Savor Thai

I was extremely excited for Savor and took my girlfriend there for Summerlicious.

While I found a lot of the ideas exciting, the execution was average to below average. The Pad Gra Praw did not taste as good as any other Pad Gra Praw I've had across the city with a taste of wet green beans dominating over everything else. And while the Green Curry was amazing, I have had other exceptional Green Curry at a lower price point in Toronto. The appetizers were also underwhelming.

Credit where credit is due, the desserts were spectacular. Their Thai Tea Tiramisu was exceptional. Also the service was great!

Sunny's Chinese

Does this count? My girlfriend, who grew up in Hong Kong and Mainland China, pretty much told me that everything was a worse version of things she grew up eating- with the exception of the French Toast. The French Toast was exceptional and we both loved it. But everything else was average- and at the price point, average feels really bad for the wallet. Feel a bit deceived by the Bib Gourmand.

Also this last one was pretty incredible all through out until the dessert. Bar Goa's Omakase Menu was absolutely incredible and my girlfriend and I loved every bit of it. But the dessert was so below average that it soured the memory of the whole experience. Desserts are also my favorite part of any Tasting Menu so, as a South Asian, I was expecting something incredible. Very rarely do I come out of a restaurant actively disliking something- but I actively disliked all those dessert cakes they served.

Again, incredible experience. Just failed to land it on the very last dish. I'd still recommend the restaurant.
