As part of his Hidden Gems journey, CanCulture’s multimedia editor Ronald Chen explores Great Fountain Fast Food, a Hong Kong restaurant in the heart of Scarborough, Ont.

Great Fountain is a family-owned restaurant located in a hidden food court in the Dynasty Centre food court on 8 Glen Watford Dr. They offer a wide range of food items from traditional Hong Kong dishes and fusion Chinese-Western style cuisines at affordable prices. With an accumulated total of over 7,000 followers across social platforms, they post daily content of food, promotions, and food reviews.

As a Chinese Canadian, Great Fountain provided good home comfort food that felt very nostalgic to me. In this video, I travelled to Great Fountain to try out their food and got the opportunity to interview the owner’s daughter, Anna Peng.
