Tonight we ventured into the Markham area to have some seafood at Win’s Seafood Restaurant. This place is located on the southwest side of 16th Avenue and Warden Avenue where there is plenty of free parking. When we got there around 7:00 p.m. the place was only half filled but by 7:30 pm, the place was completely full.
The waiters and waitresses came by rather frequently and within five minutes, they were ready to take our order. Tonight there was the five of us plus our little one. Tonight we decided to go with 4 dishes. The Fish and Vegetarian Plate, Seafood with Rum, Pan Fried Jumbo Scallop with Mushroom and Broil Bean Leaf with Garlic.
The Seafood with Rum arrived first. The plate came with its own gas heater. Inside the bowl, there were mussels, clams, scallops and fish. I have to admit that the mussels were about half the size of what Diana Seafood had served, however the soup base was pretty good. It had a buttery creamy taste to it and you could taste only a tiny bit of rum. It certainly brought out the flavor of the seafood. It also comes with one loaf of bread should anyone wish to dip some bread into the sauce and eat it.

Next to arrive was the Broil Bean Leaf with Garlic. The dish was simple yet quite tasty. Five pieces of garlic were placed on top of the vegetables. The garlic was not overwhelming and it was a good contrast to the seafood.
Next to arrive was the Pan Fried Jumbo Scallop with Mushrooms. This dish smelled good and tasted good. It kind of had a peanut and sesame type flavor to it. The scallops were fairly fresh and nicely seared. Great dish to have at twenty dollars.

The last dish to arrive was a Vegetarian and Fish bowl. The vegetarian part was the wheat gluten. Unfortunately this dish did not meet up to expectations. It was actually a little difficult to eat. The taste was a little bitter although there were no bitter melons in this bowl. Although the fish was okay, it seems the sauce base for this dish was a little bitter. The dish was not overcooked or burnt but just had this really funny taste to it. Certainly not what I had expected and one of our friends who has eaten there many times says that the dish certainly didn’t taste like this before.

Although there was no introductory soup, there was complimentary dessert. You can choose from black sesame soup, red bean soup, green bean soup, almond soup and Guilinggao or herbal jelly. We ordered a little bit of everything. The dessert was fine, not too bland and not too salty
Overall, it was a respectable night. Outside the vegetarian dish everything else seemed pretty decent. Each person chipped in $20 dollars tax and tips included. For this place I give it a 3.75 out of 5.
