Culinary Observations From Our Trip 8/13

We went to Toronto this past weekend and these are my food highlights:

At night, we took a walk and stopped in this coffee shop and they were selling Hello Dolly Bars. If you saw my last post, you will notice they look nothing like the ones I made...

 

I live a pretty plain nothing out of the ordinary type of life so I have decided to become more adventurous. However, I have a lot of fears so after ruling out the CN Tower's Edgewalk, I decided to focus on food. My friend suggested that I go to Chinatown and order something mysterious. I was going to do that, but after a very long bus ride to the Toronto Zoo, I decided to stop in Scarborough's version of Chinatown. This was an Asian and Malaysian restaurant.

My appetizer was the Poh Pia which was a crepe with mixed vegetables and egg. I didn't realize that it was a hard boiled egg so that was gross.


My entree was the sizzling sting ray. The pieces were deep fried and my first bite was into a huge bone. After I removed that, I realized that there were multiple little bones that I kept having to pull out. It was super annoying because there wasn't much meat...just really fatty pieces and bones. It definitely wasn't worth $16. Plus the service was awful...so overall the experience was a fail.
