The Best Chinese Restaurants in Toronto
The best Chinese restaurants in Toronto tend to be found on Dundas, Spadina or north of the 401. In fact, it has become conventional wisdom that to get the best szechuan, cantonese or other variation of chinese food in the city a trip to Markham or Thornhill is all but essential.

Centering at the Chinese Buffet
Certain things that are ubiquitous and irritating in most settings can become very pleasant in a small town. I think our Chinese Buffet is one of those things.It's next to the farm supply store. The people who work there are Cantonese speakers, though once in a while I hear a little Mandarin when conversations are businesslike. I don`t understand either language- I can just hear a difference. The restaurant is small, and only busy right at noon and at dinner time. The rest of the time it is an unstylish oasis, always a little bit too warm from the steam tables, with the television running closed caption news in the overhead corner, and the electric picture of the Great Wall with twinkling lights that change colors.
I especially like the electric picture. It reminds me of the Miller High Life sign with its colored bubbles that hung in the bar of my grandmother's diner. I was never allowed to go into the bar. If I wanted a soda, I had to wait in the kitchen door for my uncle to get it from the cooler and bring it to me. So I feel priviledged and grown up when I have the chance to sit down in a place that has a twinkling electric sign.
I abstain from meat, so I like ethnic restaurants, where someone will cook me something filling and completely seasoned that suits my observance. And, although I adore chocolate, I'm really not a sweets person. Lots of different fruits, cut in pieces, are definitely my idea of dessert. I can choose what I want, and no one makes fun - another subtle empowerment.
Centering and subtle empowerment were what I needed today. Yesterday I worked a crushing patient load at the Five Alarm Hospital. Recently, I was relieved to hear it isn't just us 50-somethings who feel like we've been beaten all over with a stick the next day. Usually, a hard sleep and an energy shot revive me, but I was still feeling good for nothing today at noon.
The Chinese Buffet was my chance to feel balanced, grown up, and well-provisioned again. LV

Possible sighting on the Cally Road, North London
This handsome fella lives at my local Chinese restaurant, My Kitchen on the Caledonian Road in North London. When I saw him through the window I thought that I was on to something, what with the golden coat and blue bib, but, alas, this chap is good few pounds heavier than Jim's lucky cat. The search continues....
REVIEW: Ming Court at the Vineyard
I was so caught up in the rain and the accordions and accordions in the rain yesterday that I completely forgot I had a horrible eating experience.
Finding ourselves on the edge of Stone Oak, we happen upon Ming Court. My friends like Chinese food and you all know that I am very wary of Chinese food in San Antonio as it all has been very Americanized. We enter and they take our drink orders and say "help yourself to the buffet". Oh no---I loathe Chinese buffets. I had been duped. Started out with pot stickers; cold. Corn nuggets; cold. Wings: cold. I was not off to a good start and you get where I am going with this post.The only items I actually enjoyed were the lettuce wraps and won ton soup. Everything else was either cold or just not tasty at all. Dessert was a complete failure. We were all pretty embarrassed as to the quality of the food in that buffet. We all left hungry. Now you can see why I was able to pig out at the International Accordion Festival a mere hour later..5 Stars out of 5 <---yes that's a Point Five. Half a point.
The Old Beijing Roommates
Extraordinary talents, these two.
One, last I heard, was racing planes in Reno.
The other just launched a totally awesome iPhone app. It features a panda in a bib. And makes it possible for anyone, regardless of language skills, to navigate Chinese menus and restaurant interactions like a pro. Here's a song one of them recorded a few months ago. Anyone want to guess which one?

Cute Japanese Handmade Cabochons - 3 Kinds Of Food
These are soooo amazing. These are hand made (not by me) and the details are amazing!! You get a plate of "halu maki" (spring rolls), "takenoko no mizuni " (bamboo shoot boiled plain) and "miso butta itame" (sauted pork with miso and vegetables).
They measure about 2.5 cm wide. You get the 3 in the picture. These are good for making handmade jewelry, accessory, strap, key holder and etc.
"That menu. Good God, look at that menu!"

Din Tai Fung is awesome for dainty little delicacies of a Chinese sort.
Food, that is.
Now, if only someone could tell me how to pronounce that name.
A good meal for 2 under P500! Coral Garden!

Sunday afternoon, Me and the group were supposed to do our TV commercial shoot. We had food, water, other beverages, the crew...but alas, we didn't have all the elements in place. So, our director, Direk Edong, herded us all up, said a few words and called for a pack up.Due to the disappointing turn of events, I needed good comfort food to salvage what was left of my day. Me and my foodie buddy Toni were on the road, it was about time for dinner, and we were thinking of a restaurant to wash our worries away...and then it came to me, my mouth started to water at the mere mention of the name...CORAL GARDEN! So off to Libis we went!
CORAL SOUP, P50 per cupWe ordered the Coral Soup to start. It is a hot and sour soup with egg, tofu, vegetables, and mushrooms. And in true Chinese restaurant style service, the soup came in less than 10 minutes. And the cups were empty in less than that.
CORAL FRIED RICE, P50 per cupFor our main course, we ordered a cup of Coral Fried Rice each and the Coral Chicken. Coral Fried Rice is basically Yang Chow Fried Rice with the addition of Chorizo! Coral Chicken is fried chicken with vegetables swimming in a savory brown gravy.
CORAL FRIED CHICKEN, 1/2 portion, P260The fried rice is a great combination with the tender chicken and the deliciously savory gravy. The chorizo with the fried rice gives a nice sweet surprise to each spoonful you take in.
