| - I came here for a Hong Kong style brunch with my fiance and his family on our second day in Markham. The restaurant is mid-sized and definitely a good place to come for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Service is pretty on point. We ordered a lot of dishes, but I didn't get to take pictures of everything we ate. Here's what I tried and my thoughts:
Chef Style Chicken Congee - apparently this is one of the highlighted dishes in this restaurant, so we gave it a shot. I normally don't have congee with chicken, but it was interesting. It felt very simple, healthy and light. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a simple congee.
Beef Chow Fun - I wanted this dish since I haven't had it in a long, long time. The dish is somewhat different from what we have here in New York. The noodles were different in terms of type of noodles. It also tasted slightly charred/burnt which was a bit of a throw-off.
Sweet Cruller & Dough Cruller - we got both since some of us wanted the dough cruller for the congee and some of us wanted the sweet cruller. Both were fresh and not stale at all.
Sweet Deep Fried Crispy Milk Block - my future sister in-law ordered this as a snack/appetizer and it was definitely golden, deep-fried. It had a crunchy and moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture. I wasn't a huge fan about this dish.
Plain Rice Noodle Roll - OMG! This was absolutely amazing, better than what we have in New York. The rice noodle roll was moist and just mixed very well with the sesame sauce.
Overall, the experience here was better than the Keung's Delight restaurant we went to our first night in Markham. Service was better and the food was pretty good too. I would definitely come back here for Hong Kong style brunch!
