Keung's Delight

Keung'sDelight (7030 Warden Avenue, Markham)

At the corner of Warden and Steeles, there is a plaza with many Asian restaurants and a large Chinese grocery store (and Boston Pizza and Shoppers Drug Mart). It may seem daunting to find parking on a Saturday afternoon, but the trick is to park near the non-Asian establishments. I've never had trouble finding spaces near Boston Pizza. Seriously.

There is a variety of eating establishments in this T&T plaza, but not all of them offer a cheap, late lunch. They call it "High-Tea" and it runs from 3-5:30 p.m. I don't care what they call it as long as it's cheap and good.

Just like Keung Kee, any food item in the High-Tea special menu comes with a free drink of your choice.


We arrive around 3 p.m. and there's already a line of people waiting to be seated. The line moves quickly and it takes about 10 minutes for us to get a table for four.

Expecting tea in the teapot, I am a little surprised to find out that it's just warm water.
Chris always orders the crispy chicken in black bean sauce on rice in these kinds of restaurants, so I decided to try it this time. The chicken is quite crispy, and the portion is huge. Judging by the size and the serving spoon it came with, it seems like a dish that was made to be shared. I eat it all.
Iced red bean drink:
I don't love the type of milk they use in this drink. I think it's condensed milk. Maybe it would've tasted better with ice cream.

I try a piece of deep fried crispy milk.
You're supposed to dip it in sugar, but I kind of like it without the sugar.

After a while, a waitress replaces our warm water with tea. That's the way it should be.

There is a happy face on the bill.
That bill is for four people, each of us having a drink. Cheapness!

Damage for the crispy chicken on rice and red bean drink: $6.45 + tax + tip.
