When I'm anywhere near downtown Toronto, what to get for lunch is a no-brainer. Forget the brisk, harsh service of the sit-down places - go for Chinese pastries!
For a few dollars apiece, a friend and I hunkered down in here, seating ourselves at one of the few tables at the storefront with an assortment of food in front of us. Some of the things we tried:
- meat steamed buns
- triangular curry pastries
- peanut rice balls
- black bean rice balls
- deep fried meat things
- taro pastries
All really good. Like, the kind of stuff on which you can actually taste the refined carbs, sugar, deep fry and other crap, but you push that thought out of your head because it's good.
Sure, it's not gourmet, but for this price who's complaining?
