I luv Noodle King. Prior to the pandemic, it's my GO TO PLACE for lunch. It's a long line up during lunch time back then coz it's good value, tasty and worth the wait. Best yet, the owner is very courteous and he is very flexible, you can mix whatever meat you want on your noodles and he is ok with it. Of course, as long as you are willing to pay, you can plug in whatever meat you want. One time I didn't feel like eating bok choy and he subsituted with broccoli, which I appreicated.

Most often, I am amazed how good a memory the owner is of what people order as he moves the line very quick. Although this place is a food court, it serves many food items way better than many other Chinese restaurants.

There are so many food items that is my favourite:

- Spicy beef brisket ho fun
- Soy chicken rice noodles
- BBQ Pork + Tofu
- Sometimes I like to add in extra pork dumplings or tofu, so many choices and variations

I visited my work office one day and decided to check if Noodle King is still there and it was, so I decided to order the BBQ Pork + Pork Dumplings with ho fun, so good! One of the best in Toronto. I will miss this place since I won't be back in office anytime soon.

Food prices at Famous Foods Street Eats are definitely not cheap, but you pay for what you pay for on the Las Vegas Strip.

Anyhow, we ordered the snack bites marinated cucumbers and it was refreshing and delicious. We also ordered the pan fried dumplings and buns, they are pretty decent.

Fast service and the digital ipad ordering is efficient, we can sit and chill at the table and once we get a text message, we just walked over and pickup our food.

The Old Mill Park is a beautiful park overlooking the Trent-Severn Waterway, it's peaceful and it's a great way to enjoy outdoors.

This park is also home of the Giant Toonie Monument which recognizes the artist, Brent Townsend, whose design was used in the Canadian Toonie Coin. It's photogenic and is social media worthy.

There are no parking spot in this park but there are street parking near the entrance (only a few of them) but you can park along the main street Campbellford and walk over.

This Mardi Gras Museum in Lake Charles is unique and has the biggest collection of costumes being showcased in the world. I was told that there are 290+ costumes on display.

I found it fascinating that the mannequin that are being used to showcase the costumes are customized to reflect the real person who once wore these costumes, very neat isn't it?

All the costumes are very beautiful and it allows us to travel back in time to see the various colours, materials, theme that each Krew uses annually. I also get to understand the definition of "Krew" and how the number of Krew groups determine who is the biggest Mardi Gras in the world.

This museum is allows us to understand the Krews, the kings and queens, and the arts & culture of Mardi Gras.
