TORONTO'S NEW "IT" DIM SUM SPOT: CROWN PRINCESS FINE DINING


Goose Paste Shiu Mai
There's a new girl in town and you know she's good when my Parents say so.  Crown Princess Fine Dining only opened a couple weeks ago in Toronto, but easily it has become a threat to its competition as Downtown Toronto's finest Chinese Cuisine. Let me tell you it's frustrating living down here in a locale programmed to think that franchise Manchu Wok and the slightly more genuine Not Just Noodles (Bay x Wellesley) are actually real Chinese Food.   Sure they're tasty, but I'm talking about stuff Chinese people actually eat with their families. It seems all the wonderful Chinese restaurants in Greater Toronto are out in the forest, north of Steeles Ave. - 45 minutes outside the City by subway - where Hong Kong, China and Taiwan's immigrants have set-up their Tents.

No offense to the excellence of sisters Lai Wah Heen (Metropolitan Hotel) and Lai Toh Heen (Davisville x Mount Pleasant) and Dynasty in Yorkville as they are wonderful.  But with the latter rumoured to be closing soon due to its lease expiry, where else are Celebrities like David Schwimmer and Jackie Chan to get their Dim Sum fixes when in town?
