Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada
5 stars for the Exhibition Tour of Wedge Collection, Dancing in the Light with MOCA Curator Kate Wong.
I enjoyed the talk very much and gained insight behind the photography pieces and paintings behind Ken Montague’s collection.
There are 3 floors in the building, each floor focusing on one artist.
On the ground floor, there is a large window.
A window piece by an Iranian artist referencing Middle Eastern art and design elements that make up a pattern. As the artist states, this large window is similar to a screen where one can’t see inside from the outside but if one is inside, you can see the outside. A person can observe but not be observed.
The colour against the raw concrete is quite dramatic and beautiful.
The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

Stephen Avenue Walk
A pedestrian only walkway lined with restaurants, bars, stores on either side. As a tourist, I appreciated this area, making it quite easy to find a restaurant of my choice.
McMichael Canadian Art Collection
McMichael is one of my favourite museums in Ontario. It is set in a beautiful piece of land which will undoubtedly inspire one to paint or draw. Stepping foot into the museum that was once a home to Mr. McMichael and family brings a feeling of contentment and joy.
The collections, the permanent and current exhibits are all well curated.
There’s a sculpture garden, the cemetery where some of the Group of Seven artists have been laid to rest, and a trail which is open to the public.
They sometimes have tours which are well organized.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
One of the finest art museums in the world, it never fails to please and surprise me with its exhibits whether permanent or not.
There are 3 buildings, I was only able to do one (never had enough time!) and yet, everything on display was varied and had something for everyone.
The building itself (by Moshe Safdie) is already an architectural eye candy. There is no bad angle.
When in Montreal, this place is a “must visit” for art aficionados.
Highly recommend!

Lee Chen Asian Bistro
This is the nicest and cleanest Chinese restaurant near the Princess of Wales and Royal Alex. Many people dine here before or after going to the theatre.
I’ve been here many times and have tried 30% of their menu already. I have my favourites- the pork belly and the pulled pork baos are good, the soup filled dumplings, the tang yuan dessert is a plus, the almond crusted fish, stewed ribs, their scallion noodles are also good. The serving quantity is enough. You can also ask for brown rice substitution for a small additional fee. Worth it.
Their Dan Dan mien is quite different from all the other Dan Dans I’ve tasted, not exactly what one would expect if you’re familiar with this dish. They use sticky noodles and the sauce is not quite the Dan Dan flavour (no numbing peppercorns) but if you’re craving, ir will have to do. However, I suggest you try other dishes instead.
The service has always been excellent, even pre pandemic. It’s professional, friendly, quiet, quick, polite and unobtrusive.
The interiors are well designed, with taste and ambience that will make dining a joy.
We enjoy dining here and will continue to support them.
I went at a dead hour on a weekday that’s why it looks empty but they have a lot of take aways and deliveries happening.
