Tip: The coco cups with fruit and chocolate are excellent…read more A Yelp experience back in February got me hooked on fruit offerings at Tanghulu. I returned last Wednesday for more. I had an early dinner at Sansotei Ramen, which is by mall entrance 9. It'll get you to Tanghulu. Alternatively, you can cut through Walmart's second floor to get to Tanghulu. I was fortunate to be the only customer at Tanghulu when I arrived. I ordered on the right and picked it up on the left. Tanghulu means that fresh fruit gets coated in melted candied sugar. On my first visit, I got the following fruit: - Mango - Green grape - Strawberry I also got a strawberry banana coco cup. I got the option to get milk chocolate or matcha white chocolate sauce. I went with the latter. I got a box with my tanghulu fruit on sticks. I liked that they had the fruit skewers ready in advance. It was cool watching the female staffer put together my banana strawberry coco cup. I saw her pour the matcha sauce over the fruit, which was oddly zen and satisfying. She asked if I wanted white or coloured sprinkles. I got the latter. The downside to this store is that there isn't any seating. I walked out and headed to a small area with seating in front of Peoples Jewellers. I nabbed the last free table with a lone chair. If you know me well, I love fruit. If I don't have any fruit, I feel as if something is off. I didn't know how I'd feel about the hard sugar glaze over the fruit. As someone who does low to no sugar in my drinks, I didn't know how sugary the tanghulu would be. I started with the mango tanghulu, which wasn't at its full ripeness. Hearing the crunch of the sugar glaze and then munching on it was unique. It was sweet, but it balanced out with the not completely ripe mango. It was fun. I had the grapes next. Each grape was plump and juicy. I started to get a bit tired of crunching on sugar glaze, so I took half of it off. It was perfect for someone like me who doesn't consume that much sugar these days. The strawberry tanghulu was also amazing. I love ripe strawberries. I did half of them with the sugar glaze and took some of it off to not bounce off the mall walls. I enjoyed the matcha coco cup with sliced strawberries and bananas. You can never go wrong with this fresh fruit combination. The natural sweetness of both fruit was perfect. I liked the matcha sauce. It was sweet, but not gross. The matcha balanced out the sweetness. It was excellent. Last Wednesday, I returned. I saw that it had a Dubai coco cup. Sign me up! I got strawberry and banana as my fruit. You can also go with strawberries. This cup comes with milk chocolate sauce. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. This place is super generous with fruit and chocolate sauce. My cup was so full that I had to take a sip of the chocolate sauce before heading over to the seating area by Peoples again. I love the coco cups here. The strawberry and banana slices were delicious with the milk chocolate. I loved the crispy bits in the Dubai pistachio filling. It worked so well with the chocolate and fruit. I thoroughly enjoyed my time consuming my coco cup. The Dubai coco cup is here for a limited time. I wish it were on the menu permanently because it's excellent. I need to return to get another one before it goes away. (134)

I ordered the beef tendon noodle soup, and was very satisfied. The beef chunks, although I wasnt given as much as the Waterloo location, was very tender and flavorful.

I never tried the one in Waterloo but my friend said she liked it. We ordered traditional noodles with noodles #5 and 6. 5 tasted slightly harder and 6 a little chewier.

Bonus that it's in a food court

It is a Japanese pork cutlet spot in Mississauga, and everything we ordered came out hot, crunchy, and very filling. The Brick Cheese Katsuya definitely stood out visually right away. The pork cutlet was wrapped with a generous amount of cheese, which made every bite extra rich and gooey. It was a little heavy after a while, but I think anyone who really loves cheese would enjoy it a lot. The Garlic Chili Katsuya was the one I personally found easier to keep eating. The pork itself was tender and flavorful, and the sauce paired with it really well. The roasted garlic slices added a nice touch too, even though a few pieces had that slightly bitter roasted edge. We also tried the chicken karaage thigh, and that was another strong dish. The chicken was fried beautifully, very fragrant, and still juicy inside, with a nice crisp coating that did not feel greasy. I liked that it came with potato chips on the side, which made it feel a little playful and extra snackable. Overall, Katsuya felt like a great place when you want something hearty and crispy with bold flavor. It is not the kind of meal I would call light, but it was definitely enjoyable and very satisfying.

We recently reminisced about going to Bao Sandwich Bar for lunch between interviews at the University of Waterloo. I had mentioned to him that it had a second location in Mississauga, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from our workplace. He said that when we were both in the office, he'd only want to go there for lunch with me. It's nice that he trusts my judgment when it comes to eateries. I also believe that he likes my company. A couple of Wednesdays ago, he asked what I was doing for lunch. I normally hit Treats nearby. He wasn't feeling it. I said that we could go here and provided some details, including its online menu and such. I also asked him if he had any meetings. I'm that type of a planner, down to the departure time. He was game. I said that we should leave at 11:15 am. The place opens at 11:30 am. He had a meeting at 1 pm. I wanted a leisurely, unrushed lunch. Done! I drove us over there. With my lead foot, it was more like thirteen minutes, without hitting any highway. Like the Bao place in Waterloo, this one is also located on a lower level of a plaza, with a tall building at the top of this hill. I parked in front of the eatery. We walked in. We were the first customers. It looks like the place kept some of the seating from the previous business that occupied the place. The upholstery looked shabby. Otherwise, the rest of the eatery was spruced up. I got a combo consisting of these items: - Crackle belly bao - Korean garlic chicken bao - Purple flower lemonade - Dynasty duck poutine My manager got the following items: - Dynasty duck bao - Thai yum pork bao - House salad - Thai tea I took a star away because I wasn't expecting my order to be $40! It was okay for the large portion of dynastic duck poutine that I got. It was rather steep. You won't see me eating here every day. I split the poutine with my manager, so it was okay. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. It didn't take long for our food to be ready. The woman who had taken our orders was nice to bring the food to our table. I have always loved the crackle belly bao. It was equally as delicious here as it was in Waterloo. The pork belly was tasty and perfectly seasoned. The bao was nice and malleable. The veggies provided a nice contrast. I loved it. I tried the Korean garlic chicken bao. It was heavenly. The sauce was spicy and garlicky. The chicken had a crispy exterior and was juicy inside. It's nice having another decent bao to call my favourite. The purple flower lemonade was delicious. I normally don't like sweet lemonade. This version had a touch of sweetness that I enjoyed. This drink's colour was also pretty to look at. My manager enjoyed his food. He oddly doesn't like green vegetables, so I saw him pick out the cilantro and green onions. He felt that the sauces were mixed up. His Thai yum pork bao wasn't spicy. The dynasty duck that he has had in the past was oddly spicy. We had a baseline of the dynasty duck poutine that wasn't spicy to compare. Even with the sauce mix-up, he still enjoyed everything. His side salad had a bit of a spice kick, so he was happy. I loved eating here. It was a nice, casual lunch with yummy food. I wish that it were cheaper. However, the quality was excellent that I'm okay shelling out for it as someone who likely won't be dropping by weekly. (67)

I love the concept of the place and am not sure I've ever seen this broad of an Asian fusion concept before. I decided on the mango chicken which was quite good; the chicken was lightly breaded and fried and still crispy in the sauce. The flavor was good; it's labeled as spicy but definitely wasn't. They do have chili sauce on the table though so easy to add more heat. Heads up that rice is not included and needs to be ordered as a side if you want it. Entrees came out within minutes of ordering and beat our spring rolls to the table by a fair amount of time. Service was good and we really appreciated that a staff member asked us if we wanted the shade next to our table pulled down so the sun wouldn't be in our faces.

I have been here before and have had the following cream buns: - Apple of my eye - Silky milk tea - Matcha I liked how the buns were packaged in little pentagon shapes. I remember inhaling mine because they were heavenly. The matcha one was delicious. I like a strong matcha taste, which it had. The cream wasn't sweet and the bun was soft. I liked how cold it was. The apple of my eye didn't have a strong apple flavour. There were a few apple bits (more like small particles that you could miss if you shoved the whole thing in your mouth), but it wasn't my favourite out of the bunch. The silky milk tea bun was so good. It was like having milk tea in a bun format, but without any toppings or a ton of sugar. We got a nice woman behind the counter. I recommended that my friend try the silky milk tea bun and matcha. She trusted me and got both. I took a look at the egg sandwich. It looked yummy. My friend got it. It was like she was getting every item that made me drool. There were also some puddings. She got caramel pudding that looked like a yummy custard in a cute little bottle. My friend paid with a debit card. Credit and debit cards are accepted. We headed over to a couple of comfy chairs nearby so I could finish my chimney treat from Eva's. She devoured her milk tea bun. She loved it. She thanked me for the recommendation. Looking back on our day together, I wish that I had bought some more buns from this place. I was too focused eating my ice cream cone. Next time!

One star for the convoluted business that it is…read more So I arrived at the restaurant to take my mom out for a fun night of Egyptian food, the restaurant occupied two commercial units thought its very unusual why they don't unify it was one unit. One side is for takeout but patrons are sitting there to dine in and the other side is for dine in, but the employees also do take out. Confusing YES. So I arrived in blindly following a line. I eventually tapped the person behind me, is this the line to get a table. He says no it's the line to order... okay. About 20min in the line I finally get the deal what everyone is doing, they order their seafood order at the front where the precious alive seafood is stored- it's like a pick what you eat counter. So I order their sangarita with a salad and yellow rice and a calamari with no sides (you save like $4 for just skipping that). After ordering she asked if I had a table?? I said no, then she comes out with seven yellow sticky notes and says there are 6 parties waiting for a table. I asked how long? Maybe 40min. She also advises me that i can put myself on the list for a table and she can hold my order up to 45min- they won't start cooking until you have a table. So I asked how long for takeout, she says 20min. Well I did my math, I waited 20min in line, and 20min for food that is not partially cooked so 40min, I can live with that. Watched the server rip the slip, and just fyi the fish was charged at $35/kg costing $60 and the calamari at 1lb was $22. She asked me to wait on the side, saw her put the slip with the raw fish and placed it ON THE FLOOR behind the counter. As I waited on the side I can see quite a number of orders piled in Rubbermaid containers on the floor. Behind the counter I can see the coats of the employees piled up next to what looks like to be the washed cutlery for table service and the employees use the same yellow rag to wipe every cutlery. I also saw employees clear the tables and return to prepare more cutlery- did they wash their hand in the kitchen??? I was then prompt to pay on their pay unit. It prompted me tip. SKIP tip for takeout. Then she tells me it's 2% charge if I pay credit card no charge for debit. So I pay debit. I waited patiently, I stood near the washroom and overheard how a male customer found a $100 bill in the washroom and handed it to the restaurant- they didn't even ask around if anyone dropped it. Then when I had waited 30min (10min past the estimated time, I asked for an update ). They assured me 10 more minutes. Then after 10min I asked again, they said 1min. And then they came out with my take out. The gave me a complimentary hummus for the slow service, but I don't think it made up for the undersized sides they served me. Just look at my pic and look at the website photo. Overall , if you have 2-3hours this is your place. THIS PLACE WAS ABSOLUTELY CHAOS! I'm questioning food stored on the floor even though it's in a Rubbermaid and then that bin placed back on the scale, touched by the gloved hands and potentially cross contaminating food. During the whole time I didn't see anyone clean or mop the floor- what if people are trekking sidewalk salt in the winter. I am really concerned. Eat dangerously here if you want. I do say the food was seasoned well but won't be returning.
