Crown Princess is the new high end dim sum kid on the block that opened in mid-September. It joins the list of places I would take my Canadian friends or out of town guests to try out dim sum for their first time. The list contains Dynasty up at Bloor and Avenue Road, Lai Wah Hein at the Metropolitan hotel, Lai Toh Hei -it's sister restaurant up on Mount Pleasant and Cha Liu which is at Yonge and Eg.
Crown Princess does offer a discount to those who will wake up and come before 11am but to me, dim sum is a lunch time activity however I paid the price (pardon the pun). Perhaps I should consider getting off my high horse to get the deal.
Outstanding things on the menu:
Deep fried taro dumplings
Shrimp rice rolls which come with spinach inside it
Chicken feet- OK folks - don't be grossed out. I like them and don't usually have the opportunity to eat them and they were de-lish-cious.
Har Gaw
Deep fried Octopus
