Blooming Garden

What is Blooming Garden? Located inside Unit 106A at Woodside Square (1571 Sandhurst Circle) in Scarborough, Blooming Garden (榮華苑) is a bustling, high-volume Cantonese dining hall built for neighbourhood regulars and multigenerational families. The bright, no-frills dining room features classic banquet-style round tables with lazy Susans alongside perimeter booths tailored for rapid turnover. It splits its identity between a morning Hong Kong cafe serving quick breakfast plates and an evening kitchen tossing heavy-hitting wok dishes.

Blooming Garden Menu & What to Order Expect an expansive Cantonese menu spanning morning congee combos, barbecue meats, and sizzling clay pot specials. Signature orders include the aromatic Sizzling Eel in Clay Pot and the rich Braised Lamb Brisket with Bean Curd Sticks, both loaded with deep savoury sauces. For texture, the soy-glazed Stir-Fried Goose Intestines offer supreme crunch and wok hei, while appetizers like the crisp Golden Bite-Sized Tofu and Salted Egg Yolk Squid shine alongside an iced Hong Kong milk tea.

Know Before You Go Tables are largely seat-yourself or managed via quick walk-in queues, with peak dinner hours and weekend mornings drawing lines for larger family tables. Woodside Square provides extensive free surface parking, and the McCowan and Finch bus routes stop directly outside the mall. The kitchen fires up daily from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., complete with a discounted morning special served until 11:00 a.m.
