I'm from Shanghai and I've been on a quest around Toronto hoping to find authentic food from my hometown.
Today I ordered
Shanghai steamed mini buns
Shanghai pan fried pork buns
Steamed sao-mai
Stir fried shredded eel
Meatball with Shanghai bai-cai
Shanghai fried noodles.
Now on the goodness meter
Mini buns and shredded eel were good
Everything else was meh
On the authenticity meter
Only the shredded eel passed
Everything else flopped
However their steamed mini buns is the best i've had so far in Toronto. (better than the other highly rated place at first markham place)
This place gets a 3 for gettin the eel right and having good mini buns
