I've had the lunch special here a few times now. I love this place because the servings are portioned so well (at least for lunch) and you don't feel gross after you leave from overeating. Which happens so often at Chinese food restaurants. The food here is really good. Fresh and delicious. It's a go-to.

The staff at Horsing Around have been in the trenches in search of the holy grail of our favourite foodstuff, the glorious noodle.  Whether it be mung bean, traditional wheat pasta, egg or rice noodle, we have slurped them all down with equal brio. Today we want to give kudos to a dish you may not be familiar with, Chow Fun.  Many of us have enjoyed Chow Mein, the ubiquitous Chinese take out staple. Chow Mein is comprised of thin wheat noodles,wok fried until hot and crispy.  Chow Fun alternately is comprised of wide soft, rice noodles, stir fried with a protein (usually beef), flavoured with ginger and dark soy, and topped with crunchy bean sprouts.  Chow Fun is said to test the mettle of the Cantonese cook as the noodles have to be sauteed in a dry seasoned wok to impart the requisite smoky flavour (we have heard that some cooks “cheat†by adding liquid smoke) .  Whatever the method of preparation, we love Chow Fun – the textural contrast between slippery noodles and crunchy bean spouts, the little throat warming kick of ginger and liquoricy dark soy, we crave this dish again and again.
Just what we needed. For a place to be busy on a Tuesday night we knew we were in for a winner. The service was great and the food was so tasty. Perfect mid week meal at a great price
