| - Having an ancestry from Teo Chew ??, Chinese, I really enjoyed Tom's House mainly because their food is really traditional Teo Chew styled. This business wasn't opened very long ago, and the waitress explained that they didn't have menus yet and their food menu was on a board.
One of my favourites was the oyster pancake. It was GINORMOUS and had a delicious chewy texture to it; something you don't see very common anymore as most places just use the egg. This is the non-traditional way and it makes the oyster pancake unchewy. The chewy texture is a mixture of yam flour and duck egg and is very uncommon in Toronto restaurants. The vegetables dish was a little oily, but the vegetables were nice and hot; something I love about Chinese dishes "WOK STYLED, like steaming hot WOK STYLE!"
Lastly, we ordered one of their noodles, I didn't enjoy the noodles as much as the other two dishes, but I mean it was still average. The "toppings" you can put in them are really special and some were Teo Chew styled. We got the fish gluten as one of them (I would recommend it, it's something you commonly cannot eat at other restaurants)!
The chef was super nice when we met him after dinner! Also, they have chocolates and Chinese New Year candy at the cash register (I secretly wonder how long Chinese supermarkets store the Chinese New Year candies for, I swear they have it year-round, but nevertheless, I still gobble them up in a jiffy)!
