The four fresh fried bao with shrimp and pork ($10.99) was stuffed with chives, scrambled egg, pork, and a full shrimp, all encapsulated into a thin lightly pan-fried wrapper. The dough to filling ratio was great with the palm-sized baos only having a thin layer of bun that's elastic enough to withstand being poked and prodded. Yet, it desperately needed more salt and more cooking time in the pan to really give it a crisp exterior. Similarly, the rocket leaves mung bean soup noodle ($8.99) was very bland. Such a shame as I rather enjoyed the mixture of vegetables contained in the thick broth. The lack of seasoning could easily be rectified if Bao & Broth just left some salt and soy sauce at the table. I'd also urge the chef to cook the noodles less as I found the ones in the mung bean soup too soft. Meanwhile, the pasta was perfectly cooked in the Henan braised noodles with pork and veggies ($13.99), wonderfully chewy and having an aromatic wok hay. Unlike the other two dishes, the scallion soy sauce added much needed flavour and even the pork belly slices were previously braised before being stir fried then steamed. Bao & Broth dining room is small so you may want to go during off hours to avoid waiting. Even during our Tuesday lunch visit, the restaurant was 80% filled before noon.

A hidden gem for sure! I've always walked past this place but decided to try because was one of a few restaurants open early. A small restaurant that sits 7 tables it is family run assuming. The dumplings and baos are sooooo good. The buns are huge and so soft. This place is reasonably priced as well with 3 dishes coming in at under 40$ after tip. Definitely get the pan fried dumplings. Perfectly crispy imo.

Chi Cha San Chen ( 吃茶三千 ) is a world renowned bubble tea shop…read more From California to New York to Taipei to Toronto, this shop's unique tea has proven itself to be top notch in the culinary world. Moreover they have been winning international taste awards for their outstanding products. I tried a milk based tea made with their famous the Dong Ding Oolong tea (凍頂烏龍). Dong-Ding Oolong Tea with Fresh milk was smooth tasting, sweet and creamy. Delicious. Whereas the Formosa Fruit Tea (寶島經典水果茶) was a black tea base packed with teeny pineapple bits, a bit of passion fruit seeds, paper thin slices of apples and citrus. Their offerings are plentiful, with both classic or seasonal teas on their menu. Worth a visit.

Love Chisan San Chen and their other locations, so popping in here, I knew my drink would be…read moredelicious as well. But what blew me away was this locations interior. Immediately when I walked in I felt like I was in a cave. It was beautiful and cozy - just the way I like it. Service is always on point here, and their tea quality is always high. They steep their teas to order and with precision. Got their seasonal fruity tea and it was delicious. I usually opt for their signature milk tea but it was nice to switch it up to something refreshing and fruity once in a while. Check this location out, as it has a more magical touch than the others.

Their water chestnut & sugar cane milk tea with ice jelly is one of my favourite drinks ever! Very…read morerefreshing, creamy, and light. I love how Jo's cha has more unique flavours like bitter melon, tomato, and pumpkin. This plaza is full of bubble tea spots so it's great to see one doing something new :) No seating inside!

Tip: This place is on Fantuan…read more I felt bad for my Fantuan app. I hadn't exercised any purchase on it for months. I finally opened it up to browse deals on Saturday evening. I was in Scarborough. I felt like a drink. I saw that a regular phoenix oolong lemon tea was $3 off on Fantuan at Jo's Cha. Yes! I decided to upgrade to a large. I got this drink with less sugar and less ice, as I wasn't sure how tart the lemon part of this drink would be. I also added coconut jelly. The app said that it would take twenty minutes for my drink to be made. I arrived at this plaza at around 8 pm. It was busy around the eateries. Luckily, I found parking next to Jo's Cha. My drink was ready much sooner than anticipated. It took ten minutes. I got out of my vehicle and headed inside the store. I liked the cheerful mascot. There were a few people waiting for their orders. There isn't a dedicated place to pick up your order. I waited patiently at the order area. A nice man behind the counter said hi. I reciprocated and showed him my Fantuan order. He nodded. My drink was in front of both of us. He asked me if I needed a bag. I declined, as I was going to drink it as I drove home. I thanked him and headed to my car. This drink was so good. I love oolong tea. The less sugar was perfect because there were a lot of lemon wedges floating at the top of my drink. The coconut jelly was in cubes and not all that sweet. It was refreshing, cold, and exactly what I needed. This place is known for mixing veggies with fruit. I'll need to try it next time and see how I feel. I'm not big on bitter melon, so you won't see me with any drink with that veggie. I loved my first experience here. I'll be back! (347)
