| - Requirement: Bring your CANADIAN personality here.
If you're fluent in Canadian, that's perfect but if you're Chinese like myself you'll actually be a little disoriented at this Chinese Restaurant. Maybe it's the Pan Asian Bistro theme that did it. This is the new SISTER of Skyland De Shanghai.
The over CHIC atmosphere that is uncharacteristic to other Chinese Restaurant is available here, you can refer to their photo. The tables have a bit of scratch to them and the chairs are Chinese themed, you get the idea by now.
Catering to tonight's 95% non-Chinese patrons and 5%(ME), we were not immediately served with a Teapot. They offer Tea, Slush, Juice, Coffees for purchase. The menu has that Shanghai food feel as the MAIN philosophy that probably replicates the items from Skyland.
Steamed Shanghai Style Pork Dumpling(6/$5.99) is good with a thin wrap, light CLEAN flavour soup base. I broke 2 of them though out of 3. A-OK.
Asian's Honey Chicken($10.99) is of Manchu Wok style Chicken where it has that Lemon Chicken aesthetic but this one is SWEET not sour. Not my thing, but my non-Chinese friend liked it.
The server brought our Black Pepper Beef on a Hot Stone($13.99) overflowing of sauce, If you look at the photo you will know why I call this "Lava Beef" and it's as good a presentation point as an Onion Volcano. A-OK
The PRICE point is a little bit high especially if you browse through the Seafood section or even the Peking Duck Specials however my Western friend felt comfortable here and quite enjoyed it as I am slowly prepping him towards more extremes, Duck Tongues and all Hahahaha! Shhhhh, Don't let him know.
