| - Oh Hong Shings...
My friend insisted on taking me here, telling me it was 'real toronto food'. umm, ok. We went the night of nuit blanche, around 1-2am. Place was packed with an interesting mix of people.
They have a very efficient table cleaning service at this place; each table is lined with multiple layers of plastic sheeting. When people leave-the plastic lining is pulled off, and voila there is a brand new clean one underneath :).
Our waiter was a funny guy. He got upset with my friend for not being able to name the specific dish he wanted. the conversation went something like this:
'I want a dish with friend noodles like that table over there has'.
'what fried noodles, what do you want'.
'ok i want that dish right over there...(points at dish at table beside us)
''thats not fried noodles'.
'ok whatever it is i want it'.
'its chicken with noodles' (shakes head and walks away).
We ended up ordering hot and sour soup (nothing spectacular, pretty sure it had msg), chicken with noodles (they were fried and crunchy), and crispy fried beef (best part of the meal, sweet fried crusted beef, very tasty and chewy).
Overall it was an ok dining experience. Service was fast, took maybe 5 minutes to get our food after ordering. The food itself was...heavy and fried, cant say it was well flavoured or very creative. If you are looking for hot, fast meals after a late night out, I suppose this is a decent spot. The atmosphere is a bit on the sketchy side (gotta love those plastic sheeted tables)
