| - This place is absolutely fantastic. It's a bit hard to find because it's INSIDE of one of the malls (just adjacent to Pacific Mall if I recall correctly).
Now, I'll admit I didn't explore every single restaurant in Markham and in Chinatown in downtown Toronto, but this is some of the best congee I've ever had. It's full of flavor, and they put lots of good ingredients in there. You can also order those Chinese fried breadsticks and those shrimp things wrapped in that rice noodle stuff (though that I got in Pacific Mall as well at some small restaurant and it tasted good too, so it's probably pretty easy to find that well made).
I think I had the congee with everything + the preserved duck egg. It was fantastic, and my friend was hooked as well. Quick and easy service.
While I was there, I forgot I had paid in cash, not with a card, and asked the server for a pen to sign my bill. She seemed confused, and it was embarrassing. That has nothing to do with the restaurant, but it's sort of funny.
It's about $5ish for a nice-sized bowl too, so it's a great value. Definitely check this place out.
