Eddies Wok n Roll

In today's world, it is common practice, across cultures, to modify foreign cuisines to suit the tastes of the local foodists. In South Asian countries, for example, Chinese restaurants often serve a spiced up version of the cuisine to the zest-loving masses. This type of hybridization, more commonly known as Hakka Chinese in North America, has spread its roots throughout the continent over the last couple of decades, leading to many a fine dining experience in many a big city in the USA and Canada.

Enough of the introductory rant. The point is, Eddies Wok n Roll, located off the 401 in Mississauga, serves ridiculously delicious Hakka. This is easily one of my favorite Hakka restaurants and I frequent it often enough to bet $5 that you won't be disappointed if you ever pay a visit.

For one, Eddies has the best Chicken Pakoras I have had. Let's just say that I wasn't much of a pakora fan, until Eddies turned me into a believer. Her Wifeness made her pakora debut here and I suspect she might leave me for them one day. Battered, spicy balls of chicken, these taste bud stimulators can get very hot on the inside (temperature-wise), so please do exercise caution when biting into them.

While we're still talking about starters, the thin, spicy Tom Yum soup is probably the best it can get. Portions are huge, so make sure to order the right size.

Chilli Beef

Karachi Chicken

Moving on to entrees, the super spicy (surprise surprise) Karachi Chicken, the milder yet high on the spice Chilli Beef and the Mongolian Chicken are to die for. If you don't try the Chicken Tandoori Fried Rice, you're missing out on one of the finest things in life, no matter how colorful your life is otherwise. We also loved the Beef Hakka Chow Mien from the Noodles section of the menu.

Frankly, there's very little wrong with this restaurant, other than the huge line ups, but that's just an indication of its popularity. I have usually strayed away from the vegetarian and salad menus (nothing against vegetables, just that a lot of their meat dishes give me my required dose of veggies), but everything else that I've had (and I've had a LOT of it) has been excellent.


If you're craving spice, hotness, flavor and even sizzle, Eddies is the place to be.
