Sticky Rice wrapped in Bamboo leaves 鹹肉粽
This is their signature dish and also my favorite one which I fing myself returning for it again and again. You normally need to dip it in soy sauce or sugar but the ones here are so flavorful on it own that you need none. Please go early cause on some busy weekends, it sells out quite early.
Best 鹹肉粽 in Toronto =D

Look at how piping hot it is w/ melt in your mouth fatty pork belly, chestnuts, Chinese mushroom, egg yolk and dried shrimps
Bak kut teh 肉骨茶
The direct transaction is "meat bone tea" which is a very popular Chinese soup throughout Asia. It consist of teh simplest ingredients such as meaty pork ribs simmered in a broth of herbs and spices like star anise, cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds and garlic for hours
It's normally served with tofu puffs or fried dough stick 油炸鬼 and let it sock up the soup. In this case it's the dough stick which I prefer. It's not the best I've had but there's barely any place in Toronto that serve this.
Pork Hock w/ vermicelli 豬腳米粉
The rice noodle is infused with the sauce and I bet the pork hock have been stewed for many hours for it to be that tender
Ginger Glazed Chicken Wings in Hot Pot 子姜雞翼
This is served pipping hot with just a tad of spiciness from the ginger which goes perfectly with the sweetness of the sauce.
The skin of the chicken wings is seared to a crispy finish and glazed with the thick sweet sugar sauce
Verdict :
♥ this place, Chinese Comfort food at it's best.
I always buy their Flower Chestnut Jelly 桂花馬蹄膏 home which is super refreshing and not too sweet.
Ok wow. With all the burgers I've had today, I'm craving everything on this post! Nothing beats Chinese food at the end of the day...warms the heart :)
