Ditch the food courts for affordable food, especially if you have a few mouths to feed. The food courts in Toronto and Scarborough can cost approx CAD10++ per pax but having a meal with sharing dishes at Yuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant in Markham in Scarborough cost us only CAD30 with tax and tips for 6 people.

Canada is a country where different nationalities are celebrated, so you can get almost any kind of cuisine and they’re pretty authentic. The Tian Jin cuisine served at Yuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant was recommended by my aunt who hails from China. She visits this restaurant with her Chinese friends monthly.

Personal recommendations:
- Seaweed egg drop soup
- Tian Jin liang pi
- Green Bean Crepe with crispy dough fritter
- Braised Pork Bun
