| - Amidst the streets of Mississauga lies the Mississauga Chinese Centre, and there is where you'd find the Best Friend Restaurant. Whatever you call it, I honestly don't have the words to describe this restaurant.
The servers here, especially this one lady, was like watching someone's reaction to a movie from start to finish - exciting and hyped up (trying to upsell literally every dish on the menu) to dank and dreadful (literally not giving a damn). She had mustered enough energy to sell 5 dishes that afternoon.
Green Onion & Ginger Lobster: Wasn't bad, but wasn't really that good either. The lobster was tough and rubbery and overall, it was really dry. The flavour was alright, but that alone wasn't enough to save it. Also... fried taro strips on top? Not pretty common, but I'm fine with that.
"Korean Vegetables": This was one of the dishes the waitress was heavily upselling. For $15, you get a plate full of what looks like something a Buddhist temple would serve after prayers. Something along the lines of Buddha's Delight. I can see why she was upselling it though... looks like it only cost 50 cents to make. Disappointing.
Green Beans with Minced Pork: Probably one of the only dishes I didn't mind. It's hard to mess this one up. The beans were cooked to the right doneness (tender, with a nice snap to it) and the minced pork gave it the right amount of saltiness. I could do without the random fried vermicelli bits though.
General Tsao's Chicken: My gosh... this was horrid. They messed up the coating on this real bad. All I could taste was flour. Not batter (cause fried batter covered in sauce is fine), but flour. It was gritty, damp, and disgusting.
And holy **** (pardon my language), this last dish looked like they were bored out of their mind and watched all 15 seasons of Top Chef. It was chicken stuffed with this rice mixture with a side salad doused in sesame sauce. It came on a slate inside a cloche with smoke trapped inside. I came for CHINESE FOOD man, not some weird experiment. If I wanted that, I'd go somewhere else. Anywho, this dish looked like chicken, but tasted like fish. Like seriously?
It was that bad.
This place honestly deserves a 1-star, but I'm giving it 2 for the entertainment value.
A well known man once said, "Your worst enemy could be your best friend, and your best friend could be your worst enemy."
I really think it's the latter only.
