Day 2 of our Toronto Thanksgiving 2011 trip took us to Pacific Mall in the Markham suburbs of the city.
This place holds a special significance in my heart as I used to come up to Toronto every chance I had during my undergraduate years at Carnegie Mellon.
Basically, once you step inside Pacific Mall, it's a huge indoor complex filled with independently owned boutiques and shops selling all the things you'd find in Shanghai and Hong Kong (cute tees, stuffed animals, crystalized iPhone cases, etc)...oh and not to mention, a killer food court selection!! (yum yum)
Our "hearty" lunch of Roast Pork with Duck on Rice, Ginseng Soup and Shark's Fin Egg Custard...delicious!
Peter hanging out with the porkers, chickos and duckies...ohhh why do you have to be so yummy?

Me waiting for lunch part two...just kidding, well, not really, can you really blame me for not being able to pass up on sweetened condense milk toast?
Me--Sonia Rykiel Black Crystal Sweater, Isabel Marant Burgundy Burnout tee, Stitchs Grey Lynx Denim Leggings, Chanel Multicolor Iridescent Fabric classic flap bag
Check out that menu...now if only I can get some places in Pacific Mall to move next door to wherever I live, I would be one happy (probably fatter) camper :)
Somehow, Peter found his way to a meat skewer stand haha
We weren't sure why this huge chair and decor was randomly placed on this stage right in the Pacific Mall Food Court area, but we figured we'd take advantage of it for a photo op :)

Checking out these super cool 3D crystal iPhone cases...sadly, no one thought to make any for Android phones (like mine...sniff sniff--trust me, I asked just about every shop I went into LOL)

How could I resist a Doraemon hoodie? Petah, please? :) (Yours truly now has a Red Doraemon Hoodie Jacket in her closet hehehe)

Oh and Pacific Mall has this amazing mango fruit drink, so hard to describe but it was one of the best drinks Peter and I had ever come across!

Super odd things you find whenever you're in some Chinese mall/shopping area haha...
After spending most of the day at Pacific Mall, Peter and I went back into Toronto and had dinner at Lai Wah Heen (our newly favorite "fancy" restaurant in Toronto) :)
Lobster with Fruit Mayo Salad--amazing, brings back lots of memories from eating this in Hong Kong
Yes, Frette table linens at a Chinese restaurant hehe
Someone seems extra happy to see this Peking Duckie on our table...wonder who it is???? :)

Shark's Fin Soup :)
Lettuce Cups...not the typical kind you find at any ol' Chinese place either, it was bursting with flavor!
Peking Style Pork Chops
Steamed Baby Bok Choy with Crab Meat--so light but yummy, bok choy is essential in every Chinese meal for us :)
Fried Rice from the Peking Duck
Me being incredibly/uncomfortably full (after ordering 6 dishes for just us two to eat)...
