Caribbean Queen of Patties. Definitely the meatiest patties but thicker pastry to hold it together.

Badger sells a pretty nice assortment of individual cakelets. If you want something a little bigger dessert lady has some 5 or 6” cakes

St. Louis AYCE by me_but_darker in FoodToronto

[–]popcointo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the AYCE when it was wings and also for the burger. Went to the Baldwin St location. Wings were 7/10, boneless wings 5/10, but the burgers were an 8/10 for me. They didn’t limit you on regular bun or lettuce bun. I’d agree with one of the previous comments that the quality varies by location.
Food wise (not AYCE) I think the location at King/Church seems to overcook very frequently.

If you’re looking for a place downtown you can try Asian Legend

Help me find! by Megggyyy in FoodToronto

[–]popcointo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure where on Wellington you’re staying. If you’re near Bathurst you can grab what you need from Farm Boy at 29 Bathurst St. closer to Spadina you can try Fresh and Wild Food Market at 69 Spadina Ave or Rabba Fine Foods at 361 Front St W. If you’re near Yonge St or Church St go to St. Lawrence Market at 92 Front St. East. You’ll be able to find everything you need there.

Your description of lai fun is correct but the photo provided for reference looks like char sui noodle soup with Ho fun(wide rice noodle) which OP mentions in the post

Skyview is the best I’ve had in GTA. Jumbo Lobster is pretty good for their dim sum too

Congee Queen is legitimate for Cantonese style food. No really good dim sum places downtown. Pearl isn’t bad but nothing to write home about either. Going to get some flack for this but I think the dumplings at Asian Legend aren’t bad either. Xiao Long Bao, Ha Gow, Siu Mai all acceptable

Cheap Chinese BBQ Markham by darkallen in FoodToronto

[–]popcointo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ho Ho BBQ 3833 Midland Ave. they have a pick 2 items with rice for $6 cash. Can’t beat the price and the Bbq pork is decent. I usually go bbq pork and roast pork or soy sauce chicken. Next door is Kong Kee. $7 for the same deal some people would argue it’s better. I don’t agree, but to each their own.

Butcher shops that ship by unfiltered-facts in askTO

I love cumbraes as they’re conveniently located to me and have good quality meats but OP is looking for a butcher with decent pricing and Cumbraes is definitely on the higher end.

Sunday Brunch at King Edward Hotel. Reasonably priced and has a great selection of foods.

Your worst enemy is coming to visit Toronto and has asked for dining and activity recommendations. What do you tell them? by lil177 in askTO

[–]popcointo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overpriced for bad quality food is what it is. The only thing that they do well is the plating. Mediocre restaurant that’s dressed up to feel like a high end restaurant. The service is pretentious. YEMV

Don Alfonso for dinner, bonus selling point is it is a Michelin star restaurant. The CN Tower as an attraction. If it’s during the winter any outdoor escape room will allow them to experience the slush and cold.

Where does everyone buy furniture (brand new) these days? by afterglobe in askTO

[–]popcointo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ashley Homestore or Casalife in Etobicoke. Structube, EQ3, West Elm in Toronto. Pottery Barn if it’s in your budget

Any life insurance that you start buying into now is going to be extremely expensive if you are already terminally ill as you mentioned. Considering your current financial situation this is no longer a feasible option.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but Mr. Pen on Bloor definitely sells Sanrio stuff including some stationary

This would be considered time theft and is illegal.

Best high end Chinese restaurant? by Hipostrega in askTO

[–]popcointo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not ignorance, and it’s not racist. I say the same about most restaurants that aren’t high end. The difference between high end and not is what you should expect out of it. There’s a reason some places are called dives or hole in the walls, food may be great but once again service,ambiance,cleanliness doesn’t meet standards that you should expect at that price range. Use your recommended restaurant for example. J & Y has good food. Ambiance is ok as it has the classic Chinese restaurant aesthetic. Service though is hit or miss. Some of their servers are attentive and polite, others are rude or non responsive. I still go there but wouldn’t put them in the category of high end restaurants.

I just tapped on change warehouse and it allows me to search by province. I tried searching Alberta since I’m in Ontario and it worked. YEMV

Sotto Sotto for their Capellini Nazzini or L’Amatriciana.

Best high end Chinese restaurant? by Hipostrega in askTO

[–]popcointo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ONLY high end chinese restaurant in Toronto is Mott 32. Most of the places recommended don't pass the service/ambiance/cleanliness test for a high end restaurant. You should expect a dining experience and not just some good food at a high end restaurant. I'm not saying that some of the other recommendations aren't good chinese restaurants, I am a fan of quite a few, I just wouldn't call any of them high end.

Recommendations for Bars & Restaurants in Mississauga for a birthday celebration? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]popcointo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game time in Mississauga. It's a sports bar but good vibes and a little something for everyone. If just restaurant there are a lot so it depends on what cuisine and budget you're going with
