Less than a week after the recent pizza takeout order, I was craving pizza again. I guess I just didn’t get enough pizza that first round. :9

Hai Tang Cafe & Takeout located at 38 Buttonfield Rd in Markham
July 1, 2020: For dinner for the long weekend holiday, we decided to get takeout from a local Chinese restaurant which has recently become a favourite for us over the past couple of months.
The first blog post I wrote about Hai Tang Cafe & Takeout was in 2015 (which you can read here). Since that visit, I have visited them a number of times both for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner.
