Someone is bound to ask. Needless to say I was one of those people lol. Ever since then, I go to Marcy's to pick up skewers every BBQ chance I get. During peak BBQ season, you can call a day ahead to reserve and they will happily do that for you.

A lot more fresh and the service is warmer and friendlier. Maybe the season of Christmas is upon us! No? Too early? Bah, whateverrrr!!! And yess!! I'm addicted to their homemade vinegar which they sell at this joint, perfectly spiced with the right amount of sweetness and tang, perfect for your springrolls and other 'vinegar dipping worthy' eats at home.

This place is slightly hard to find. It's located in a dogey plaza in the east end of Markham. I…read moreonly found out of this place through a friend because she brought in some really tasty meats for our last BBQ. I don't think I would have ever stepped into this place otherwise. Once you enter in, someone greets you and asks you what you want. Everything is pre-bagged so you just tick off which meats you want and they pull it out of the tray or fridge for you. I ordered a bag of kalbi ribs, two bags of chicken thighs in different flavours. I don't find the kalbi really tasty for some reason. Maybe the marinade is too light but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the meat either. The chicken thighs on the other hand kicked it out of the ball park. The curry one is soooo juicy and delicious and I love the flavours. Prices are pretty good too. I can't remember exactly how much it was but I think the 3 bags were under $30 and they were more than enough to feed a family of 6.

Everything is marinated beforehand so this would be great if you planned a last minute bbq. I would get everything but the squid again. The squid didn't have any unique flavour to it and was quite bland in my opinion. If you get it I would recommend adding some sauce prior to putting it on the grill. As a side note, the shop's location has changed, which is shown on a notice at the door. They are located at another unit, called Ah Fong, in the same plaza. The plaza itself is super run down but don't judge a book by its cover - the meat here is amazing!

It is celebrated for its irresistible, crispy skin that shatters with a satisfying crunch, revealing the savory, succulent meat within. Don't forget the Mad Mayo!!! Our guests raved how tasty everything was especially the Porchetta, stuffed agnolotti, and pasta with Rosè sauce. Mike is an amazing owner, he put my mind at ease when I catered for 30 plus guests. I wish I had taken more pictures. Micatoni's carries authentic products from Italy. Very welcoming staff. #freshquality #authenticproductsfromitaly #Amazingservice Note: The food stayed unbelievably hot for over 2 hours, before we ate, because we had appetizers and waited for all guests to arrive.

Overall, the price is pretty good, we ordered two dishes for a total of $13 and they were LARGE portions. One of them is an old pork rice with hainanese chicken. The hainanese chicken was on a separate plate cause the rice with the meat filled up one of them. The old pork rice tastes like shredded pork. In addition, there was a cup of soy milk and a complimentary soup with it. This dish was REALLY good. The second portion was a massive bowl of noodles (the noodles were the size of Vietnamese bowls. In addition, they added a complimentary drink, which we got the Chinese Ice Tea with it. This dish was average. Overall, 68 Kitchen is a pretty inexpensive place to go, come visit here for large portioned meals for a lunch.

I ordered the peanut noodle soup set with spicy fish. The base for the soup was too bland for my liking and the peanut sauce settled down to the bottom of the bowl. Also, it was very heavy on the noodles with only two pieces of bokchoy and one soy sauce egg. There was not a lot of substance to the soup otherwise. My mom ordered Chow Mein with chicken and black bean sauce which was very tasty and not too oily. It was well balanced with a good portion of vegetable and meat to go with the noodles. My dad had a mushroom and beef stir fry which he enjoyed as well. The portion sizes are very generous. I also like that they do not put any sugar in their complimentary lemon ice tea. Good place overall for cheap eats.

It wasn't too spicy for me, Sriracha would be way spicier in comparison, I didn't have to drink water after each bite, easily scarfed it down Regular Spicy Beef Patty - I didn't really taste much spiceness tbh Overall, the filling was sufficient in each patty and was nicely seasoned, and the bread was more crumbly than flaky. Personally, I prefer a more flaky patty. Also, the temperature of each patty was perfect, since I didn't burn my tongue at all! Pricing was affordable as well. I would rank their patties as the best but it's definitely up there and I would visit again! Service: Barely any wait on a Wednesday at 3:45pm. Staff were friendly, there were 2 people in front to serve customers. CASH & DEBIT ONLY Ambience: It's a takeout and mini grocer setting, so no sitting. I found it unique that they sell oxtail in bulk. Worth a try!

It's the main production location where you can get bread that have been freshly baked, and, of course, Jamaican patties. I have been visiting Tastee's east Markham location regularly as of late. I've been enjoying its patties that I needed to restock. I came to this location after work yesterday, on a late Thursday afternoon. It was a beautiful, unseasonably warm day. I walked in with a t-shirt and joggers on with the temperature at 18°C. I backed into a parking spot a few steps away from the main entrance. I then walked in. I let my nose get me to the main counter. There was a display case full of hot patties. It smelled incredible. It was enjoyable browsing. I saw everything from Limacol after-shave lotion (a total eye-opening experience as someone who doesn't shave her face) to bags of salted cod bits. I kept thinking about ackee and saltfish after looking at the latter. I am a beverage person. I enjoyed looking at drinks with island flare. The Grace peanut punch still sticks in my head. I need to get a drink box and check it out. The large inviting fridge with what looked like endless boxes of frozen patties. made me so happy. Veggie. Chicken. Non-spicy beef. Regular spicy beef. Spicy beef. There is something for everyone. My favourite is the regular spicy beef. I find that it's cheaper to get a dozen patties here at $15. The McCowan location lists a box at $15.50. There isn't tax on top of the price. The difference in price is likely because the McCowan location allows you to pay with a credit card. It also has hot foods. It's cheaper getting a box of 24 patties for $24.25. If you get five cases or more of 24 patties, the price goes down to $22 per case. I love patties. I don't think that I can do a box of 24 patties unless I am having a party or I eat patties all day, every day. I learned when I got to the counter that you can only pay with cash or a debit card. I walked in with a credit card. I got the most understanding woman with blue hair at the payment counter. I let her know that I didn't have a debit card on me and had to head to my car to fetch it. She was great and nodded. I returned in less than a minute armed with my debit card. I thanked her for her patience. I tapped and was good. She asked if I needed the receipt. I took it. I was happy that the box of patties were mine. I wished her a wonderful day. She reciprocated. I left with a cheerful box of patties. Maybe I should get a 24-pack of patties next time. I've already had three. The regular spicy is perfect. It has a slight spicy kick with yummy, seasoned beef in each patty. I want to try the veggie and chicken ones next. I should broaden my horizons, but I love the regular spicy. It's difficult to break buying and consuming what you love. I have heard that this place used to offer hot food. I didn't see that offering when I was there. I suppose that the McCowan location handles it now. I want to get the oxtail. It looked incredible. I'm happy that I finally visited this location. I need to remember to bring a debit card whenever I'm here. I rarely have cash on me, so it's a debit card from now one. If you want yummy patties that don't break the bank, come here. You and your tummy with be content. (119)

My haul consisted of their Sultan with Green Rice, Koobideh kabobs, Joojeh kabobs, ample heaps of polow rice and delicious Ghormeh Sabzi - considered the national dish of Iran dating back 5000 years. It elicits debates among chefs as to which herbs (tareh, parsley, scallion, cilantro, shanbalileh, etc.) and beans to include or exclude. Debates aside, it sure was tasty! Couldn't find a menu in store, either the prices really fluctuate daily on dishes or they make up random pricing. The jury is out in that one!

First off, I have to say I really like Maple Lodge chicken in general. It's tender and the tastiest chicken hands-down. That said we were expecting big things from their restaurant figuring that they should know how to cook chicken. It was the saltiest chicken I've ever had, and it was almost unpalatable. If we weren't so hungry, we would've definitely returned it. We told the kitchen staff that the chicken was really salty, and they replied " yeah, we 've gotten that feedback before we'll tell the cook. We then told the team lead as well because l they should really reduce the salt. Disappointed and will never order food there again, but I'll still buy Maple Lodge chicken in the grocery stores. Kitchen at the Chicken shop, My recommendation is to get somebody who knows how to cook fried chicken and get them to teach you how to do it right.
