Best SERVICE in Toronto! The waiters aren't overbearing and so inconspicuous that my friend and I barely noticed when they refilled our glasses!
However, the food is hit and miss. Most of the dishes had elements that needed improvement.
Char Siu Bao: Really sweet on top. Really savory inside. Traditional char siu bao tastes better because the sweet and savory flavors are well combined.
Grandpa's Fun Guo: It was alright but nothing special. Might as well order it at a normal dim sum restaurant for half the price!
Roasted beet gado gado: Basically tasted like boiled beets with peanut butter and soya sauce slapped on top. It was disgusting! Can't believe I paid $8 for that!
Shitake Polenta Fries: Best dish of the night! Interesting textures, and a great and less guilty way to eat fries!
Brussel Sprouts: Also very good, but I could roast brussel sprouts at home that would taste just as good.
Palm sugar creme brulee: The sour cherry gelato really compliments the creme brulee. The creme brulee tastes different. I think they used evaporated milk instead of regular milk, but I think there's a reason why it's normally made with regular milk.
Eric is young and inexperienced, but I was expecting more with Alvin Leung as his partner. Glad to have tried the restaurant though since I am a fan of Masterchef, but I would only come back for the polenta fries or the chance for a selfie!
