| - I was in Toronto/Mississauga for two days, and I only had a couple of requirements for my short time there: (1) I wanted chocolate Timbits from Tim Horton's because the American equivalent (Dunkin' Donuts) is major suckfest, and (2) I absolutely must have Hakka food. So Eddie's is where I ended up, and oh em gee (insert girlish squeal), it was amazing. Manchurian fish, Chili chicken (dry), shrimp pakora, and fried rice. It was Asian food deliciousness that made me feel like a beached whale, but you might as well call me Shamu because never have I been so happy to refer to myself as a beached whale.
The service was pretty stellar in that every waiter/waitress in the joint checked up on us, rather than one specific person, although the guy who brought us our food was a bit of a douche. They all move pretty fast too, so it's important to speak up, and speak fast or they'll be gone before you realize it. Eddie can be seen walking around schmoozing with the patrons, which I think is a nice personal touch. The place was absolutely packed, and we had to wait a little while to get our seats, but after trying the food I can see why it would be so busy.
I think what really sold me on this place was that after we finished eating, I took the leftovers back to my hotel and ate it for breakfast the next day (that's right, breakfast) and it was still absolutely delicious. You know you have something special when leftovers taste good. At that point I knew... I'm moving to Toronto just for the Hakka food. And Tim Horton's. And PIzza Pops. And Smarties. I think that's it. Oh, and for your colored money; it's so cool looking. Except for the twoonies; that's just ridiculous.
