Once again, I met up with my decades-long ex-chowhounder foodie friend - HKTraveller for another overdue mini-chowmeet. This time at an obscurely located Dim Sum place.
We decided on this venue because it has garnered Google review ratings that surprisingly, bested some of GTA’s most popular Dim Sum spots like Skyview Fusion, The One Fusion, Yu_Seafood, Orient Bistro…to name a few.
The minuscule size of our party limited the quantity of our selection. Together we picked the following:
- Har Gow steamed prawn dumplings
- Fried Taro Croquettes
- Fried crueller wrapped in steamed rice crepe.
- Steamed Chicken feet in Chui-Hau sauce
- Char-Siu-Bao BBQ Pork Buns
Though nothing truly stands out, however, overall quality is quite acceptable by GTA standard.
Despite this lack-lustre rating, however, I will return! My decision?!..the outcome of our friendly lady server delivering a gorgeous looking plate of ’ Crispy Rice Vermicelli topped with Beef in Black bean sauce ’ to our neighbouring table. The dark appealing colour of the sauce, the well caramelised beef slices, the perfectly executed green and red peppers plus their collective accompanying aroma resembled a page from some Hong Kong Dai-Pai-Dong wok-hay specialist…a sight seldom encountered in the GTA these days!
