Inatei

Inatei 稻亭日本料理, one of a few upscale Japanese restaurants in Richmond Hill. Address: Unit #7-8, 9021 Leslie St, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 0B2. Great work as usual. In constructive criticism point of view, the Chirashi set for ~$13 looks gorgeous, but the rice bed was lack of Japanese rice vinegar and LP figured that the sashimi was odds and ends pieces.

• Rosy shrimp handroll. The nori was ultra crispy. The shrimp was huge, fresh and bouncy.
• Bento. Whenever we go to a new Japanese restaurant, we always order the bento box, just for sampling. Excellent!
• Salmon sashimi. The salmon was of top sashimi grade with a deep orange color and a complex fat pattern.
• Milk tea pudding. The milk tea pudding served with black sugar was surprisingly good, strong bitterly tea contrasted with the sweet black sugar. It's ultra small that it serves in a shooter glass though.

Hilton Homewood suites Markham

Hilton Homewood Suites Toronto-Markham offers 4 different accommodations: Studio, 1-Bedroom suite, Whirlpool suite, and 2-Bedroom family suite. The 1 Bedroom is very similar to the Studio, except that it has a tub and a wall dividing the bedroom and the sitting area with an additional TV. It is a great hotel with good value, but I had never got any Hilton Gold VIP on-property benefit though. Be sure to check out my Travelocity Good Buy Hotels post and select the Top Hotel Deals in Toronto link to browse for the off-season rate.

Hilton Homewood suites Markham - Valentines Day 2010

Hilton Homewood Suites Toronto-Markham, a brand new hotel with all model amenities. Be sure to check out my Travelocity Good Buy Hotels post and select the Top Hotel Deals in Toronto link to browse for the off-season rate. The hotel only has 5 jacuzzi suites and it's consistently $100 on top of the standard room rate, but that is well worth it. The jacuzzi can fit 1 person comfortably, and accommodate 2 persons romantically. Full kitchen with GE appliances, LG flat screen TV, comfortable King bed, and nice couch paired with a trendy leather coffee table, LP wished this were our condo. The complimentary breakfast was pretty good. The crepe was crisp and sweet. The pastries were comparable to the ones at Essence of Unionville.

Hilton Suites Markham - New Year 2010

This is my first stay in a standard room at Hilton Suites Markham as a Hilton Gold VIP. While I was told that the deluxe room I used to have was not available, I could see it bookable online after I checked into the worn out room . I am not sure if it has something to do with the Hilton 20% off Best Available Rate promote, but that is very suspicious.
