Markham is slowly becoming saturated with Hakka restaurants.
The latest I've come across is Hakka Legend.
Their menu is extensive with plenty of variety. For the classic and safe bet we tried their hakka chow main and chili chicken.
Chili chicken was lovely, slightly Crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
Their noodles were flavorful, but the texture/shape resembled somewhat like spaghetti.

Do note, I was disappointed that they do not include rice with any entrees, while other Hakka restaurants do offer it free of charge. This can pose as a deterrence as they will need to contend against Frederick's located in the next plaza over that's already got it loyal clientele.
Ground Burger Bar
2024 Jan 10
Popular burger joint in downtown New Market just steps From the ice rink.
Known for their burgers and beers, I opted to try their GBB smash which is among the popular. Excellent choice as it was juicy and tender.
Even though it came with a slide of fries, I also stole some sweet potato fries off my wife. Overall, the place is fun and bustling during peak dinner and weekend.
Great hiking path that's close to home.
There's always parking and the trails are clearly indicated.
Plenty of evidence of wildlife (beavers).
Local staple that's been here for decades.
Popular for their award winning HK milk tea, Marathon has a few locations scattered throughout the GTA.
Their menu has your typical HK breakfast and tea time menu/snacks (2:30pm-5)
Set up is self-serve, you pay at the front, take your set and when they call you by your receipt number they'll either serve you or you'd retrieve it at the counter.
Prices are very reasonable and tea is rich and smooth!!!
The Glass Onion
2023 Aug 11
On our 2nd night in Falmouth, we decided to treat ourselves after a full day on the Vineyard.
The Glass Onion has been a local staple based on the reviews, so we decided to give this place a try.
The interior is intimate and perfect for special occasions and family dinners.
Warm tone colors and classic decor the place is cozy.
The service was superb, friendly, and attentive, and thankfully, they were able to provide us with recommendations.
For drinks we shared a bottle of savignon blanc and their crab cakes.
For food they've got a great selection of seafood and seasonal dishes.
