| - Toronto is known to have some of the best Chinese food out there, and this place is no exception. I went for dim sum, and had some delicious food! The short ribs were very tasty and juicy. The soft shell crabs were crispy and flavorful. The Congee was thick and rich. The "Lo Pak Goh" (Not sure the English name, something to do with radishes) was really some of the better ones I've ever had. The sticky rice in lotus leaves were on point. And my favorite dim sum dish ever, Baked BBQ Pork Bun, had a slight variation to it that had this sweet topping made of egg whites I think. The pork was delectable and the bun was soft, like biting into a cloud, if that's what clouds were like. No, this was probably better than biting into a cloud, because this bun, especially with that topping, was tasty! It was really awesome! Finally for dessert, we ordered this triple decker Napoleon pastry that was probably 9 inches tall (22.5 cm for you non-Americans), and it was the flakiest and puffiest pastry I've ever had. Cutting into it was like setting off a bunch of firecrackers as you listen to the cackle and pop of the pastry. It was great. And we got stuffed, brought home three boxes of leftovers, for about $70 (I freeloaded off of family, so I can't give a more precise cost analysis). Talk about quantity to cost ratio! Very enjoyable experience. Reason I'm giving 4 stars versus 5 is most likely due to expectations. As good as the food was, this mainly met my pretty high expectations given how many good Chinese food places there are around here. Definitely an awesome place I'd recommend to come check out.
