After trying out Dumpling King up in Scarborough, one of my readers suggested that I try Mother's Dumplings located in downtown Chinatown on Spadina Avenue.
Did you know that I practically grew up in this old Chinatown? As a child , my grandparents took me here a few times a week during my summer holidays and I would learn all of the different grocery stores and dim sum restaurants. A great walk down memory lane to have Piquey Eater adventures come back here.
Bringing the attention to the food, Mother's Dumplings causes a serious case of nostalgia with chinese comfort food and makes it very approachable for the novice diner. With a menu that breaks down the different dumplings into steamed, boiled and pan fried, this is a great location for a person new to Chinese home cooking.
My favourite dish from the night would have to be pork and vegetable pancake and the beef onion roll. Both meaty in flavour for the stuffing and dumpling skins that weren't too thick.
