Chompin' The Suburbs

Preaching the gospel of Toronto's suburban resto scene. The digs ain't always fancy. Or easy to find. But your tongue will literally thank you for foregoing the pretentious, the boring and the overpriced places that dominate downtown. With more and more of the city's ethnic communities settling in the 'burbs, it just makes sense.

Wang's Kitchen (Chinese-Indian Fusion)

Meh. This was pretty decent Chinese food. But it didn't seem especially Indian.

The honey crisp lamb tasted very much like good General Tao's chicken (and not very much like lamb). The prawns Manchurian had a nice tanginess to them, but didn't really distinguish themselves from curried prawns at other Chinese joints. The Hakka noodles were fresh, but bland.

The one stand-out item was a house specialty appetizer - the chicken lollypops. The name alone made them worth ordering. Then these intriguing treats arrived - the meaty joints of chicken wings with the grisly end parts stripped away so they really did look like lollypops. The boney ends are ingeniously wrapped in foil to keep your fingers clean of the spicy Kung Pao-type sauce.

A fine Chinese meal, if you're in the 'hood, but not worth the trip to Mississauga.

Dinner for two $40 (before tip)
