| - The fiance and I had a busy day ahead of us, so I suggested Lucullus for a quick and cheap bite.
This Lucullus is a lot nicer than the other one on Kennedy and 14th. There is a nice selection of dum sum, buns, and desserts to choose from, as well as one of their pre-made combo meals for $6 including a coffee.
Everything looked really good and I wanted to try everything. I spent $25 at a Chinese bakery, which is a lot, considering everything is so darn cheap.
Their BBQ pork buns are probably my favourite thing. We also enjoyed their curry chicken rice box with a coffee. The fiance commented on how their coffee was really tasty and it was a nice surprise, since he wasn't expecting much. His past coffee experiences from Chinese bakeries haven't exactly been positive. The curry chicken was also really good. The perfect amount of spice and sweetness.
Some of the dim sum I got was super greasy, like the taro and meat dumpling with chewy pastry. I actually had to squeeze some of the grease out with a napkin. This bakery is also much more expensive than other Chinese bakeries. You're paying for the quality, name, and rent of this place, lol.
