| - I was told that the place was of Western style cuisine, so don't expect the place to give you the typical asian dishes you find in Chinese restaurants. I came on a Saturday afternoon with my partner and the place was not extremely packed. We were taken to our tables and the waiter was quite quick to get our order.
I ordered curry chicken with rice while my partner ordered the honey glazed pork chop. The curry tasted quite sweet, and not as curry-ish as I had expected. The chicken was alright when combined with the curry. The rice, however, was quite dry. Having it with curry didn't make it much better. As for my friend's pork chop - it tasted quite bland. It was served with cranberry sauce, which was not a good combination for my friends taste. His dish also came with steamed vegetables - which were basically frozen vegetables. They were also, quite bland. I think the only part I liked from his plate was the cranberry sauce. The portion was pretty large for both our dishes, but for the quality was a bit of a disappointment.
Here is the main reason why we came for a visit: Dessert! I was told from my friend (we are both avid dessert lovers) His favourite being the Mango Meringue Cake offered at Maxim. However, he did warn me the cakes are sometimes really good and sometimes average (inconsistent quality). When we tried it, the meringue was quite delicious. However, there was so much cream and not that much mango bits. So, the proportion didn't fit quite well, so the experience wasn't anything special for me. They have other cakes though. I would give them a try again, if I ever visit Toronto again. But perhaps not for the meals.
