| - I love dim sum and have hit it up in as many cities as I can while on the road. I have eaten it in at least 4-5 different countries..
When I went in search of dim sum on friday morning while in Toronto, my friend suggested Noble. When we sat and found we had to order our dim sum from a menu, we were out the door with our group of seven looking for the more traditional serving of carts and punch cards. We found it a few blocks later with Sky Dragon.
The place was located on the top floor of the Dragon City Mall. Another in our group had been there and suggested it to us. So we took the leap of faith and went inside.
The decor was rather dated- i'd say circa 1980 by the couch that adorned the front area along with the mirrors there on the wall. The main part of the restaurant was nothing to get excited about.
Although the place was packed, they accomodated our large group immediately and within moments, we had about 15 plates stacked on our table. Two out of our group were dim sum virgins, and I was dealing with my veggie issue (it's a non issue really as I still eat shrimp or fish).
I was blown away by how many shrimp dumpling choices there were- even a shrimp and chives dumpling pan fried that reminded me closely of a potsticker which is one of the choices I miss the most! Shrimp rolls, shrimp wonton soup, sesame balls, and more. I was not for want of items to eat. My friends dove into their char siu bao's and potstickers and various other delights.
We got the bill after it was totalled; it came to less than $70 before tip. What? We each put in $12 and called it a day! What an amazing price for how much food we had gotten. Their prices, while always affordable, change depending on the times of day you are there.
And, after this meal we so thoroughly enjoyed, we stepped out onto their balcony over looking the city and the CN tower for a bunch of photos; us being the tourists that we were. We loved it so much we went back again with a smaller group on sunday afternoon.
