

My weekend started with date night at Nota Bene on University and Queen. I had always walked by I've never actually gone in so it was awesome to finally try their food.

My boyfriend got the onion rings to start and they were probably the best onion rings I've ever had. The batter was very thin and the sauce was really flavourful. 

I don't like onion rings but I loved these ones

For the main course, I tried their pulled pork tostada with a pineapple salsa. The pulled pork was quite flavourful but I did find the dish to be a bit sour over all. 

My boyfriend got the ravioli and he said they were really good even though I thought the portion size was a bit on the smaller end.

I'm not sure if I would be full...

Overall, it was nice dinner out and I did enjoy the food at Nota Bene. This was more of a fancy place and the menu was a little pricier so I would recommend this place for more special occasions. 

On Monday night, I got to see one of my best friends and we got to catch up over coffee. It was a really nice day to walk around outside and I took this picture while waiting for her to get tokens.

The Canada Life building is one of my favourite ones in downtown Toronto. My boss's window faces this building and I can honestly say I never get tired of the view. It's a high rise, yet it has so much character and the inside is really pretty too! The best part is that you can use the lights at the top to know what the weather will be like in the upcoming 24 hrs. 

We ended up getting Korean BBQ at a local Korean restaurant. It was a called a "pot lid" and it seemed like enough food for 4 people (the menu specified it for 2 people). 

The two of us had enough leftovers for lunch the next day!

Extras: Goggles bought on Ebay

As some of you will know, I used to be a really avid swimmer, I'd go maybe 2-3 times a week. However I stopped swimming in the last 2-3 months since I lost my goggles and I find it really uncomfortable to be in the water without them. Since I can be really lazy and cheap, I decided to get my replacement on Ebay (~6 dollars) and they finally came after 2 weeks!

So fancy! Comes with a case too!

These are actually a lot more fancy then the last pair that I had from Speedo. I like how they come with a protective hard plastic case. Maybe I won't lose them as easily in the future...

I've tried them on and so far they seem to provide really good suction at the eyes. I'll test them out when I go for a swim this weekend with my dad. 

Anyways, thanks for reading everyone, have a great week!
