| - This place is wonderful and we will be going back again. We had the son in law eggs and trifecta of skewers for apps. We started with the skewers, the chilli garlic shrimp sing to your taste buds, and memory as I am still thinking of them two days later. The oyster mushrooms were similarly revelatory, still need to pickup skewers for our grill. The chicken is more subtle and no less pleasing, my suggestion is a swig of a refreshing beverage prior to tasting the chicken. Next, we moved on to the son-in-law eggs, these will make anyone smile!
We ordered the hawker laksa and the Singapore noodles with sides of steamed rice and coconut rice for mains. The attention and care it takes to make rice this good is important not to take for granted, and there isn't much of anything to hide behind with the rice presented separately and attractively. The laksa, this what you want here, it is complex, balanced, and just the right level of rich in flavour, without being heavy. The laksa arrived with the steamed rice and went beautifully. After finishing the laksa we very quickly regretted ordering just one and resolved to remedy that based on how we felt after the Singapore noodles. The Singapore noodles are spicy, and arrived with the coconut rice. I like spicy and this pushed me mere centimetres out of my comfort zone in a good way. Like being in a storm without an umbrella, you must commit to getting wet. In this case spicy hot, and heat becomes enjoyable.
We then shared dessert, and my wife who doesn't like red bean anything enjoyed it enough to let slip that she regretted sharing it.
Thank you for a great dining experience, the service was impeccable, you're a beacon of deliciousness in Toronto.
We went back for a second time and and had another awesome time. The chilli crab was so good we were discussing getting another at the end of the meal like our neighbours at the next table who asked for it to be hotter.
