Miliken Restaurant & Bar is a cheap and decent dim sum restaurant in the Scarborough area. Prices are $2.10 for all dishes during the week and $2.40 for the weekend. I live awfully close to the restaurant so I also appreciate the convenience.
Some of my favourites here include:
Deep fried taro dumpling
Korean style short ribs
Deep fried meat dumpling- the slightly sweetened glutinous exterior was thick and had a nice, chewy texture
Rice noodle roll-wrapped Crispy Dough- surprisingly refined and delicious
Egg tarts
Sesame dumpling with bitter melon and salted egg yolk- a very interesting dessert. The bitter melon is very subtle and I could hardly taste it.
All in all, not a bad place for cheap dim sum. I'd come during the week if possible to avoid the weekend crowd (and price premium). But on the weekends, the servers circulate around holding dishes that are not on the menu, and these items are not available during the week. I always like to see what they bring out (and it's usually quite enticing), so I try not to order so much from the regular menu and save some room for these special items.
