| - The trick of dim sum, tapas, or any appetizer-based meal is knowing what you're ordering. Thankfully whenever I go to New Treasure, I'm either armed with Chinese people, or am in the company of people who know what we ordered last time. It's a fantastic way to shake things up in the brunching hour when you find yourself getting tired of sunny-side eggs and strip bacon.
Right at Dundas and University, New Treasure lives up to its name. It's hidden. Well, down below street level, but you do have to keep an eye out for it. Once you enter, you could not find a plainer setting. Once you past the lobster and crab tank, a single room opens to you housing several round tables with plastic tablecloths (you'll know why when it happens) and several place settings. Once seated, a perusal of the menu ensues. Unless you know exactly what you want, this can take some time. But as such, enjoy it.
Tea is brought about rapidly from excruciatingly efficient wait staff, and once prepared, the dishes hit the table with lightning speed. Dumplings, pork buns, rolls, meats and vegetables show up steaming hot and ready to attack. In the same manner that the décor is unassuming, the meal commands attention and is above all inexpensive, filling, and tasty.
