| - My date and I were looking for someplace to eat on a Wednesday night that wasn't packed, because this place is probably the longest running restaurant on Ossington (besides the original vietnamese places), there was actually a table - amazing!
The menu is a single page listing about 30 small plates ranging from $9-$25. It's one of the first places that was doing asian fusion before it become a trend and hte chef expertly mixes up flavours for some seriously tasty dishes.
The server recommended 4-5 between the 2 of us and we ended up ordering 4:
Scallop Ceviche - wowowowow.....so good, we got about 6 decent sized scallops that were amazingly fresh.
Spicy Crispy Shrimps with Jalapenos and Garlic - again perfectly crispy, not too greasy, delicious sauce and the shrimps were big and fresh
Beef cheeks in a red curry sauce - the beef was fork tender, almost like pulled pork, in a rich curry....coma inducing heavy...but worth the calories
Slow-Braised Pork Belly with Muscatel Reduction - so good...but if you're not familiar with pork belly, be prepared for the 1" layer of fat and the 1/4" layer of meat, pure indulgence.
If you want to splurge, i would recommend the steamed black cod - you get a whole fish wrapped in aluminum that takes a while to prepare... but it is heaven (still remember it from 2 years ago)
There were a handful of wines by the glass and we were actually too full to have dessert.
Always loved this place, it's never disappointed me - a foodie favourite!
