“We searched around a little bit in the downtown Toronto Chinatown for dim sum places last night to no avail, and then my wife’s coworkers and friends sent some places further out in the Scarborough and Markham suburbs to check out today.After eating a bit at Ding Tai Fung in Scarborough, not realizing until we were already seated that it wasn’t what most would consider traditional dim sum, we made our way to Markham to try out New Century Restaurant.It did not disappoint. This was a whole other level of dim sum than what we were used to in New York. Even compared to the places in Flushing and Brooklyn, this was markedly better.We tried many of the staples — har gow, beef wrap, shu mai, chicken feet, some sort of tofu skin wrapped thing LOL, and buns with salted yolk egg cream inside — and they were all awesome.I particularly loved my staple trio of har gow, beef wrap, and shui mai. All were massive and much more substantial than anything we’d get in any New York dim sum place. The har gow and shui mai were absolutely LOADED with shrimp. The har gow came with a fifth smaller one with roe on top and folded in a slightly different way for presentational purposes. The beef wrap actually had greens wrapped in with the beef for a nice change in texture and flavor.Overall just a wonderful dim sum here in the Toronto area. Definitely recommended if you ever come by this way!!“

“❤️Red list❤️Taste: ?????Environment: ?????Price: ?????The two of us ordered two breakfast specials (the price may be wrong, I forgot to take a photo of the menu?)1. Pork liver porridge + fried dough sticks $7.52. Preserved egg and lean meat porridge + beef rice roll $9.993. Hong Kong style milk tea?Pork liver porridge: very delicious! The pork liver is crispy and chewy. The bottom of the porridge has the aroma of pork liver and is not greasy. Brother Bao has been a chef and praised the quality of this porridge. He said that this porridge is a test of the chef's skills. Sure enough, he knows how to order it.?You Tiao: Between the old street fried dough sticks and Anxin You Tiao, delicious Hong Kong-style milk tea: silky and delicious, you need to add sugar yourself?Beef rice rolls: delicious and plentiful. The beef is tender beef that has been marinated. It has a tender texture and you can taste the slight meat fiber. Some restaurants serve battered beef, but I think both are delicious. Personally, I prefer rice rolls + battered beef, because both are soft and go well together.?Preserved egg and lean meat porridge: Because there is pork liver porridge in front, the preserved egg and lean meat porridge seems relatively mediocre. Because the porridge itself has no taste.Pork liver porridge is really delicious ?The taste bud police certified by the world of mouth-diao!“
“Very good food with relatively low price as compared to other place. They provide not a lot of choice but good enough to serve customers. Especially like their breakfast and their rice combination with 2 meat/fish. One little drawback for steak is that some times, it is so hard to chew and not cooked well enough so that we see blood come out.“
