  • Looking for a special place to dine this holiday season? 🍽️@AzyunRestaurant is easily one of my all-time favourite restaurants that serves Asian Fusion cuisine.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Every time I visit, they never cease to impress with the thought that goes into creating the journey of textures and flavours in each dish. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ As always it was a pleasure watching chef @justimagination work behind the scenes in his incredibly well organized kitchen while revealing the thought process behind his culinary genius.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Photo: Mama Wong's Tripe, braised for 8 hours in tomato sauce, served with chili mustard, olives and deep fried mantou chips. I have never tried mantou chips before and now that I have, I can't get enough of them!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Thanks to @AzyunRestaurant and @Jon_mrDimsum for the wonderful tasting!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #markhamfood #markhameats #markham #markham #asianfusion #fusionfood #chinesefusion #CasualFineDining #youneedtoeatthis #foodphotography #lighting #photoshoot #canon6d #food #foodporn #foodie #blogto #curiocityto #narcitytoronto #the6ix #torontoeats #cravethe6ix #to_finest #yyz #gta

  • This steamed soup dumpling was so delicious, I forgot that I had agreed to share 😋 (sorry @MyFoodNation)! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me tell you, #EpicDimsumShowdown4 was at a whole 'nother level this year. From the gold brushed charcoal salted egg yolk buns, to the mango pudding disguised as quail eggs, to this soup dumpling the size of my fist, everything was elevated and well put together! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I highly recommend trying 'The One Fusion Cuisine 聚龍軒' (@infotheone), one of the hottest high-end Dimsum places in town! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks @jon_mrdimsum and @feedmyphone for organizing this event! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Location: The One Fusion Cuisine, 9019 Bayview Ave unit 9, Richmond Hill
