| - I love this spot. It is exotic and welcoming, warm and thrilling all at the same time. Jennifer and Michael have created something in Toronto that is unique. I could say that I have seen it before in Amsterdam, but that wouldn't be quite true. They have created a spot that is as Toronto as Toronto gets. We explore the world, learn and bring back the best with twists that we learn about in our local culture. Little Sister has done that. It is a true local, focused on the street food of Indonesia, amped up by the fine dining sensibilties that Toronto expects. The bonus for me is that I don't have to go downtown to get the edge I desire. They have brought the cool vibe to Yonge and Eglinton. So not only brilliant satay's in jump-up peanut sauce, but also nasi goreng that you can have for breakfast lunch and dinner. There is nothing like this north of King, Queen, Bloor and beyond. The bar is wrapped in an eclectic music-scape as well designed as the cocktails that expert mixologists Jeremy and Kiera nail every night of the week. Back to the exotic part, there's gin with hot peppers, rum coconut and lemon grass drinks and my personal favorite the Komodo Stinger. A smoked mezcal based cocktail that you'd be hard pressed to find in Manhattan or Mexico City. Cask aged brilliance. And after a libation opens your palate, the pangsit, or the beef rendang taco, line you up perfectly with larger plates of pork belly and subtlety spiced amyam panggang chicken that you will want an extra order of to take home. The best news about Little Sister, is that it is a place that keeps growing on you and embracing you with all the ambience it brings. It is a new Toronto treasure. I like it so much I don't want to share it.
