One of Ottawa’s coolest new food spots just quietly opened inside Parkdale Market. 🥢 Created by Chef Tino of TL Chocolates, the new concept brings a tiny open kitchen dining experience to the market with a menu focused on rich Chinese comfort food and bold flavours. ✨ The setup feels more like a hidden micro restaurant than a typical market stall, with guests sitting just steps away from the cooking while dishes come out fresh from the kitchen. 🔥 Menu favourites already include grilled pork belly with scallion oil on rice, brisket with daikon, salt and pepper mushrooms, and stir fried long beans. 🌶️🍚 📍 Parkdale Public Market, Ottawa 📷@tl_chocolates #datenightcapital #ottawafood #ottawarestaurants

All of us coming together, getting our best outfit on and racing down to the shop to give our new year wishes to Mah 🙇🏻‍♂️✨ Back then, youtube and google wasnt as easy to look things up,so learning new wishes in Cantonese was tricky and Mah wouldn’t take the wishes twice..so we would try to keep hush between the one we knew and make sure we secured that Laiiii See fung 🧧🧧 😅😂 So for this very special occasion🧧🎊💛, I wanted to share the celebration and invite you all this Sunday at the @ottawafarmersmarket to celebrate with me and the fam to bring in the year of the fire horse!
