The 38 Best Restaurants in Markham, Ontario | Eater

"A warm bowl of congee is perfect any time of day, and no one does it better than this institution of savory rice porridge. Wong Sam founded Sam’s in Hong Kong in 1966 before emigrating with his family to Canada in the 1990s. They set up shop near the Pacific Mall, but in 2018, the family moved the restaurant to its current location, where luscious, silky bowls of comfort are served inside a casual space awash in teal. If you’re unsure about what to order, just go with one of the classics: shredded pork with preserved egg; minced beef with pork’s pudding; or an assortment of minced beef, squid, and pork rind. Do get dough sticks to enjoy with the soup, and absolutely order one of Sam’s first-class handmade rice rolls. [$]" - Faiyaz Kara
