| - Lamb/wing/tendon skewers, hand pulled noodles, dumplings, green onion pancakes.....
Oh my how this place rules!
I haven't made a review in a while so what better way to kick start things with a 5-star smorgasbord of delectable delights!
I was introduced to this place by Tony and initially I was a bit hesitant because this restaurant prides itself on its lamb dishes and I detest lamb very much. It's the smell and taste I can't handle. Some people would classify this as "gamey" but to me, it tastes like plastic. Don't ask my why I associate plastic with it because I haven't tasted plastic itself but it just induces that taste in me. I'm sorry if I offended you lamb lovers with my comments and acknowledge that taste is subjective obviously!
Anyways, I still gave it a shot because you need to be open minded in order to try new things and boy am I happy that I did. I'm going to forgo my traditional review structure and just highlight some dishes: (one thing to note is that most of the dishes can be a bit spicy so just tell the waitress to go mild if you can't handle it)
Skewers:
Lamb or Tendon or Chicken wing? So many choices...well, get them all! Each skewer comes with about 4-5 pieces. Chicken wings come in 3 and are HUGE.
Hand Pulled Noodles:
Do you know hand pulled noodles? Do you really? "You don't even know!" (Dane Cook)
These are the characteristics of a successful hand pulled noodle.
a. inconsistent thickness
b. a bit chewy
That's what the noodles here are like and I love it. It's really hard to find good hand pulled noodles in the city because it's labour intensive, but the end product is worth it! So right now, this place has the BEST hand pulled noodles in the city. I just recently came back from China and they are almost on par.
Dumplings, pancakes, etc.
Most of you should be familiar with Shanghainese food. Well the usual menu items are available but so much better then places like Asian Legend without a doubt.
To Conclude:
Get off your butt and cruise/bus/run (you might want to run to justify the grease and carbs:P) on over to this place. Ironically, it's in the same plaza as Asian Legend. Competition? If you think China (Xin Jiang) vs. Canada (Asian Legend) in ping pong is competition =P
p.s. the lamb was awesome. Tasted and smelt nothing like it as it was seasoned well!
p.p.s. I did not mean to personally attack Asian Legend btw:P Just needed to give a base-line for people to compare to since it's such a popular restaurant.
