Wednesdays in Scarborough has quickly become our favorite day of the week. This is due, in large part, to visiting places like Mama’s Boys Burgers. We just love family-run holes-in-the-wall where you can get #lunchunder10bucks with ease. This is that kinda place. This is our kinda place. A Scarborough institution for the past decade, Mama…
Taste of T&T ~ 145 Kingston Road East, Ajax ~ (905) 426-3352
One of our New Year’s resolutions is to focus more on the positive. So if there’s any silver lining to this whole COVID situation, 2020 did see a remarkable uptick in two of the Toronto Food Blog’s favourite things: playing golf and eating take out.

Kim Kim Restaurant is a family-run Hakka joint in Scarborough trying to keep things afloat with elevated takeout & delivery offerings. I’m told their family recipes originated wayback in Meizjou, China, perfected here in the GTA b/w/o Kolkata, India. They boast quite a large menu of Hakka classics plus some harder-to-find specialties, making this one…
Bach Yen ~ 738 Gerrard St E ~ (647) 347-8160
Working in East Chinatown for the past ten years, feel like I’ve tried most of the restaurants in the ‘hood. There’s this one spot a little further east that’s always eluded me. Bach Yen (738 Gerrard St E) was put in my radar last week by Suresh Doss, and it’s a real winner. Have been…
