Toronto St Lawrence Market
After visiting Pickering Market, "The One" and I decided, how can we miss our own Toronto's premier market, even mention as "One of the 25 best markets in the world, according to Food & Wine magazine" (that's what the St Lawrence's Market website says hehehe)
St. Lawrence Market, located at Front and Jarvis Streets houses over 60 specialty vendors consist of the 'North/Farmer's market', 'South market', 'market gallery' and 'St. Lawrence hall'
North Market/Farmer's market operates only on weekend. On Sat, from 5am, Ontario growers will bring their produce and sell it at the market and on Sunday this place will be occupied by the antique dealers..
Entrance of the North Mkt/Famer's Mkt (theres a beautiful wall mural of the scene of the mkt), behind the North Mkt, you can see the top of the St. Lawrence Hall

Found these eggsentials interesting little items : Anything to do with Eggs with the theme of the chick! ;) There's egg spatula, egg slicer, yolk egg separator, egg masher, fridge magnet, adjustable measuring spoon, egg timer, egg tongs, mini pan...soooo cute :)

The lower level has an area explaining history of the South Mkt, with pictures and text

Cant resist taking a pic of this 'temptations'...

The second floor of the South Market is home to the Market Gallery, the official exhibition centre for the City of Toronto Archives. "The One" and I ain't much of a 'museum lover' so we skipped this section :P
Of course, how can we not taste some food from St. Lawrence Mkt,
Our chef grilling our fishes for the sandwiches..

"The One" and I had grilled talipia sandwich and grilled salmon sandwich..and I have to say, the sandwiches are wonderful (as usual, after finish eating, remember didn't take pic) hehehe
Cheerios and keep smiling!

Nice photos. I especially like the egg stuff.
Hi Winnie, wow! We have not gone to this place I think 7 years!
We prefer go to Kesington market and China town, Dundas/spadina.
By the way, have you gone to Trent Canal, North on Markham road, half way to Rama Casino. Reach 'Bolsover' make a right. About 90 KM from here. You will see big boats go thru the few locks, downstream to up stream. Further up, they raise the whole boat or boats and water too. Very nice place spend weekend. Also nearby here go to Lagoon city...its like Venice, with canals all over and beautiful homes, boats parked underneath or infront or behind house. Beautiful place. UL.
Thanks jonzz :) yeah lor..when I saw those eggsentials stuffs, I was so attracted to them
I guess in 7 years these places hasnt change much has it,Uncle Lee? :) we havent been to Kesington mkt yet..that will be one that we will go later :) We been to Chinatown, esp to eat the roast meat there :)
Trent Canal? wow, sounds like a romantic place Uncle Lee, thanks for that suggestion, will definitely love to check it out. :)
u hv a great week!
Hi Winnie, Yes, go check out Trent Canal, and further up the road about 5 miles, make a left turn at a small village...there's another Lock where they lift up the boats and water, like raising an Olympic swimming pool with boats inside.
Check out Lagoon City, on the way. You'll love this place, very unusual. If I have loose change I sure buy a house here, put my boat there go fishing.
Oh ya Winnie, if you go to Trent Canal...check out your Map...go North on Markham, reach 'Bolsover' 90 KM, (what a funny name that! I when bring my Malaysian visitors will say, 'ahh, we arrive at Bola terbalek', ha ha) bring along a picnic basket, there are lovely bbq stoves, benches and tables for the public.
You have to pay I think $2.50 this for the Park conversation. Watch how they raise the boats from lower river to higher lever.
And if your sayang enjoy's fishing, bring along his rod, get lisence first from Canadian tire.
You'll see lots of American cruiser boats and ahaaa, you'll see men and women in their bikinis lying on their boats, whooohooo! They all travel up river go to the other Lakes via these locks.
UL.
I bet if my mum's friend saw these photos, she will be reminded of her years of travelling to Toronto and shopping in that area. Her daughters live there.
I believe my neighbour from Klang has also settled in Toronto. It has been ages since I spoke to her and her brother. :)
thanks Uncle Lee, u "painted" such a nice pic of the place :) Sayang, like fishing..me NEVER caught a fish in my life! (except the ones in fish bowl) hahaha Dont think I can "stand" on a boat for long esp when its just still and rocking in the sea land fishing might be better for me hehehe
wahh ladies in bikini..geee..wonder if nose will bleed too much :P
u have a great week Uncle Lee, temp should be nice now :)
I also remembered most of my travel, esp with my galfriends j.t., alot of 'misadventures' but lots of fun..I bet you have alot of wonderful memories of your travels too :)
