Ten Ren's Tea

October 28, 2017

I wasn't feeling very well, but my friends wanted to go for bubbletea, so I got this instead:

Ginseng Chicken Soup

It wasn't quite like the Korean version with chicken stuffed with ginseng and rice. However, it was very tasty and it's nice that they serve it here at Ten Ren's.

 Taro Coconut Slush $7.29

Taro and coconut milk tea with grass jelly and soft-serve green tea ice cream. It was really good! I usually don't like green tea ice cream or grass jelly and I loved this! The taro coconut slush was really good, but the jelly texture and ice cream made it really interesting.

Loui's Kouzina

For me, Markham is usually a haven for Asian food - not really Greek. However, my friends recommended this place in a strip mall in Markham. 

Greek Fries $6.56

I'm not sure if you put feta cheese and drizzle some olive oil if this could be considered a dish worth about $7. I was pretty disappointed. 

Small Chicken Souvlaki plate $12.45

The small plate was pretty big with two skewers of chicken souvlaki which was really tender and juicy. The salad and rice also took up substantial room on the plate. 

Overall: Decent Greek food at Loui's Kouzina, but definitely on the pricier side.

B.Good

My friend suggested this healthy spot at King and Yonge for lunch. There were some really good salad options, but I wasn't sure if they were going to be filling. Turns out that their plates are pretty huge! 

Mediterranean chicken $13.99

This was a great salad! Lots of chicken, cheese, fresh veggies and some green beans (which were novel and delicious). 

The service was a little crazy today since their computer system died and they had to manually do orders. However, they really didn't seem like they had their stuff together, especially since the lineup was so long.

Pho Hung

My friend and I were going to a Raptors game and went to Pho Hung to grab a quick dinner.

Beef nướng and Pork nướng

I really wanted a Vietnamese spring roll since I haven't had one in so long! Plus Vietnamese spring rolls are the best! Crispy crust, yummy filling and it works so well with the cold noodles, grilled pork, pickled carrots and radishes, cool cucumbers and delicious fish sauce! Yummy! I liked the pork more than the beef (especially in Vietnamese cooking).

High Street Fish & Chips

High Street Fish and Chips was profiled on BlogTo as one of the top fish and chip places in Toronto. I was craving fish and chips since Friday, so I decided to try it out. 

Bread, Coleslaw and Tea

Lunch specials $10.95: minced steak pie and halibut and chips and coleslaw

The minced steak pie was okay. The fish and chips were really good - crispy and crunchy on the outside. I liked the thick cut fries too. 

Overall: Good fish and chips at High Street and nice friendly service.

Via Cibo

Small Cesare salad

Pancetta with caesar salad - pretty good! 

Prosciutto E Arugula pizza

I like the balsamic drizzle on the pizza! It was a nice touch to tie it all together. 

Chicken Parmigiana

That was a huge piece of chicken covered and baked with cheese with more sauce and cheese on top. The pasta on the side was okay, but I wish there was more sauce since it tasted dry without it. 

Overall: Interesting quick service meal concept at Via Cibo - you order at the counter and someone delivers your food which is rather different than other Italian restaurants.
