Bayview Court Chinese Restaurant

Bayview Court Chinese Restaurant (1070 Major Mackenzie Drive East, Richmond Hill)

Braised duck:
The duck was my favourite dish. The meat had a bit of smokiness to it. There were also slices of tofu underneath it all. Great taste. 

Rice noodles in soup with fish dumplings:
There were five dumplings, which is a pretty good number for the size of the bowl. What I didn't realize until Jo told me was that the outside layer is the fish part. It's like a fish ball stuffed with meat. I don't know what kind of meat, but it tasted pretty good.

Chiu chow style congee with oysters:
The congee had good flavour, and the oysters added a salty dimension. 

I think this is baby bak choy with mushrooms and pieces of pork:
The choi was cooked properly and had a good amount of crunch to them. No complaints for this dish. 

Spicy fried squid:
This was the weakest dish of the night. The squid wasn't crispy enough, and it was quite difficult to chew through it.

Five dishes for four people:

Everything cleared.

Overall, I'd say the food is better than the average Chinese restaurant. The staff was on the ball refilling the teapot, and getting Mel a new set of chopsticks when hers fell on the floor. We didn't even have a chance to ask before they brought the new set to the table.

Total damage per person: $13.50.
