| - Being in Toronto, with the 2nd largest Asian population in Canada, Danny was adamant he wanted to have Chinese food while in town. I happily obliged because, hey who doesn't love Chinese food!? I let him make the decision because he's quite particular. He had wanted Peking duck and this place had great reviews online about their Peking duck. It's tucked inside the Met Hotel in Toronto just off Dundas. The place is very tastefully decorated; simple but classy. We were unable to see a menu (and prices) beforehand, so after walking in we were afraid how much we'd end up spending. Looking over the menu, everything seemed pretty pricey, but was (pleasantly) surprised that their Peking duck dinner was 60$ (good for 2-6 people). It's a 2 course meal, with the breasts cut thinly to eat with little tortillas drizzled with hoisin sauce and dycon, and then the rest of the meat is chopped up with carrots, celery and mushrooms and spooned into lettuce cups. Not ever really having a duck meal, I must say I really enjoyed it. The duck was flavourful and moist and paired very well with the hoisin and dycon. The second course offered up a different taste but was just as delicious. I left sufficiently suffoncified and would definitely recommend this place for the Peking duck. We saw the other dishes featured and the portions looked rather small for the pricing, so stick with the duck (it's a much better deal). The service is very proper and professional, however we ended up waiting a good 30 minutes before getting our bill, and the waiter never bother to bring back any change; we wanted 5$ back, but after waiting an additional 5 minutes to get his attention, we just decided to leave.
