My Wonderful Kitchen, Richmond Hill, ON - tasty and beautifully presented Chinese food!

Posted by We popped into this modern and light filled Chinese restaurant for dinner on one of our last days in Toronto during the last long weekend.  You're welcomed by primary colored accents, a waiting room with plenty of ipads to entertain the kids, friendly waitstaff and delicious scents coming out from the kitchen.  Was told by my uncle that this place takes a bit more pride in presentation as well as making tasty food and we weren't disappointed.

10 minute lunch or dinner: Spaghetti Vongole or pasta with clams and white wine broth - super simple and easy!

Posted by I sometimes make this as a super quick weekend lunch when there's lots of errands to run, or for a fast dinner after a long day of work and I just want something fast, tasty but still healthy and then crawl into bed.  You can make this with any pasta, but I like using Spaghettini or angel hair pasta as its much thinner than Spaghetti, so it cooks faster and absorbs the white wine broth really well. You can take an extra 10 min to clean and cook fresh clams, but on a work night, I make this with a nice big tin or 2 small tins of canned whole clams.This simple dish seriously can be made in 10 minutes, as long as you prep the veggies and open the cans of clams after you start cooking the pasta.
