Stop #30: Toronto, Canada

Black Camel
This place was a hole in the wall but offered great sandwiches. I wished I tasted the sandwich fresh, but I had to take it to go. It was still good but I probably missed out on the perfectly warm bun and juicy beef brisket. 

Pulled pork shoulder.

Pulled roasted chicken.

Crown Princess Fine Dining
This place was hyped up. Food was good but not the best dim sum I had ever had. I wasn't sure if it was worth the price tag either. I supposed the food presentation and preparation were delicate. 

BBQ pork pastries; Beef and spinach noodle rolls.

The pumpkin and corn congee was a highlight. Sticky rice was mediocre.

Shrimp and chieve dumplings.

Sui mai (pork dumplings); Beef balls.

My first encounter with BBQ eel in flaky pastry and it was delicious.

The trio of sesame balls for dessert was unique and tasty.
