The Nom Wah Tea Parlor has been on my list for
some time now and yesterday I finally got to go!
It's situated right at the bend of Doyers St, also known
as the "Bloody Angle" , and has occupied that same
space since 1968. But it has been in business since 1920
(The original space was one door up)
The inside has a bit of a diner feel, filled with booths,
tables and a counter but the high ceilings give it an airy
quality. Instead of the carts being pushed they give you a
checklist of their menu and you mark off the items that
you would like. So much better than the cart process.
I went with my friend Sharon, who I had not seen
in such a long time. This ended up being the perfect place
to catch up. They don't rush you out, there are
cheap pots of tea, and the food is really delicious.
We ordered Turnip cakes, scallion pancakes a pork bun,
vegetable dumplings, pan fried noodles, and a large pot of a tea
called Iron Buddha.
My favorites were the scallion pancake and the
pan fried noodles, least favorite was the veg dumpling.
It's definitely not something that I need to be eating
on a regular basis but this is definitely going on
my list of favorite places in the city,
