Yang's Fine Chinese Cuisine

Yang's Fine Chinese Cuisine, a premium Chinese fine dining restaurant in North Toronto. It's a cozy restaurant, but the food, decor, and services are comparable to 國金軒- 高級中菜 Grand Chinese Cuisine in Doubletree Toronto. Address: Unit 30, 9665 Bayview avenue, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 9V4. Phone: 905-884-3388.

The golden "Lazy Susan" and red eggs is a symbol of a prosperity and healthy future for the host and the family. (Congratulations, WaterMelonBB!)

The crab claws were deep fried to it's golden perfection, stuffed with fresh crab meat and shrimps. The BBQ baby pig was fatty and crispy. I am not a big fan of shark fin soup personally. Surprisingly, both of the shark fin and the soup totally exceeded my expectation. The sliced abalone was the real dried ones too, not one of those abalone in a can.

The crispy chicken was crispy, tender, and juicy.

The steamed double fishes were extremely fresh. The heart-sharped jelly dessert forms a golden path to a bright beautiful future!

The room was their famous atrium corner suite overlooking the atrium lobby and the Markham center. The deluxe marble bathroom was beautiful although the tub was a bit small. Can anyone tell me what does the thing next to the toilet do?

Sagano

Sagano, fine Japanese cuisine at the rooftop of Delta hotel Toronto-Scarborough. The Initiation Sushi includes 6 pieces of sushi with california rolls. That is the main purpose for going to Sagano v.s. other Japanese restaurants. Not just the sushi, even the california rolls were good! The Osaka course includes MISO SOUP, SALAD, SASHIMI or CHICKEN, AGEMONO（天婦羅）, YAKIMONO（焼物）, and ICE CREAM. The meal started with an appetite opening orange salad. I could hardly found any chicken inside the crispy chicken, but the crisp was very tasty. The chicken yakimon was normal, no surprise. As for the sweet ginger ice-cream, just the look worths the value! (LP, let's focus on sushi and sashimi next time!)
