| - Nice new spot in Markham offering unique dishes.
Food: Good taste and innovative menue, fusion cuisine, nice presentation.
- Truffle Fried Rice: must order if you like truffles. Bursting with truffle flavour, semi raw egg on top, marinated cailiflower and mushrooms, a great tasty combination. Good portion size to share between 2 ppl, but order another bowl if you are with a group.
- Duck Confit Biang Biang Noodles: noodles seem fresh/hand made which was cool, duck was nice and tender, good overall taste. Portion size was a bit smaller than expected, the photos here make the dish look bigger than it is.
- Sunchoke Spring Rolls: never had this type of spring roll before, it's different and I like it. Good portion size with 4 rolls.
- Cod Fish Cakes with Potato Slaw: lovely fried cod cakes, nice flavour, great pairing with the malt jelly. Comes with 2 good sized rounds of cod cake.
Drink: Singapore Sling was good, took advantage of tge Yelp $5 check in special.
Service: great, friendly. Good dish recommendations. Does come by to check on patrons and refills water.
Place: black modern interior, special blackboard menue is nice. Only issue is that the restaurant is small and seems to cater more to groups. For 2 people, there's only 2 tables or stool seating by the window if they are saving the larger tables for groups.
Price: decently priced but on the higher end based on portion size. They are close to Inspire (another one of my fav fusion restaurants) and the portion size there at a similar price point is huge, so something to think about if they are going the 'tapas' route.
Overall, a solid recommend. Would come back again to try other dishes and the special chalkboard menue items. A great addition to Markham!
