Today we checked out a little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant for dinner, and it was pretty excellent. Good pho, Shanghai noodles, ginger beef and these spectacular fried jumbo shrimp. Mmmm. The accompanying tea was just jasmine bagged tea, I think the stuff that comes in the yellow box with the red and white writing, but it was a pretty great accompaniment to a good meal.

Can I ask where you went? I adore “little hole in the wall Chinese” restaurants. Would hate to think that I’ve missed a good one….

Ding Ho on William and Isabel.

If you haven’t been to East Ocean on Hargrave that one is also super amazing.

Thank you!!!! I’ve been to Ding Ho and agree it’s really good – but if we are in that neighborhood we usually go to Pho No. 1 – more Vietnamese than Chinese but FANTASTIC!!! (it’s Isabel and McDirmid ish). I’ve never even heard of East Ocean, so need to check that one out.
My all time favorite Asian restaurant in the city is Sun Fortune (in the strip mall just before Winners on Pembina Highway). :))

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
