APM is a new canto fusion restaurant that opened near Downtown Markham.
I went with my family for Thanksgiving dinner. Here's a breakdown of what we ordered: -
- marinated duck - would highly recommend this dish. I think it's one of their signatures. The duck wasn't too fatty or greasy, and the flavours were very prominent
- Xiaolong bao - not a fan and would not recommend. The meat was tight, the insides were dry, and it felt like they were from a frozen package
- Curry fish vermicelli soup - this one was a big strange... especially since most Chinese restaurants don't really use coconut based curries, especially as soup bases. It wasn't as good as a Singaporean Laksa, but it had a homey taste to it
- steamed garlic shrimp rice - this one was just really overpriced. They literally put a boat load of rice into a bamboo steamer, sprinkled some garlic and dried shrimp and called it a day. It tasted as the description says, but there's really nothing special about it
- sweet and sour fish - typical dish
- stir fry beef - typical dish
Being a NEW restaurant in the heart of Downtown Markham, I guess I came in with really high expectations. Even many franchises that opened hear have really beautiful, modern redesign. But this place was just ordinary. The service was relatively fast and courteous, and the decor didn't really have a prevalent theme. I would say this is your typical canto fusion resto.
