Crystal Buffet.

$5 Buffet!!!... This is not a joke. Crystal Buffet opened in November and is offering Buy One Get One Free buffet from Monday to Wednesday for both lunch and dinner. Lunch is $9.99 and dinner is $16.99. Which means for lunch, 2 people the bill comes to... you guessed it! $11.29 including tax! So if that isn't enough to get you to go, I must admit the food wasn't terrible. Crystal Buffet like Mandarin, Dragon Pearl/Legend, King's Buffet, and the list goes on and on, all serve the same Chinese-Canadian food. Fried rice/ noodles, fried chicken, sushi (sans raw fish), california rolls, dim sum were all on par with any other buffet I've ever been to. And anyone who believes buffets are about food quality is really missing the point. Buffet is about quantity. So although I'm not a buffet connoisseur, the food was well... food! and the selection wasn't bad either. Every station was constantly being refilled and stocked. And for that price, it was well worth the trip. I actually paid more because we had 3 people in our group which meant we paid $20+tax. So the lesson here is to always go with an even number of people. // 22 Metropolitan Rd, Scarborough

Sunshine Spot.

Breakfast!... The best time to have breakfast is all damn day!!! I was recently craving some eggs and bacon, so I went out a nearby restaurant in North York called Sunshine Spot that has been around forever.  I was pretty hungry and craving an eggs benedict so I went to their location on Sheppard and ordered their loaded $9 Bacon Veggie Melt version of the benedict- 2 Poached Eggs with bacon, spinach, mushrooms, onions, green peppers on an english muffin with tasty hollandaise sauce drizzled all over. Huge delicious portions that fixed my breakfast craving. My friends ordered the Chicken Sandwich + Soup and the Sausage + 3 egg breakfast combo that also comes with toast and roasted potatoes.  All simple, but super tasty foods. This is a great spot to hit up if you're too lazy to cook on a sunday morning or even for dinner on a friday night! Check out that sideways face on the sausage and egg plate (sausage= hair, egg yolks=eyes and nose, potatoes= mouth)! LOL
