May wah inn

I remember the first time I ever had dim sum. it was at may wah inn with my very best friend janina. I remember the ladies coming  by with good on the carts, and the excitement of my friend choosing baskets if good for us to try.   The excitement was exhilarating.

Since it had been years since I had dim sum, my good turns brad and I decided we should a classic dim sum lunch.
We went to may wah inn , Windsor Ontario and asked for their dim sum lunch.,it was too late for Carr service but we were able to order off the menu.
There was so much to choose from but we chose a bit of everything. 


Dumplings and rice rolls were delicious. I ordered a rice with spare ribs that was a generous  portion. The sticky rice that I remember loving , still tasted as delicious as I remember . 
 Plate by plate we ate, until we could no longer stuff out faces. We asked for the leftovers to be packaged and payed our bill, ( which was 40$ after taxes, drinks, & tip)  and left the restaurant with a full feeling in our bellies :)  

Teriyaki experience

I was searching through the Yorkdale mall in Toronto ad could NOT for the life of me find anywhere to eat lunch. Thankfully my father asked a clerk for assistance and we were directed to the escalators that bring you to the third floor. 
As you go up the escalator you start smelling delicious foods! There was a sushi place, Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean; as well as the usual Burger and sub joints. 
We settled on a line that was not too long and had out lunch from 'teriyaki experience.'
I ordered a spicy beef udon noodle soup bowl, and my father followed suit.


The bowl of soup was enormous especially for 'food court' dining. We both added some extra teriyaki sauce as well as hot sauce. The broth was flavorful and had us both in a good sweat by the end. The meat was thin, tender, and extremely delicious. 
The bill came to $16 which wasnt too bad for fancy mall food. It was extremely filling and we would definitely have the soup again!

Gamjatang!!


I finally made my way over to the Younge&Finch location of Nak Won. I had read plenty of reviews and knew that their pork bone soup had received great reviews. My banchan came and we were treated to several!  The potatoes were my favorite and were covered in a spicy honey sauce. My initial reaction was HOLY! I had so many pork bones in my soup, I even shared with my boyfriend. The meat fell off the bones and was so flavorful. I could not get enough of the broth it was garlicky , peppery, and pungent. After drink, taxes & tip out bill was only $20!! Gotta love cheap eats; I will definitely be going back!!
