In 2026, a visit to the Newmarket Kia dealership offered unexpected ease, followed by a delightful Korean dining experience at 'Bapjip' in Thornhill. This review also captures the final breakfast moments on a morning graced by the first snowfall.
Newmarket Kia Dealer Visit: The Secret to Unexpected Smoothness?
My visit to the Newmarket Kia dealership was surprisingly smooth. I enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate in the customer service lounge, making the wait pleasant. The real game-changer was my son bringing snow tires, which expedited the entire process. This efficiency allowed us to say our goodbyes and move on to our next destination promptly. Even then, the surrounding fields retained their golden autumn hues. It was a clear reminder of how unexpected conveniences can significantly boost customer satisfaction.
Thornhill's Korean Gem 'Bapjip': The Amazing Taste of Soy Sauce Shrimp Bibimbap
'Bapjip', located in the PAT North Korean Food Plaza, lives up to its name, offering a cozy and authentic Korean dining experience. My late lunch of soy sauce shrimp bibimbap was an absolute hit. The perfect balance of sweet and savory soy sauce marinade, fresh shrimp, and nutty bibimbap was unforgettable. It's a dish I'd eagerly order again. My husband's bibimbap and my son's yukhoe (beef tartare) and naengmyeon (cold noodles) were also excellent. The maeseng-i miyeokguk (seaweed soup) offered a nostalgic taste of Korea. The restaurant's interior features private rooms decorated with vintage Korean signage, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. 'Bapjip' is undoubtedly the top choice for authentic Korean cuisine in Thornhill.
'Bapjip' Recommended Dishes & Visit Tips: Your Guide to a Successful Meal
'Bapjip' boasts a diverse menu, including Dolsot Bibimbap (hot stone pot bibimbap), Yukjeon Chilk-naengmyeon (beef pancake cold noodles), and Soy Sauce Shrimp Bibimbap. The Soy Sauce Shrimp Bibimbap, in particular, is highly praised online for its sweet, savory, and fresh taste without any fishiness. The Yukjeon Chilk-naengmyeon offers a refreshing blend of cold noodles and savory beef pancakes, while the Dolsot Bibimbap provides a rich texture with warm ingredients in a sizzling stone pot. For the best experience, consider visiting during lunch or early dinner. Late evenings might mean longer waits or limited seating. The restaurant is best suited for small groups of 2-4 people; larger parties should inquire in advance. Also, note that 'Bapjip' is closed every Wednesday, so it's wise to confirm their operating hours before your visit. This spot is perfect for anyone craving Korean food, whether you're a visitor exploring international flavors or a local missing a taste of home.
First Snow Morning: A Final Hotel Breakfast and a Bittersweet Farewell
Sipping a soda that tasted like 'Guava' – a low-sugar option that perfectly suited my palate – I passed through familiar, charming neighborhoods. However, upon returning to the hotel, even the room I had booked for the remaining two nights, which was the most satisfactory one, left me feeling disappointed. Due to personal circumstances, I had to cancel the rest of my stay and move elsewhere, making even this room feel like a letdown. After a total of seven nights, I won't be returning to this hotel. While breakfast was included, the room's condition wasn't as good as last year.
