Hello T Long!
Based on your trusted recommendation, my wife and I gave Elegance a try this lunch time. Dim Sum IMHO, is good quality, very similar to Sam Woo's, but nothing to wow about. Definitely agree with your 'serious competition' comment. One thing that stood out was the courteous and friendly service, especially from the managers. And the tea was very good!
Anyways we ordered the following:
- Har Gow Prawn dumplings
- Baked Pineapple Crusted Char-Siu Buns
- Fried Taro Croquettes
- Steamed Rice Roll 'Cheung Fun' with Prawns and
Yellowing chives
- Fried Mango and prawns roll
- Baked Egg Custard tarts
- Steamed Char Siu Bao
Har Gow was juicy and prawns were crunchy. But like every Toronto Dim Sum establishments, wrappers were a failure!. The baked buns were fluffy, light and good with an abundance of filling. However, a little bit more sauce would be nice! The fried Taro croquettes was good but the same cannot be said about the bland tasting, greasy and overly thick crusted mango and prawn rolls. One of the worse tasting Dim Sum I had this year! Lastly, love the way they 'heat up' the soya sauce for the rice roll! A nice touch!
Overall bill came to $37. Not sure whether this was early-bird pricing?!
