This is a documentary about my quest to find the quintessential food ingredient. I plan to search high and low, putting aside all prejudices and preconceptions on right, left, and wrong. Please join me on this gastronomic pilgrimage as we discover what it means to truly enjoy our life.

Day 11: Chinese Donut from House of Gourmet
Called "Youtiao", one of the best breads you can get, especially 1) when it's fresh (i.e. just came out of the fryer a few minutes ago), and 2) you can dip it in stuff. The bread from House of Gourmet (Spadina and Dundas) comes out crispy on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside which allows it just soak up all the flavours around it like a sponge. I dip it in whatever sauces I have on the plate, much like how Europeans use bread to mop up sauces in bowls. The whole plate shown here, costs $1.00 plus tax, and is probably enough for two people. I tend to dunk it in congee to get the contrast in textures.
