Jake Perry Posted July 28, 2006 at 06:51 AM Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 at 06:51 AM i live in Toronto, and most of the chinese that settled here early on and built the old chinatowns are from Hongkong, so it's super easy to find Cantonese restaurants. lately the shift is to people from the northern capitol coming to office jobs so it is difficult to find Běijīng cuisine without going to someone's house. does anybody know any good Běijīng style restaurants in Toronto? for the record, Spicy Mama isn't Běijīng style but the food is great!

WilsonFong Posted July 29, 2006 at 12:22 PM Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 at 12:22 PM There's Chinese Traditional Buns on Dundas West close to Kensington and Asian Legend on Dundas West close to Bevereley. I've read good reviews for those restaurants but I haven't eaten there before. I've been meaning to check them out, but now I'm on the other side of the world. Have you tried the Markham / Agincourt area? I don't know about Norhern cuisine but I think the best Chinese restaurants are there. most of the chinese that settled here early on and built the old chinatowns are from Hongkong *sigh*...looks like my Taishan awareness program on this forum isn't going very well. http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/9521-a-brief-intro-on-taishanese-%e5%8f%b0%e5%b1%b1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Perry Posted August 10, 2006 at 04:06 PM Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 at 04:06 PM Thanks for the suggestions! Traditional Chinese Buns was Běijīng style only the food was not great. There are street vendors in Běijīng who make better except each street vendor only makes one dish. Asian legend is tài guì le will wait for a special dinner. Spicy Mama is in Markham but they aren't Běijīng style. my apologies for over-generalizing the peoples of the Pearl River Delta. the two old chinatowns in Toronto both look and sound Cantonese...

I've been afraid to try the offerings from street vendors. They look and smell delicious though. Does it cause digestive problems for foreigners (read: Western immune systems)? Shall I indulge next time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall I indulge next time? eat from places with lots of people... better turnover rate...fresher ingredients wash peaches really really well... they soak up alot of pesticides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
