| - Equal parts fun, adventurous and delicious have pushed my emotions over the edge to give Miss Thing's five stars. With playful boozy cocktails, a fantastic menu and a cute Polynesian vibe, there's nothing to not like about having dinner here.
- Cocktails - everything we had was very tasty and while there were variations of the standards you'd expect in a tropical-inspired restaurant (rum punchy-type stuff), the variety was good enough to please everyone's liquor preferences. And spectacle is a huge part of the cocktail experience here. I was enamored of the Caribbean Queen which is served in an enormous seahorse chalice - for once I got a sense of what it must be like to be as baller as King Triton in The Little Mermaid, which isn't something I typically expect to feel when out for dinner. Thank you Miss Thing's.
- Dins - we ordered a mix of appetizers and dishes to share. I was delighted by all of the creative choices and knew I couldn't have everything I wanted to try in one meal. We went with the pineapple fried rice, which I recommend you get only with the sweet and sour jackfruit (you have a choice of jackfruit and/or pork belly); we got a mix and while pork belly is dime a dozen these days, the jackfruit is totally unique and delicious. The rest of the rice was incredible, with a strong red pepper flavor anchoring the sweetness of the pineapple and all of the other savory things coming together. Also, it's served in a pineapple.
The fried chicken was the highlight for me as one of those people who needs to eat gluten free. There was so much meat on each piece I felt like the chicken must be regenerating as I was eating it, which wasn't as disturbing as that might sound since it was amazing. As other diners have mentioned, the batter is softer than normal friend chicken, but it's still crispy, and I think the really down and dirty star-anise spicy glaze you dip the pieces into complements the sweet, soft batter perfectly. I'm going to be back for this chicken! I'm also going to be back for the rest of the menu items. The service was prompt and friendly and the ambiance as I have mentioned is nothing but the retail manifestation of a Hawaiian print shirt - all party, all the time - though still appropriate for a "nice date" out.
Anyway, I'm surprised it doesn't have a higher rating! It's easily as good as--and certainly more interesting cuisine-wise--than some of its super popular neighbors. I say hula hoop those hips on down to Parkdale for a memorable meal!
