| - CASH ONLY
It was a dark and stormy Scarborough night...
So a couple of friends and I have been trying to hunt down another place but have been unsuccessful for a number of reasons. Driving down Midland, we had to come up with a plan B given that is 9pm, raining, and we can not find the place we originally came for.
First rule of dinner club: you look for crowded places. We see Dong Kee, it's packed, and we wander in...
Brilliant. It was packed but the staff efficiently got us all seated after a short wait and our order taken. For the three of us, we had: honey pepper short ribs, salt and pepper mushrooms, Pork Neck (!!!) with Lotus and Okra, Singapore Noodles, and Salt Fish Fried Rice. Plenty of food for three. Damage: $38:00. No complaints. It was great. Even the fried rice was good with it being light and not clumpy. The mushrooms were fried (who woulda thunk it) and delicious, and the short ribs and neck (!!!) were on point. Even the noodles and rice (which tend to be an afterthought) were fantastic.
The menu was huge so even if the above does not appeal to you, there should be something for you to like.
Will definitely be headed back. In a situation like this, I think 4 stars is a compliment in that food this good deserves to be compared to the best for its price range. It it the best Cantonese (big up Wayne for narrowing this down for me) I have ever had? Of course not but I will be headed back definitely.
REMEMBER: CASH ONLY.
