In Toronto, it’s not hard to find fantastic, authentic Chinese food. You can find high end expensive places, hole in the wall treasures, Hong Kong style restaurants, strip mall takeout spots, westernized joints and the typical health code violation, ridiculously cheap, 24 hour spots. Historically, Toronto’s China town was in the downtown core, but in the past decade or so, it’s migrated North to the suburbs. A little while ago, four of us headed up to Richmond Hill to very reasonable, but great quality seafood restaurant my mom found. Not having eaten this stuff for a while, it was awesome.
Crispy Pigeon.
The star of the show, the fucking 5 POUND lobster. That’s not a typo, it’s a 5 pound lobster for fifty bucks. The claw was as big as my hand.
Close up of the lobster. It was so good.
Steamed egg custard.
Chinese veggies.
Stir fried beef with onions.
Glass noodles with winter mellon and veggies.
Braised tofu with seafood.
All of the above with soup and dessert ended up being $135 tax included. That’s not necessarily cheap for Chinese food, but for a 5 pound lobster with a head as big as my dog’s, that’s not bad at all. And it tasted great!
