Lai Wah Heen’s formal room resembles a cruise ship dining hall, but the meticulous service feels like a top Hong Kong hotel. Crab is prepared Shanghai- style: the meat is stirred into a cloud-like mousse of egg white and returned to the shell, the legs deep-fried in a spiced batter. The textures are interesting, but the dish is bland. Lobster escalope represents the southern avantgarde: a tail is sliced lengthwise and draped across a salad of diced fruit in yogurt dressing; a tangy mango sauce dominates the plate. Lunchtime dim sum is perhaps the best in Toronto. A pricey wine list offers just enough aromatic whites to meet the needs of the cuisine.
