In the few months I have had the opportunity to eat at some of the finest restaurants in Toronto, Boca Raton, Montreal and Miami. I could just put a list and be done with it, but thats not really what todays rant is about. And believe me its a rant.
Yesterday I went for Dim sum at a restaurant in Markham. For you Floridians that's a suburb on the outskirts of Toronto just a bit north. Markham is know for being mainly populated by people of Chinese decent.
There are 2 things that piss me off. One, if a place is absolutely amazing then after a year or two it starts to cut corners and become shit. Two, that because people still think its the place to go - they continue go even though its obvious the owners don't care. The food took forever, over cooked, service sucked, they reduced the menu so that they could serve more people but left only mainstream items like "Har Gow" but no curry squid.
The restaurant last year was the coolest. 50 Flat screen tvs, a Huge round tv in the middle. I cant explain this as a tv, more like the jumbo tron but like the old scoreboard at Maple Leaf Gardens.
Side note: I couldnt stop laughing at the gangsta rap videos - they were these skinny little chinese dudes dressed as Rapper singing in high pitched voices in Mardarin or Cantonese. Girls on the cars moving their booties.
Anyhow, I went there yesterday and was completely disappointed.
