More Lunch Munch

So there were a couple more lunch spots to try this week. At Sheppard and Pharmacy, there were a few old-school Chinese places that didn't stand out. But there was Umji, a Korean diner, that seemed promising. I opted for the soon tofu stew ($7.95). Honestly, I don't know how these places stay in business. With the variety of kimchi that accompanied the soup, plus the bowl of rice, it was a full-to-bursting lunch for under $10.

I was also back to Birchmount for the last spot in that area, the oddly named Mystik which turned out to be another South Asian take-out. It didn't have the wonderful array of options on display as Crown Paradise. I was hoping to try some Parsi dishes. These are entrées from an Indian ethnic group whose ancestors came from Persia. Unfortunately, they were no longer offered. According to the owner, most people who were interested in these dishes already make them at home. What a shame.

So I opted for the intriguing butter chicken roll ($4.99). It turned out to be a large burrito-style concoction stuffed with salad and gooey butter chicken. This was quite a filling meal for the price, although the flavour was average.
