Not sure if I have been here before but I remembered buying bak kwa from a stall in Richmond many…read moreyears ago and wasn't impressed. I noticed the sign proclaiming it's Singapore jerky and I bought some to try. You could get a slice or more. I was given a pre-packed sealed package of 1/2 lb pork jerky (bak kwa) automatically when I said I wanted pork jerky. Be sure to say if you just want one slice. I saw the customer ahead of me getting that. There are also beef and chicken and salmon jerky. If you are really looking for those bak kwa from Singapore, this place is not really it. BKH at Fraser and Kingsway has a much closer taste. The spice used in this version is unlike any in Singapore. So the taste is already wrong. It has a very strong cumin or clove taste. Those spices are rarely used in the Chinese food in Singapore. Texture wise, it is a bit similar but still not really the same. At least it is soft. If you have never tried the bak kwa in Singapore before, then this place is excellent. So manage your expectation and you won't be disappointed.

I bought into the social media hype and regret it a bit lol. The seafood platter looked grand and good, but because it was cooked in flavorless broth, it was just disappointing. The congee that they make it with the leftover broth at the end was the only saving grace in terms of flavor. Oh, and the black sesame ice cream, but beyond that, this is a one time thing for me. Even in Canadian, the price didn't feel justified. If you still want to come here anyway, definitely try to make a reservation. We were lucky enough to be sat without a reservation for how large our party was. Service was good though, lol.

The crunchy coffee was my favourite. It is not that sweet, but it does have a good taste which is almost the same as the Blenz protein smoothie. The super acai is not sweet at all.

Aside from their smoothie bar they sells a variety of supplements, vitamins, and other healthy products, so, we took the opportunity to buy some organic honey, tea, Apple cider, Vinegar, and protein coffee.

The result was a creamy, nutty drink that was smooth and yummy! I love how it wasn't too thick and easy to drink I also really enjoyed the Crunchy Coffee which reminded me of an iced cap from Timmies. The Black Sesame drink on the other hand was a bit on the thicker side but it was absolutely packed with flavour! Note: you can choose between whey, vegan, or no protein for your drinks!

But one of the cons was finding parking which is a major deterent for us, unless we decide to head out first thing in the AM.

She boiled and pan fried 2/3 them, Gyoza style. By the time I came home, there were only 4pcs left. The kids devoured all but 4pcs. Proof is in the photo. Well, at least they left me some. The dumplings/Gyozas are very tasty and flavourful. The dough had that perfect chewyness. I think we have a new place for our Dim Sum supply needs. I can't wait to get more and try the other stuff.
