Scarborough’s Delicious Secrets:
Woks, Broths, and the Suburban Chinatown
Agincourt, also lovingly known as ‘Asiancourt’, is the beating heart of East Asian dining in Toronto, where unassuming strip plazas hide some of the most dynamic regional cooking in North America. But what is the culinary history here? And what brought them to Agincourt? How has four decades of immigration, entrepreneurship, and cultural exchange transformed what we eat, and how we understand this neighbourhood today?
On this tour, we will follow the flavours and stories that have shaped Agincourt across generations: from the fragrant lemongrass and herb-infused noodle broths of Vietnam, to deeply comforting, slow-simmered Korean pork-bone stews. We'll explore how northern Chinese charcoal-grilling traditions took hold alongside Cantonese staples as we sample cumin-dusted skewers and smoky street-style barbecue, before ending on a sweet note with a rich, multi-textured matcha parfait!
Choose your adventure: Join us for the 12pm - 2:30pm or the 3:30pm - 6pm tour, with each experience offering the same delicious journey through Highland Creek!
Hungry for more? This experience is just one chapter in our Scarborough’s Delicious Secrets food tour series! Together, we’ll explore lesser-known neighbourhoods in Scarborough to taste iconic dishes, meet the multicultural families behind the counters, and unpack the deep, fascinating histories that continue to shape Scarborough’s ever-evolving food scene.
