  • My good friend and his parents took me out to this restaurant when I was visiting Toronto over New Years. As I would only be in Toronto for a few days, I really wanted to try out the Chinese food. This restaurant is his parents' favorite place near their home, and it certainly did not disappoint. I should preface my review of the food by saying that his parents, in their kind generosity, overordered. By a lot. By the end of the meal I was literally so full I could hardly move, and my stomach was trying to fight its way out of my jeans. This led me to remember the meal through a fog of leptin-induced food coma, but I can say with certainty that each dish was consistently very good. Beef with Chinese broccoli: one of my favorite dishes. The beef was very tender and full of flavor. Cold appetizer platter: probably my least favorite. This platter had an assortment of odd things like cold squid, pork gelatin, some sort of jerky, pickled cabbage, etc. Not really my thing but most likely these dishes are acquired tastes. Slow cooked pork belly: delicious, melt apart in your mouth tender meat with a healthy serving of belly fat, stewed in a flavorful sauce and served with pickled mustard greens. Szechuan bubbling oil fish: a beautifully presented dish with a combination of tender fish, cabbage, and bean sprouts cooked in a spicy broth, with red chili peppers floating inside. This dish is perfect for a cold day and will immediately clear out your sinuses. Peking duck: one of my favorite dishes of all time. The restaurants did a great job of butchering the duck and preserving the crispy skin. The crackling, fatty skin and tender duck meat go perfectly with hoisin sauce, cucumber slices, and spring onion in the wrapper. Mapo tofu: another excellent dish. Not too spicy, but a good balance of tofu and pork. Kung pao chicken: I didn't like this as much, as it was a little bit spicy for me and on the dry side. I also expect more peanuts in a kung pao dish, but the chicken was cooked well. Soup dumplings: no visit to a Shanghai restaurant is complete without soup dumplings. The skin was nice and thin but not too easily breakable. The broth was flavorful and hot. Although my stay in Toronto was short, I left feeling extremely satisfied that I had accomplished my goal of eating some good Chinese food.
