Sometimes I just need dumplings. And despite the ongoing troubles at a certain nearby restaurant, Scarborough's Dumpling King proved to be just the place to satisfy this craving. But, just in case these fun-filled pockets aren't spinning your wheels, there's also nice variety of other (mostly) well-executed dishes to choose from.

Located on Yonge just south of Finch, this second-floor, Victorian-styled cafe is a quirky but inspired room in which to take tea. The food, on the other hand, is a little disappointing.

Traditional Korean Restaurant (aka Wonjo) in North York is a humble gem of a joint that serves one of the spiciest Korean stews I have ever tasted. I'm talking sweat, tears and swollen lips hot.
