Introduction
Scarborough is a unique place in the world, even by Toronto standards,
the number of ethnicities living in Scarborough is at a different level when
compared to the rest of Toronto. In fact, American
author and economist Tyler Cowen in a University of Toronto article said
this about Scarborough: “the dining capital of the world.” A big reason for
this quote is the large number of immigrants that have come to Scarborough,
which resulted in several different types of cuisines not seen in many places
around the world like Mediterranean food.
In this blog, I will be talking about the food I like the
most in Scarborough. We will be looking at Pakistani, Afghani, and Thai restaurants
that exist in Scarborough.
La Sani Grill
First, I will start with my personal favourite, La Sani Grill. La Sunni Grill is in East Scarborough and offers several food items
like chicken tikka boti, palak paneer, and butter chicken.
Butter chicken is self-explanatory, but many people who do
not have an Indian subcontinent background may not know what palak paneer or
chicken tikka boti is. Palak paneer is green spinach with cheese and some oil,
while chicken tikka boti is a large piece of boneless chicken.
My favourite dishes of all time are butter chicken and palak
paneer. I like the cream put into the butter chicken and I also like the
flavour of the palak paneer. I also really enjoy the chicken tikka boti from La Sani Grill, which is very tasty and
full of flavour. Afghani food is like Pakistani food except that Afghani food
is mainly grilled.
The Afghani food in Scarborough is very tasty and in my
opinion a lot healthier than the Pakistani and Indian food because the food is
grilled and not fried. The place I go for Afghani food is Naan and Kabob, which has a few locations in Scarborough, including
one in Scarborough Town Centre.
The dish I order from this place is called Tandoori Chicken.
This tandoori chicken is extremely delicious and packs a lot of flavour in the
dish. The great thing though about this dish is the salad and the dressings you
get for a salad. It is probably one of the best salads you would ever taste as
the salad has a lot of flavour. The Thai cuisine is quite different then the
Afghani or Pakistani cuisine because there is a lot of sweetness in Thai’s
cuisines.
Thai Room Scarborough
is another great place to visit. It is a restaurant that sells authentic Thai
food and is located close to Scarborough
Town Centre. I started with their famous green and red curries, which I
really liked.
I prefer the green curry as they have better tasting vegetables
in my opinion than the red curry, but it is all up to a person’s personal
choice. Another main dish I take at Thai
Room Scarborough is malay curry beef, which has a tremendous flavour with
Malay spices, but it is also extremely spicy. There is also the Chicken Pad
Thai, which has delicious noodles and spicy chicken.
The appetizers at Thai Room Scarborough are also very tasty
like the spicy Shrimp Chips and the tasty peanut sauce you get with the shrimp
chips. If you plan to have both an appetizer and a main dish, I would recommend
using the peanut sauce on the main dish as it would make the food that much tastier.
The best appetizer for me is the chicken skewers called chicken satay which
also comes with peanut sauce.
Conclusion
In this blog, I covered the three types of food that are
available in Scarborough and have had personal experience with. Of course,
there are so many different types of cuisines in Scarborough that it was hard
to cover them all. Other foods that I would recommend are Spicy Dragon (fusion of Indian and Chinese food) and Fish and Chips. The former is a
different take on Chinese and Indian food while the latter has that iconic fish
and fries’ taste that is available across England.
