Eating With Gordon

Went there today after a LONG LONG exhausting week of meetings and work. The old fashion smoked cut meats on rye bread with a slab of honey mustard tasted great. The fries were a little over done but still good.



Would I come back? For sure.

This is a popular malaysia restaurant up in Richmond Hill. It was so popular that the owners updated the space and interiors. Unfortunately, the menu prices did increase; however, the food still taste great! I tried the pad thai yesterday and was great.

They have this special drink called Iced Teh Tarik. It is pricy (4 bucks) but is a specialize milk tea drink that is cooled by constant pouring of the drink from tall heights.

Note: I got lazy these days and haven't brought my camera with me. All pictures in this blurb are from the net.

The singapore laksa is amazing and still the best one in Toronto.


Update 7/8/2009 : went back on Wednesday and had the Mee Krob (it's like chinese stir fry, crispy noodle). It was good!!

Update 1/22/2016 - they take only CASH!

This Asian cafe spot is located in a plaza south of Pacific Mall in Toronto. My friends and family have been visiting this place for a while. The prices are very affordable and the food tastes superb. With most Asian establishments, the servers bring food quickly.

These are photos after coming back from cottaging. Special thanks to Joot for his "Jootfest" treat.

This is another Chinese Asian dim sum restaurant within Market Village besides Pacific Mall. The size of the restaurant is large and the dim sum dishes are $2.10 from Monday to Fridays. Weekends dim sum cost are about $2.50 a dish.

For Mother's Day, the restaurant was filled with elderly people. They would usually do the tai tea exercises in the cafeteria of Market Village but seems everyone took a lesson break today for tea.

The food service was very slow. When the dim sum cart eventually came to our table, some of the foods were gone (ie Chicken Feet!). Additionally, the food becomes colder as the cart trolleys around the restaurant. I also found out that the master Dim Sum chef does not usually arrive till 11 am; so the variety of foods was lacking.

I would probably come back next time when the master chef is there.
Note: this is probably the only restaurant where the shrimp crap hands dishes are the cheapest (2.50 per 2 craws per dish)!

My colleagues and I decided to pig out on "meats". We decided we are meatatarians. It is something we decided long ago and we feel very comfortable about. =)

This restaurant was formally a pizzeria on Eglinton Street. Now it is location to the new CopaCabana - a barbeque steak house buffet where a variety of mouthwatering, skewed meats are brought directly to your table and carved onto your plate. This style of service is called Rodizio-stype dining. To keep the meat servers coming, you keep this paper face up "Fire It Up!" Once you are almost dead, just flip this paper over for "Cool It".



In addition to their selections of meat, they have a salad/appentizer buffet bar on the side which contains seafood, rice dishes, pasta, cheese and vegetables. Desserts are extra; however you probably will get full from the meats and grilled pine apple. The cost per person without tip, tax is exactly $30 dollars per person.

By the end of the evening, I was going to explode. It was great especially the pineapple. I wish they had more selection since they give more on Fridays and Saturdays. Would I come back? For sure.

The Grilled Pineapple:

This was the best tasting pineapple in the world. Crispy on the skin with flavours of caramel with the soft inner texture of the pineapple. I probably requested 6+ slices.
