Congee Dynasty- Mississauga



There's a little Chinese restaurant located at 1100 Burnhamthorpe Rd West that has some of the best Chinese food available.  Here's a little review of what I got from Congee Dynasty on a lazy, rainy Sunday.


Got myself some Ham Yur Gai Lup Fan and some Shurn Lat Tong.  That's, salted fish and chicken fried rice with hot and sour soup.  Two of my favorite dishes.


It tastes great and it doesn't cost much at all.  I paid $27.29 for 2 orders of the fried rice and 1 order of the soup.  I don't know why I got 2 orders of the fried rice.  Doesn't matter, means I have something to eat for dinner as well.


The Ham Yur Gai Lup Fan (salted fish and chicken fried rice) is like your typical Hong Kong street shop, it's a little oily, it's full of flavor, and it's hot and if you get it to go, it comes wrapped in aluminum foil and a styrofoam box.  The only complaint I have is the hot and sour soup.  It's not entirely authentic, although it's the best that I've had in Toronto to this date.  There's some carrots in there and the mushrooms taste a little funny.  But all in all, a very decent soup to have on a cold day.  It's still spicy and sour so it's still worth a visit.

Their number is 905-949-1988.  You can either eat there and enjoy browsing through their menu or you can order food via take-out and go and pick up your food.  Bring another person cause on busy days like Sunday, you might have trouble finding a parking spot!

The Cause

Dear all,

Welcome and congratulations on finding my website! This is still brand new so I'd like to apologize for any mistakes or if I have stepped on anyone's toes for anything that I do with this blog.

How often have you been presented with a flood of advertising in your mailbox, but couldn't really find any comprehensive reviews regarding cuisine or the best places to shop for food?

No worries! I am here to save the day.

Being a local Torontonian, I am an avid food-lover. Some may call me a glutton. So what? Cuisine in it's art form is beautiful. The amount of history and innovation it takes to create the skin of Ha Gao or the perfection of a George Foreman grill should make us all appreciate the efforts of these pioneers.

So let's get it right. I will express my most objective opinion on restaurants, supermarkets, and places where you can find food including and not limited to, fast food chains, pizza parlors, and hawker stalls.  And why? Because I think that there are too many restaurants all over the GTA. Here, I present you with my best efforts, the reviews of the places that I have been to.

You will not see any pictures of myself. And I will not disclose any personal information for my own safety. Consider me as a vigilante of cuisine.

I shall be known as, Mokoto.
