Really enjoyed date night. I made reservations earlier in the evening and after an appointment in parkdale we walked over. We got there earlier than the reservation but our table was there waiting. The hostess greeted us and sat us right away. We got a small table close to the bar. I usually hate the small tables for two but I didn't seem to mind it much. Our drink orders was taken within a few mins of settling. We ordered the great gazoo, a watermelon, rum and some other stuff mixed inside a hallowed watermelon was really good but didn't take the alcohol. It might have just been disguised with the juices. Dave for a guava and rum drink. That was very good.
We started with a shrimp bao. Delicious. Tangy from the green mangos, spicy and the shrimp has a nice crunch.
Then we tries the pineapple fried rice. The Pork belly was tender and melted as soon as you bit into it. The rice was tastey and pineapple was the right amount of sweet. I wish there were like green chillies in it or some kind of spice. It would've gone nicely with the pineapple.
We also tries the fried chicken - that was Dave's doing. It was okay - light coat and crunchy. But the chicken was bland and needed something more.
Everything cost $110 incl tax and tip. But it's lots of food and we're full with lots of leftovers.
All in all the meal was great. We enjoyed the food and drinks and the atmosphere. I'd like to try their entire drinks menu, everything sounds delicious. I love their presentation for the food And the drinks... Makes you want to try what your neighbors (next table) is having! I guess there will have to be a next time...
