Tip: This restaurant is on Skip the Dishes.
Yesterday, I was in Pickering. I wanted to grab some takeout for dinner before heading home.
Skip the Dishes had a discount code. If I spent $30 on an order, I'd get 50% off. Sweet!
I found Dragon Gem. I looked at the menu. Whenever I see ho fun on the menu, I have to get it.
My order consisted of these items:
- Beef ho fun
- Large wonton soup
I got an estimated time of ten minutes for my order to be ready. I thought that it was a mistake. It made sense when I got to the restaurant. I needed ten minutes to drive over here.
It's in a plaza that I have frequented before. It has a Rexall that I shopped at in the past.
I had no problem finding a parking spot near this restaurant. I backed into an available spot and walked in.
I have never seen so many folks in a kitchen! I'd guess that there were eight folks making food and packing up orders. Wow!
I got the nicest woman. I rattled off the last four numbers of my Skip the Dishes order. She found it and my name on the order. Yay!
She handed me my food in a paper bag with a plastic bag around it. I thanked her and left.
Everything was packed well. No leakage. My food and soup were still hot when I got home with it.
I looked forward to chowing down. I started with the wonton soup.
The broth was perfect. It was clear and had a touch of salt that I liked. There were many wontons that had flavourful pork filling. Each wonton was softer than expected, but it was nice not to exert much effort chewing it.
It had sliced barbeque pork in it. So good!
I got crunchy sticks. I've never been a fan of them, so I didn't put them in my soup.
I loved the beef ho fun. It was perfect. It had lots of tender beef slices. The rice noodles (ho fun) were so good. They were stir-fried and tasted amazing. My dish had sliced onions and bean sprouts in every bite. The portion size was generous.
Excellent food!
I'd return for more when I'm in the area.
