I don't have to drive to Markham for good dim sum anymore!
First impression: the biggest jar of savory pepper oil was on our table. I was overjoyed because fancy dim sum places give you only a dab to last throughout the meal. Needless to say, I lavished each dumpling in red pepper oil!
Fave dim sum baskets:
-The plain chang fun (I think they called it a rice roll) was gooey-chewy goodness on its own, and had a hint of jasmine tea infusion, seemingly. The sprinkle of sesame seeds on top plus the peanut dipping sauce added just enough incremental flavor.
-The tapioca custards (maybe called "pellets" on the menu) were gelatinous and had the consistency of tiny clear pearls like from a boba drink! Delish hot and sweet, but also good cold!
Minus one star because the shrimp weren't de-veined =( That's an absolute essential with me. And I went waaay overboard eating my last sesame ball. Yes, it was so good I totally stuffed myself!
Convenient. Fast service (at 1PM on a Saturday). Lotsa tables. Inexpensive. Easy to read menu that still allows for some "surprises"!
