| - Taiwanese food! I always find it so comforting. Maybe cause it reminds me of home. This restaurant does a pretty good job at TW homey food. The menu is pretty varied, with the usual Taiwanese snacks.. but disappointed there's a lot of things not available such as stinky tofu, oyster omelette, and oyster noodles! Instead, this time we ordered: pork thick soup, fried tofu with pickled vegetables, meat dumpling (ba wan), tempura with sweet sauce, minced pork noodles in soup, and wintermelon tea.
The best flavours were the minced pork noodles in soup which tasted so flavourful and such a big serving, and the meat dumplings, which although the skin was not so Q, the filling was super tasty. The fried tofu was also pretty good, with a very thin layer of crispy and lots of soft pillowy tofu inside. The pork thick soup was okay. I found it had too much vinegar and too sour. The tempura was okay too but the sauce wasn't flavourful enough. It was very watery. I really miss the tempura in the street food stalls in Taiwan!!! And the wintermelon tea was too diluted I tasted no wintermelon at all.
Overall it was pretty good, I don't expect too much in Toronto for Taiwanese food. I think it's a hit and miss depending what you order.
