| - Tai Ping Hsiang is located among many other quick fast-food style restaurants in Metro Square off Steeles Ave in Markham.
There are dumpling houses, Korean spots, Asian legend, bubble tea spots, Hong Kong style cafes, chinese bakeries, and then... there is Tai Ping Hsiang.
It specializes in bento box meals, and their signature is their Taiwanese style popcorn chicken.
The place can get hectic I find, at all times of the day. The workers speak very little english, and the organization of the place can be confusing at first. When you walk in, there is a menu on the wall and a cashier. However, you are supposed to walk all the way to the back where the fridge is, order your food, wait for it to come out of the back kitchen, and then pay last.
The popcorn chicken is delicious (6.50). Seasoned and marinated in chinese spices, crispy, but surprisingly not greasy. The snack size comes in a paper bag with skewers for sharing. Or you can pay an extra 0.75 and get a meal with white rice and 3 side dishes. I recommend the sweet potato, green beans, and tomato and scrambled egg.
Check this place out! Better for take out, as there are only 2 small tables.
