This trip through remotest Quebec has only been open to teenage girls for 20 years. Our slightly older writer joins one group

Muskeg is a delight unknown to many and it’s not easy to identify. Step in it and it creates a farting noise, then engulfs your leg. If you’re lucky you will only sink up to your ankle, but often much more of you goes in. It consumes shoes, it rips off socks and sometimes you need help to get out. It’s a dark tar-like substance, probably with a lot of beaver poo in it.

I don’t know what the exact botanical definition is, but essentially muskeg is a floating peat bog. It’s sphagnum moss and a lot of decaying vegetation. It’s a large thing of mud that’s stinky and out here in the taiga of northern Quebec. I’m surrounded by it. The coniferous forests of this subarctic region are crisscrossed with thousands of lakes, rivers and bogs, and the spongy ground often conceals sinkholes, which makes walking arduous and a little dangerous.

Long summer days are finally upon us, and what better way to spend them than in a glorious park setting, complete with delectable food, your favourite company and a refreshing bottle or two of fruity cider?

If you enter this competition, you could win everything you need to enjoy the perfect day outdoors: a wireless speaker, so you can relax to the sound of your favourite tunes; a blanket (because nobody likes grass-stained trousers); and a cooler bag – perfect for chilling the 12 bottles of Crumpton Oaks cider that are also up for grabs. All you’ll need to do is add the food!

Having grown cider apples for four generations, the experts over at Crumpton Oaks Cider Co pride themselves on selecting only the finest fruit to blend into their much loved cider range. And the proof is in the taste. The award-winning golden Apple Cider is crafted using bittersweet apples from their orchard family and offers a delightfully medium-dry taste with a crisp finish.

My son Nick was turning thirty; (I think I was more shaken by the news than he was). I was told by his wife Chelsea that he really liked red velvet cake. Well, here is what I came-up with. Its relatively easy and fast but best to make over a couple of days in stages. One day to make the raspberry coulis, and chop the pistachios, one day to make the cake and filling. Assembly takes 30 minutes, and voilà! He really liked it.

The “Circuit Breaker” period was a challenging period for many restaurants and cafes, and especially so for these NEW establishments which have just opened.

Other than the more established names, I felt that I needed to showcase some of the more hidden less-publicised spots, like a creative bubble tea shop at VivoCity called Beyond Coffee, inexpensive Thai & kopi food place near Bukit Ho Swee, and a cafe at Potong Pasir run by the 3rd gen of Shangri-La Confectionary and Delicatessen.

Enjoy!

Bubble Tea & Coffee Place With Creative Flavours
While new bubble tea places are dime-in-a-dozen, the menu of this new shop Beyond Coffee at Vivocity may make you stop in your tracks.

This offerings is quite unlike anything else you would find in Singapore, with categories of “Special”, “Addiction”, “Cool”, “Crafted”, “Coffee” and “Jelly”.

Its specialty beverages include Tomato Tango ($7.50) which is a combination of cherry tomato, seaweed and coffee; Go Bananas ($7.50) with banana cheese foam, banana and milk; Osmanthus Prime ($4.90) of Osmanthus with milk, coffee, cheese foam and gula melaka boba; and Crack Mee Up ($7.50) added with popping boba and salted egg yolk biscuit. Wah.

As they are still in the soft launch phase, I had the safer choice of a cooling Sabai Sabai ($6.50) of lemongrass, lemon and coffee. An interesting combination that made me feel like I was in a spa.

I shall get more adventurous the next time.

Camping at the Toronto Zoo is officially a thing. If you've ever wanted to watch an African lion prowling in the night, here's your chance.

It's almost too epic to be true, but yes, the largest zoo in Canada has just introduced a new sleepover experience called the Wild Tails Campsite that lets you explore the zoo at night. 

Described as a "self-guided camping adventure", visitors are granted after-hours access to areas like African Savanna (think cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, and rhinos) and Canadian Domain (spot lynxes, bison, maybe a moose). 

There are a total of 19 campsites at the Toronto Zoo, which can accommodate group sizes between 1 to 3 people ($185) or 4 to 6 people ($250). It's tents only; no trailers or RVs allowed. 

That camping fee will grant you admission to the zoo after 4:30 p.m. until 9 a.m. the next morning. 

It also comes with dinner at the Simba Safari Lodge Restaurant and a light breakfast snack. 

If you want to take your night-vision to the next level, the zoo is renting out bat detectors: handheld devices that let you hear the ultrasonic calls of bats that would typically be inaudible to the human ear. 

Starting Aug. 13, visitors will also be able to tack on admission to the  Toronto Zoo's light show, Terra Lumina, for an additional fee. 

One of the best parts of summer is that you can exercise outdoors even if gyms recently opened as part of Stage 3.

After all, experts say that just 20 minutes of working out outside is the equivalent of downing one cup of coffee due to its energy-boosting effects

Luckily, one of the best hidden gems for workout fanatics is the 99-Step Trail in Newmarket - just 40 minutes north of Toronto. This trail, which marks the head of the Thornton Bales Conservation Area, is famous for its rugged hiking trails and steep natural staircase. 

A post shared by kindness is louder (@speakyourkind) on Jul 25, 2018 at 8:21am PDT

Until a couple years ago, these stairs were assembled with uneven natural logs, making it a challenging and slightly dangerous trail to enjoy.

The stairs have now been replaced with better-constructed lumber, and widened considerably, so that you can safely jog the steps with a partner or furry friend.

A post shared by Jenna-Lea Patey (@pateyjay) on Jul 3, 2018 at 4:38am PDT

This trail though, is no easy feat. Good footwear is pretty much mandatory, and be prepared to sweat. The change in vertical elevation from the top of 99-steps to the bottom is greater than the drop over Niagara Falls!

A post shared by Joshua Zarpellon (@ricky_valintino) on Jun 5, 2018 at 4:30pm PDT

The 99-step climb is owned and managed by Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. The area surrounding it occupies several hundred acres of wetlands, lush forests, and open fields on the western portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine. 

A post shared by CaptainDestructo (@captaindestructo) on May 20, 2018 at 4:41pm PDT

This stunning conservation area is called "an island in a sea of development" as mass subdivisions take over nearby land, which makes the quiet, untouched nature of Thornton Bales seem like a hidden paradise.

A post shared by Appreciate the little things (@victoriamayphotography) on May 4, 2018 at 8:14pm PDT

The 99-Step Trail is open year-round and the small parking lot at the top of the trail's head is located off Mulock Sideroad, 3 km west of Yonge Street.
