Inexpensive asian food?
I love asian food and I'm always looking for new places. Do you know of any places (be it food courts, restaurants, etc) that's relatively inexpensive?
I know the CTC foodcourt has this one food stand that gives you a 3 item plate of various Chinese food for like 3.99, and I also know of Sake Sushi, right beside Pacific Mall. It's an all you can eat sushi/sashimi/related restaurant for only 12$ a person I'm pretty sure.

Irrelevant. If it tastes good I'll eat it.

It is relevant. Any self-respecting Chinese person or even Chinese cuisine connoisseur will not stoop to eating fake Chinese food.

Dear god, what kind of arrogant elitist statement is that? Can you even define to me what "chinese food" means? Food is food, and although I'm quite partial to cantonese cooking, I do appreciate how good the sauce from the garlic and oil rib dish from a buffet tastes. To think that you're too good to eat something is just crass. Originally Posted by ItemFinder

I buy the chicken feet, ground beef balls and black bean pork ribs from T&T at the dimsum counter at $2 per portion, take it home and eat it with rice that I cook myself. So that's only $2.20 at most ...
Taiko has 6 veggie springrolls for $2. Reply With Quote

First Markham Place has a very good food court which has almost anything you would ever want.

I happen to like the "fake" chinese food, or whatever they have at Manchu Wok at the mall. Originally Posted by sockhead

I don't think you have to eat only at 5 star places all the time..geezzz
As long as the restaurant is clean, it shouldn't matter too much where you eat...
Real asian food is good too, but I can't eat that many spices lately...._______________

Totally untrue. I am 100% full fledged Chinese by ancestry, and I am a heavy consumer of authentic Chinese cuisine, but I have no problems with eating Canadian Chinese food on occasion. Food is food. If it tastes good, I'll eat it. There is nothing wrong with chicken balls or spring rolls or lemon chicken or fortune cookies. We can debate the merits of its authenticity, but it is still edible and it is still delicious. I do not subscribe to your view at all, and I can tell you that your statement is not indicative of the opinions of many Asians. In fact, I find your statements offensive and insulting to those of us who enjoy food. Originally Posted by ItemFinder

Keep in mind though, that cheap usually means some corners cut which include the addition of MSG and lower grade of meat, etc. - which may have negligible health benefits.Last edited by thegazelle; Oct 24th, 2007 at 09:35 AM.

Try out the vietnamese sandwhich stores along spadina (north of dundas).
You can get plates of food for $3.50-$4.00
SAndwhiches for $1.50_______________

My absolute favourite dish at Chinese restaurants is Cantonese Chow Mein. I have it every single time we go out. I just found out recently that it's considered Canadian-Chinese food. Does that make it less tasty or "pure"? Absolutely not.
Don't get up on such a high horse about food. Because it all ends up in the toilet within a few hours, whether it's shark-fin soup or chicken balls. Reply With Quote
