ChineseBites signature dishes tour dinner #11 at Fortune City Seafood Restaurant in Hastings-Sunrise on July 17, 2013.
We ventured to the far Eastside for this ChineseBites dinner outing and returning to the traditional multi-course style banquet dinner. Fortune City is a little hidden, upstairs in the Hastings-Sunrise Chinese shopping centre.
After ten dinners, we finally had some world famous Peking duck, a staple of Chinese banquet dinners. This was a tasty, very meaty dish, living up to its ubiquity and popularity. To quote this Yelp review, the duck was "pretty awesome".
Served "two-ways", the rest of the duck meat was used as the filling in our lettuce wraps. This variety had Chinese sausages (unusual) and I'd say was decent but still being a little bland and just okay.
I found the assorted seafood and winter melon good but a little derivative of all the complementary seafood and vegetable dishes (not pictured). All were fairly standard and delectable yet easily interchangeable.
Their house special chow mein was definitely ridiculous in portion size and beyond filling with a nice mix of chicken and seafood. It had a good consistency and mix healthy between dry and crunchy parts with an appropriate sauciness for mixing together (essential for the noodles). I usually find deep fried crispy chicken pretty boring and generic, but Fortune City's was pretty flavourful and not too salty, fatty, or greasy (compared to most Chinese restos). The chicken was moist and tasty with a desirable crispy crunch to it.
In all, this was an okay, fairly standard (if unremarkable) Chinese dinner with a few above average to solid dishes. Most of the food was satisfactory but without too many highlights. A few of the other dishes were somewhat bland or just unmemorable. Luckily, the meatier and seafood ones mostly made up for it.
