I recalled reading from a Globe and Mail article about a list of suggested Hwy 7 restaurants to visit for Chinese food. I was naturally curious because I have been working in the area for years. White Orchid was a restaurant that I have never visited. In the previous placeholder, there was a restaurant called something "Delicious" which opened only for 2 hours a day at lunch. Many of my colleagues thought that this restaurant was operating a gambling den in the background.
White Orchid is wonderful little restaurant with quite a few special dishes available. There is a medium sized but surprisingly extensive menu that includes curries, rotis, crab, fried tofu, lobster, laksa, fried noodles, and satay.
On separate occassions I have tried their curry chicken with roti, which is delicious, wasabi mayo prawns, salted egg golden prawns, and fish tofu balls. Each dish was quite flavourful and a treat.
This is definitely a place I would come back to, it is worth the drive up to Richmond Hill!
Another hidden gem in Richmond Hill! I love this restaurant for their selection and flavours. They serve a mix of "Sing-Ma-Thai" (Singaporean, Malaysian, & Thai) cuisine that is slightly Westernized to cater to Canadian taste buds. The chefs are masterful at using the wok, and every steaming dish that comes out of the kitchen makes my mouth water. Some of my favourites include Bah Kut Teh, Fish Otah, Hainan Chicken with their special Coconut Rice (SO GOOD), and their Salted Egg Golden Prawns. I'm definitely visiting again because there are still so many things on the menu I want to try!
