ethnically diverse street food comes to Toronto

went to check out the new carts at nathan phillips yesterday afternoon. corey mintz's review in the star was pretty accurate

but the only thing I'd like to add is that his complaint of the "spiceless biryani" fortunately will be short lived. on speaking with the owners yesterday (who were really nice, so I hope they make the appropriate changes to make this a success), they purposely toned down the spice on the first day as to not "scare people away". unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem of the rice being lukewarm when I ate it.

the "salsa" (a 7-lentil burrito style pita) was even more of a disappointment. the fillings were stingy and uninspired (essentially just the lentils and some lettuce).

the souvlaki stand on the west side of the square was sold out of meat when i got there, so i can't speak to their quality.

Chinese Dessert Houses? "Sugar water" @ P-Mall + Photos

"sweet culture" at Hwy 7 and kennedy use to be my go to place for chinese desserts/snacks, but it's too far away from me!

i usually go to "Sugar" in the plaza at Finch and Leslie now. Doesn't have as many snacks as sweet culture, but it's closer and the ambiance is nicer to hang out in.

i also still prefer the atmosphere at "go for tea" (but i never get the BBT, just the mango yoghurt drink) compared with the new destiny (where I ordered a slice of cake once and instead got a sliver.....)

where to buy walnut cakes in toronto

i'm pretty sure the one upstairs at p-mall's heritage town is gone. it wasn't there when I went to get bubble tea from the store next door last weekend. it's been replaced by a clothing store.

the store at yonge and sheppard (11 spring garden ave) is called "canaan". it's been there forever!

The Un-Official "Go To" Restaurant Thread

HK Harbour is a great tip! and yes, I have been to D&R Wings on a couple of occasions (love their red bean ice)...don't quite know why it never became a regular place for me, but usually i'm in that area for Pho 88, which is my go-to place for pho.

The Un-Official "Go To" Restaurant Thread

Is this the Arc De Triomphe at the Leslie/Finch Plaza? I know that one closed many months back and was replace by one of those pan-Asian (a la Spring Rolls) restaurants called Rice Paper. Ever since it closed and my other fav HK-style western place up at Bayview/HWY 7 shut down, I've had a hankering for some good HK western food.

My go-to place is definitely "Chicken & Noodles Chinese Restaurant" at Sheppard and Kennedy. Their corn and taro congee is the ultimate comfort food for me. Great for a sunday morning! The "Dan Dan" noodles (noodles with a peanuty sauce) with a couple deep fried pork chops are amazing too.
