I am uttery confused.
First off, when you venture into one of these diners (Chinese Canadian food), there's a rule. That rule is, they're run by first generation Cantonese dialect speakers that no other standard Canto speakers can understand. Well, half of my statement was correct. I, indeed could not understand what they were saying, but it wasn't a Cantonese dialect. It was Mandarin. Huh??????
Since when did this happen?
Not only that, there was lamb on the menu. Mind you, it was written in Chinese, so I'm wondering, who's their target customer base?? Lamb is not a very common Cantonese staple. It's there but not common. Were they expecting Mainland Chinese from the Xinjiang areas to be eating here? Well they're missing cumin then. I dunno. I'm making wild guesses. Doubtful any traditional Canto eaters would be coming here, so I wonder why they have lamb on the menu. We were the only Asians in a Chinese Canadian joint run by Asians.
You'll notice that there's also Japanese food on the menu. Not only that, there's a Japanese curry pork cutlet on rice offered - but it's written in Chinese with no English translation. *** Face Palm***
I ate the Western food. There was no Chinese translation. What happened there? It was pretty decent. I knew what I was getting so I can't really bash it. It is what it is.
It's a diner.
A greasy spoon diner.
But what I ate, it wasn't greasy. Not sure what happened there either. It was missing flavour. The flavour of vitamin G.
I really wonder how many people that have come here have ordered the curry lamb on rice or the Japanese curry pork cutlet on rice. Only the Chinese readers would have ordered it. My wild guess is, they don't get very many.
Family run and they're very friendly.
