James, these look so good! Hey, since you're looking at Toronto cheap eats, try Yummy House (east end). Their popcorn chicken is my fave - snack size is under $5 and generous portion but I have to get their large (I think it's $7). It's super crunchy with a hint of 5 spice powder and not oily at all. You could get a snack size and a bubble tea there for under $10. Local mom and pop shop and they've been open for years!

That one bun for $6 is really expensive, less than $10 for one item doesn’t mean its cheap lol

@gabriel6s 11 месяцев назад

For sure. Especially for a cha siu bun you would get in asia but in Toronto I feel like it's not much more expensive and then if you add on the quality of it then I think $6 is def worth it. Still maybe not cheap though

@MK-ek7vd 11 месяцев назад

@@gabriel6s I don't know what kind of quality you are talking about and I never bought cha siu bun in Asia so I can't really related to your comment over there but if you are talking about Toronto, for sure you know cobs bread and that bakery sells quality bread and let's say small cape seed loaf is $6.5 I believe (maybe little less) Whatever the quality we are talking about, that bun should be not more than $4.5.

@gabriel6s 11 месяцев назад

@MK-ek7vd Yeah I mean if you compare it like that then it definitely shouldn't cost that much especially since the one's down Spadina are probably like $3 max? Using quality as a word wasn't the best choice on my part. What I meant was that the place he showed makes the bread in house and by hand so the cost of labour for that compared to somewhere that has industrial machines would be higher, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the quality would be higher. Also compared to a loaf of bread, the pork for the cha siu would be another additional cost, driving up the prices

@jamesbok 11 месяцев назад

definitely isn't the cheapest item but I like to treat myself to it!

@jamesbok 11 месяцев назад

Totally agreed! Definitely not cheap (and a treat to be honest) but something I definitely love getting!

Thanks for the tour James! Curious if that pizza joint has always been there. I used to go to a place by Uof T many years ago and it reminded me of it. When I was in TO back in May I couldn't find it and wondered if it had moved but I did hit that Korean grocery store for goodies to bring back to my hotel!

@betinawheeler686 11 месяцев назад

@@jamesbok here is what I remember. I was taking night classes at U of T. I had to walk through a field (I think baseball/soccer) field going south from Bloor just the other side of the stadium. It was non-descript - you walked up to the counter got your pizza and sat down to eat. They had been there forever and the slices were huge and great. I gave up trying to find it after an hour - I suspect the field is long gone. I left Toronto 25+ years ago. Even though I traveled back and forth it was usually to visit family so I never got to do more than Chinatown, Kensington Market, harbourfront... Walked 12,000+ steps daily for the 5 days I was there and scoured the city. So much has changed, yet so much is the same. I love Van but Toronto is special. Korea town didn't exist back then and I was pleasantly surprised by so many Korean restaurants, etc. We still don't have a lot of them out our way.

@pauly5418 7 месяцев назад

Badiali's opened in more recent years and is not near UofT. You may be thinking of Cora Pizza and Papa Ceo's on the west side of Spadina just north of Harbord. They've been there a long time. The original Italian owners are retired but I think they're both still there with different owners. They were big slices but there are better pizzas elsewhere. Good enough to fill a hungry student though.

@betinawheeler686 7 месяцев назад

@@pauly5418 Harbord and Papa Ceo's sounds familiar. All I remember though is there was a field in front of it between Bloor and the street where they were. I suspect that is long gone and that is why I couldn't find it.
