  • If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody's there to hear it, does it really make a sound? If I place an order for chinese food delivery, and it never arrives, can I give it a one-star Yelp review? Damn right, I can. Ming City is the kind of mom-and-pop chop suey shop I usually love. A few tables out front, a massive steel take-out counter at the back, and a host of old-school dining options to devour. Walking by this stretch of Eglinton, I was impressed by it's relative cleanliness and bright, colourful takeout menus. I grabbed one of these menus and hurried home, waiting for the opportunity to order. Perhaps I had found a replacement for my former fix, Tasty Chinese just up the street. Last night, my ship came in, or so I thought. I ordered hot and sour and wonton soups, spring rolls, moo shu for the wife and something with pork for myself. Maybe an order of vegetable chow mien, too. I really don't remember... Why don't I remember you may ask? BECAUSE IT NEVER ARRIVED. Seriously. Ming City is roughly a ten minute walk from my house. Ten minutes if I'm pushing a stroller, stopping every few minutes to comfort a squealing baby and navigate a large cup of Tim Horton's dark roast (which I highly recommend). I accept that the trip by car could take a bit longer, given construction on Eglinton, although cutting through side streets could make that time up. But seriously, we waited over an hour for our food, then called to follow up. "Ten more minutes" we were told. We waited another 20. Called again, and were told that dinner was still 15-20 minutes away. Despite low blood sugar, I politely advised the person who took our order of our proximity to her restaurant. She advised that the driver was out, but would we like to come by want take it out? If you've taken high school physics you may be familiar with Schroedinger's Cat; a thought experiment wherein a key variable in unknowable. In this case, either I could walk over to pick up lukewarm soggy Chinese food which had been sitting an hour and a half, or they simply hadn't bothered to fire our order. I hated physics, and I was hungry. I cancelled the order and we ate frozen pizzas instead. So if you've ACTUALLY eaten from Ming City, you may be able to recommend it. I cannot.
