| - Came here for dim sum and ordered the $45 a head set menu. Yes, it's $45 a person, I know. Get over it. It's a creative menu with extra touches you don't get in any standard Chinese dim sum selection. Wagyu beef, chunks of lobster, truffles, etc.
Shredded Peking Duck and enoki mushrooms in a thick soup flavored with finely shredded conpoy.
Steamed lobster dumpling stuffed with shrimp mousse & finely diced vegetable flavored with garlic.
Steamed scallop, shredded dried conpoy & white fungus in dumpling.
Steamed dumplings of Waygu beef accompanied with thinly sliced Waygu beef, in chili oil.
Deep-fried roll of mixed vegetable & assorted mushrooms.
Deep-fried taro root paste dumpling filled with shredded chicken.
Truffle & lobster escalopes on crispy egg noodles flavored with truffle scented oil.
Chinese dessert - this was a dan tat and a steamed red bean stuffed rice skin ball type of item.
Obviously you don't go to a fancy dancy Chinese restaurant and order the same-old same-old as all dim sum places when you can have something besides that. There is a tea menu as well but you can order more standard teas as well for less. I ordered Tiguanyin (not part of the tea menu), it was alright but definitely not a tiguanyin I would buy by itself. We enjoyed every item on our tasting menu and actually left quite full. They speak Chinese and English perfectly fine, and it's easy to converse in both together. Easily the best Chinese food we had in Toronto, this being our first time there and unable to get out to the burbs where I hear there is more dim sum to be had. And a MUCH better way to spend $100 than stupid Bier Markt, so there!
