Fortunately, my food experience got better and better day after day. I had the best Cantonese food at a restaurant called J-Garden. It was so good that I went back three times. Here are some pictures I took. Didn't take one for ever single dish that I had.
Appetitizer - cherry tomatoes: the cherry tomatoes were refrigerated beforehand. They were cold but not too cold with a mixed sweet and sour taste. One of the must order dishes
Stir fried green beans with minced pork - nothing special
Pumpkin egg soup - a creamy soup with a mix of sweetness and saltines. Absolutely delicious!
Steamed fish. The fish was very expensive. This little bowl cost about $20CAD. I can't remember the name of the fish. It was probably leopard coral grouper. The fish tasted pretty bland. People pay for the nutritional value of the dish not much for the taste.
Scrambled eggs with cilantro, green onions and the juice from the steamed fish
Steamed egg tofu with pork, cilantro and green onions - not a big fan of this dish. It was bland to me.
Sweet orange flavored spareribs - very tasty!
Baked sesame seed coated cake stuffed with ham and green onions - another signature dim sum dish
I also visited a popular hot pot restaurant called Wu Lao Guo. Guo means pot. It's a Japanese style hot pot. I guess the major difference between a Chines one and a Japanese one is the soup base. One of their signature dish is ice cream tofu. I never had or even heard of ice cream tofu. It was invented by the Japanese a few hundred years ago. Apparently it's mashed tofu mixed with cream and sugar and then being refrigerated.
Tea
Soup to pour into the hot pot
The famous ice cream tofu - didn't taste that special to me
Veggies and meat I ordered
Top row, left to right - sauce dish for dipping cooked food, fish dumplings, fish ball and Chinese donuts
Beef
Some special cooked pork - you can eat it just as it is or cook it in the hot pot. This dish was highly recommend by the server saying the pork was braised for long hours with some special sauce. Personally I think it's a rip-off. Overpriced, mediocre taste with a great presentation. But we are talking about food here, not some decoration to buy for home.
A close shot of the pork. See, nothing special.
