Lunch today was at Shanghai Dim Sum at Richmond Hill, Toronto. It's known as 城隍廟小吃 or City God Temple Eatery in Chinese, referring to the famous landmark in old Shanghai, China.
Continuing my gamjatang or Korean pork bone soup journey, I popped in at Little Piggy's at the edge of Koreatown at 469 Bloor Street West, Toronto.
I've been binging on gamjatang since discovering this homely Korean staple pork bone dish. Yeah, I came very late to the Korean party 😂 My ramen epiphany was in New York City and now in Toronto, it is Korean food.
Funny, I don't find gamjatang or pork bone soup mentioned in Top 10 Best Korean food listicles but practically all Korean eateries in Toronto's Koreatown have it on their menu. Torontonians love it for lunch, dinner and for nursing hangovers 😃
Korean Canadian friends recommended this little hole-in-the-wall, auntie 아주머니 run shop for homely Korean comfort food. When we failed to snag a table yesterday at Sunrise House due to a continuously full house in the tiny shop, I was determined to come back again. Soon.
Went to explore downtown Toronto's Korea Town today. The Korean enclave stretches along Bloor Street West roughly between Grace Street and Bathurst Street.
Peameal bacon sandwich is one of Toronto's signature food which visitors Must Try.
Jerk chicken is a Jamaican staple that has been fully embraced by Torontonians (in Canada). This Jamaican comfort food is found everywhere in Toronto at food courts, kiosks, cafeterias and restaurants.
AGO or Art Gallery of Ontario located right at the edge of Toronto's Old Chinatown is a Must Visit for art lovers. AGO is the home of over 80,000 art pieces from Renaissance Europe to modern day Canada.
I know very well that I shouldn't be eating anymore of these 😱 But, coming from the land of skinny ducks (Malaysia, Singapore), I just couldn't resist and couldn't stop till I have tasted as much of Toronto's fat roast ducks as possible 😂
So, I came to House of Gourmet 满庭芳 on Dundas Street West twice to spread out the cholesterol. Hope As if that helps 😂
The Old Spaghetti Factory in Toronto at The Esplanade is a family type restaurant that will please the kids and still fill some adults like me with awe, wonder and happiness.
