Out & About #259 | Collective July Visuals

To sum it up, July was an extremely fruitful month of food consumption and friend hangouts. An abundance of ice cream and iced lattes were ingested, and various parts of the GTA were explored and re-explored.

As always, a significant percentage of the following shots will fall under the gustatory category. Continue below to discover what these items were!

1)  Attempting to revert the effects of unhealthy eating with a salad topped with bits of mashed sweet potato
2) Iced Matcha Latte + Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream top a bed of cornflakes
3) CoCo's July special: Fresh Lemonade

4) Halo Halo from Happy Birthday Cakes
Since last summer, the price has increased though the ingredients remained the same. The cups are now slightly larger, though the amount of jellies has not been augmented according to the additional $1.50.

5) Iced Coffee + Maple Syrup-drowned Blueberry Eggos for breakfast

6) Patiently waiting for my turn at the McD's drivethrough at dusk
7) Breakfast consisting of an Iced Green Tea Latte and Cinnamon-Mango Oatmeal
8) A refreshing concoction of iced tea and Ribena

9) Observing the new pedestrian walkway and stop bar at Clarkson GO Station
10) A trip was made downtown for the sake of catching Chanyeol's new movie airing at Yonge-Dundas Cineplex

11. Redeeming birthday coupons in the form of froyo from Qoola
12. Iced Coffee Frappe from McD's
13. Snoopy Feat. Uncle Tetsu's Cheesecake

14. Iced Coffee macro shot

15. Freshii (Erin Mills Town Centre)
Pre-work visuals included claiming my $10 food court gift certificate at Erin Mills Town Centre and immediately utilizing it towards a Khao San Burrito from Freshii.

As a specially-marked item, all proceeds for the burrito would be granted to Me to We, a foundation I recall contributing towards during late middle school days. The burrito itself was chewy and quite satisfying, though gradually became less mild with each bite.​

16. Stopping by to obtain Hokkaido Milk Tea w/ Brown Sugar Jelly from Green Grotto even during a massive rainstorm (sans umbrella)
17. Cylindrical pig cushions/pillows were spotted at Wal-Mart on the trip home

18. Indulgent slices of 奶酪包 generously gifted by the same creator of Waterloocakeshop's delicious Matcha Crepe Cake.
19. Breathtaking view of the sky during evening hours
20. The breakfast of exam takers: coffee and a chocolate chip-and-nuts granola bar

21) A stunning view of the Credit River and surrounding foliage as viewed from Burnhamthorpe while biking
​22) Bidding farewell to my now-emptied box of the Matcha Discovery Collection from DAVIDsTEA 

23) Study session at Green Grotto, in the company of milk teas, rice bowls, and Salt & Pepper Chicken

24) An ever ornately decorated Strawberry Crepe Cake from Waterloocakeshop
25) My friend's Russian Blue cast a wary glance in my direction when I requested taking a photo together.

26) Brûléed Banana Toast for breakfast
27) Revisiting Somethin' Sweet 4 U for Halo Halo
28) Iced Guava Cadabra tea with kiwi slices
29) Spotted on the kitchen counter: the oh-so-coveted Kewpie Mayo!

30) Post-work social at Green Grotto, which involved three Hokkaido Milk Teas and one piping White Chocolate Macchiato

31) Horrid-tasting Match Red Bean crepe cake slice from T&T
​32) Wintermelon Iced Tea and a (repulsive) Thai Milk Tea from Chatime as a post-biking treat

And so concludes this month's round of snaps!
Next month I'll be jetting off to Vancity, so stay tuned for some West Coast action (that is, if I can somehow manage to escape from the dreaded family dinners...)
