Food Review: Congee Delight

Uptown in the plaza on the corner of Finch Avenue and Don Mills (north east corner), there is a fairly new Cantonese restaurant that has the same taste as the popular Congee Wong (Leslie/Finch), Congee Queen (Steeles/404) and Congee Time (Yonge/Cummer). This place, just like the others is called Congee Delight.

Are you confused yet? =0)

With an open menu right at the door, it invites those who are skeptical and gives outsiders a chance to try and see.

We arrived before noon and the place was still untouched (photo bottom left).

Around 12:30pm, the place was completely full at every table (photo above, right).

So... what's for lunch?

A lot of choices: rice, rice noodles, snacks, congee, soups and so on.

Fried turnip ($5.50, photo above)

Stir fried flat noodles (photo above)

Snack: Fishball wrapped inside fried dough with sweet & spicy sauce (photo above)

The first 2 dishes are a definite staple in my chinese food diet and the last dish was something I never had before. The noodles were the made to perfection. It wasn't overly spicy nor was it bland. The noodles were soft to chew and the meat was well-seasoned. 

The fried turnips were more on the spicy side, which I enjoyed. If you're hesitant to try, it helps to know that the Chinese make a mean fried turnip that makes you feel like you're eating something other than a vegetable.  

Without a doubt, I would come back. With a good location (in a plaza), affordable prices and most importantly very tasty food, I need to tell you to go and try this place.

I give it 4/5 stars
