General Food, Dining and Nightlife News

More people are eating at places featuring more "authentic" Chinese cuisine, or at least are somewhere in the middle, featuring authentic dishes alongside the traditional "Canadian Chinese" ones.  And not to mention increased competition from all the other asian cuisines.

If anyone is interested in some authentic Chinese food try the Easy Earthen Restaurant at 197 King St. East.  That's where Fiedlers Delicatessen used to be until they closed.  This restaurant has more unfamiliar items then I've seen at any Chinese restaurant in the area.  For example, have you ever tried Duck's blood with Beef Tripe in Spicy soup or are you now suddenly turned off??  Dodgy    Unfortunately, people either don't know it's there or they don't like the menu items.  We had lunch there and we were the only ones in the restaurant.  The server told us that to increase business they are going to offer lunch specials consisting of sweet and sour chicken balls, lemon chicken, etc.  In other words, Chinese pablum that Canadians like so much.  She was shocked to see my expression and I told her I try to avoid restaurants that serve that style of food.  She promised that the unusual items will still remain on the menu but the lunch specials were meant to drum up more business.
