Lover of traditional, well executed Cantonese 'wok-hay ’ stirred fry cuisine and feeling a sense of loss caused by the closing of ’ Maple Yip, Scarborough ’ a while back…Please do not feel despair! There’s ’ Wei’s Kitchen ’ inside First Markham Place to the rescue!
Manned by a talented young chef from China’s Guangdong province and his friendly wife, this hole-in-the-wall eatery managed to follow Maple Yip’s footstep by churning out some incredibly tasty Cantonese fare!
Some of the delectable stand-out dishes I enjoyed immensely during recent visits included:
-
Crispy Sweet & Sour Pork Spare Ribs
-
Stirred fry Garlic Stems with Sliced Beef
-
Stirred Fry Free Range Chicken with Ginger, Scallions and Aromatic Herbs
-
Stirred Fry Beef with ’ Choi-Sum ’
-
Stirred Fry Squids with Flowering Chives and Fermented Salted Shrimp Paste
-
Stirred Fry House Cured Salted Pork with Lotus Roots and Fermented Bean Curd
-
Stirred Fry Razor Clams with Garlic Black Bean Sauce
-
Deep Fried Ocean Smelt with Seasoned Peppered Salt
-
House Special 5 Taste-Components Braised Duck
-
Chui-Chow Style Oyster Omelette Pancake
-
Pan Fried/Baked Pork Chop with Sweet & Tangy ‘Imperial Capital’ Sauce
All dishes were lovingly prepared and executed. Main ingredients in stirred fry dishes were nicely caramelized and oozing with smokey wok-hay aroma. Seasoning of the sweet & sour dishes were spot-on and well balanced.
Coupled with an attractive price point, this place should be on everyone’s radar screen if considering a tasty, casual and homey Cantonese meal!
