Day 22: Shrimp Won Ton at House of Gourmet

Undoubtedly, one of the best wonton you'll find in Toronto is at House of Gourmet at Spadina and Dundas. Their secret (or not so secret, as they make them right in front of the street through a window) is that the wonton is fresh, not frozen. They make them right there in massive batches, by hand, and cook them, which means the prawns are fresher, they cook more evenly (vs. if they are cooked from frozen), the wonton wrapper skin is lighter in texture, and of the course, the flavour is more intense. Of course, you can only do this if you have enough volume and this place is always packed. The price is great too. The bowl in the picture has fish balls and egg noodles and is a little over $5-$6 (before tax).
