感谢51的试吃机会和店老板的热情款待,今天慕名到"城隍庙小吃"品尝本帮菜.
先是糖醋小排,酱鸭和白斩鸡:排骨酱汁浓郁,微酸微甜,很具海派风味;酱鸭骨酥肉软,酱味深入,差点没舔盘子;白斩鸡味道清爽,但因选用三黄鸡,皮下脂肪较多,鸡皮不够韧脆.
接着红烧狮子头,清炒虾仁,雪菜毛豆炒百叶,老上海沙锅腌笃鲜.其中清炒虾仁为最佳,很象水晶虾仁,薄薄的一层浆,突出虾仁的饱满和富有弹性;狮子头的酱汁自然也是该店的一大特色,美中不足的是不够紧致,切开的时候很松散;腌笃鲜是上海特色菜,我阿太烧的味道萦绕于心,相比下来香味不够浓郁,可能因为腊肉和笋的选材;雪菜毛豆为家常菜.
既然是小吃,少不了本帮菜特色小笼包,鲜肉和蟹粉的,汤汁饱满,但嫌不够烫,大概怕烫着了客人.肉松香酥饼和枸杞酒酿芝麻汤圆是我的最爱,前者着实香酥,后者酒味浓郁,强烈推荐.
如果胃还有空间,接下来的葱油拌面和咸肉菜饭就彻底让你心满意足,烤葱和腊肉的香味让你欲罢不能.据老板介绍,他们用的所有咸肉/腊肉都是自己腌制的,避免了采购食材常有的过量防腐剂.
汤足饭饱后,6个人费用$140(含小费),平均$23/人,确实物尽所值!

Rib is really good. Fried potato wedge has different taste. More important, the quantity is sufficient.

the service is outstanding compare to the other Mandarins: last time the manager came over and asked for opinions. The good thing is that there's not such a crowd as I experienced at Yonge and North York Mandarins.
Food is fresh, especially when you try QingKou, Crab legs and Sushi. Dessert has more than sufficient varieties. Overall, it's good place for family event and friends union.

先上来的馕不错,软而有韧性.配的色拉一般,叶菜不是很新鲜.等烤肉的时间很长,一共也才点了6道.
羊肉烤得不错;相比而言,牛肉烤得干了;鸡肉最次,串烤的鸡肉都没熟,肉还是粉红的,不是烤牛排需要的那种粉红,肉没熟.价格适中,$40-50二人.那天周五晚上,没啥人,三五好友倒是可以畅聊.

辣的到位;在多伦多餐馆里,西域的风味算是比较地道了;价钱是wallet friendly :)

Mandarin is the best buffet among the others in Toronto.

my hubby's favorite, taste is good and price is good too.

the taste has the difference from the exact Shanghai dumpling, but it's still ok when you get in toronto.
