DeSiam Thai in Whitby -- Spicy, Spicy, Spicy

This was my second visit to DeSiam Thai restaurant.

It is very prominently located within the Entertainment Area in Whitby. 

We went on a Saturday afternoon, and it was very quiet.

Thai Spice Calamari Rings.

Calamari Rings with Spicy Sauce

 According to the Menu card, it is crispy fried calamari in Thai spice, served with DeSiam spicy sauce.

The rings were fresh and crispy. I would have preferred the sauce to be more unique, rather than the store-shelf variety, but then this is my own taste.

Mexico Lindo in Whitby and Ajax

We were in Whitby late afternoon, and suddenly a desire to taste something Mexican rose. Ajax has a Mexican restaurant, but we wanted to check out Whitby. Fortunately, we were told there is one simple, but a good restaurant.

After some effort we found the place. It turned out that it is Mexico Lindo whose Ajax branch I had visited earlier.

Island Soul - A Caribbean Jem in Ajax

I have been to the Island Soul restaurant/take-out joint a couple of times. And today the sight of a coal-fired traditional barbecue outside the entrance enticed me, once again.

They had had barbecue chicken and the jerk chicken, so ordered both.

The barbecue chicken was succulent, with a sauce more on the sweet-sour range.

The best, though, was the jerk chicken. Almost crispy skin but not too blackened, and the meat was appropriately dry.



The rice-with-peas was also excellent as always.

In short, this is one place in Ajax that delivers consistency.

Debbie's Cafe in Ajax

Recently visited Debbie’s Café in Ajax.


I had a cappuccino and a chocolate cheese cake to go with. I am not a big fan of desserts, but the cake was marvellous.

Innis And Gunn Oak Aged Beer

It was a special beer, packed in a cute box, almost like a whiskey box.

The box said it was auburn, but I felt it was more a burgundy coloured beer.
