good food around midland/sheppard
In no particular order Dragon Dynasty for dim sum (Brimley and Huntingwood) - the push cart type. I'm not sure how veg friendly they are....but the vast majority of Chinese restaurants will have a tofu...

Is it me? Il gelatiere seems to have gotten more "airy". I prefer my gelato dense rich and velvety. Lately my preference goes to soma.

To state the obvious, only because it hasn't been clear, a napkin is dirty and shouldn't be handled by a server, or vice versa, hence the tongs. Either the folding with a servers hands or tongs, it's...

I've never understood how Il Gelatiere survives - although, to be fair, I never ever go there anymore. Love the Soma chocolate ices - but don't find good value in their other offerings. Used to love...

I'll have to try the blueberry basil. I tried a pineapple basil at at another shop a few years ago. Really like basil/fruit combos and chile/fruit (such as spicy mango- not sure where it's being sold...

I love the ones at 'Nando's' - the Portuguese Chicken place. Unlike most slaw, Nando's sweetish and not tart at all. Think there's a location on 939 Eglington East.
