5 stars for something not very common. regional chinese abounds and really excels in vancouver. came here for the jian bing and dou fu nao. both go together very well. the savory spicy silky tofu was nice, and the crepe had bits of crispy chinese dough that was excellent. President Plaza is across the street second floor from the aberdeen centre.

O'Tray was highly recommended by the hard core chowhound food experts
for it's regional cuisine. The first night we arrived at 6:05 pm and
he said he was closed. The second day we arrived at 9:30 (their
opening time) but food wasn't really ready til closer til 10 am.
Despite these hiccups, it's hard to argue with the prices and the very
regional cuisine made here. We ordered the tian jin wrap, a sorta egg
crepe wrapped around fried dough and filled with black bean like
paste. It was hot, freshly made and delicious. Nicely priced at
$3.50.
Next we paired it with the recommended soft tofu soup. This was a
winner. Silken tofu was paired with a wonderful spicy and hot broth.
It was a perfect snack for the morning and did really go well with the
crepe. Great price at $3.75.
President's Plaza doesn't have much else notable but this place is a
nice treat.

* Tianjin specialist *
This little food stall in the rather empty and abandoned President Plaza food court offers a nice selection of Tianjin specialty items all very reasonably priced. I'm not clear the origin or meaning of the name - which seemed a bit unusual - but the food was very tasty.
The jiangrou kaobing (Tianjin burger) was served on a crispy flaky almost biscuit like bread which was freshly made and piping hot. The meat itself was quite tender and was contrasted with some green onions to make a very pleasant filling. Very reasonable at $2.75. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
The doufunao (savoury tofu pudding) was a generous serving of their housemade soft tofu, which was incredibly silky. It was in a meat broth which had been thickened a bit with I believe corn starch. There were bits of wood ear fungus and bamboo shoots throughout the broth, and it was topped with green onions and cilantro. They also added several sauce punches on top including a lovely sesame paste, a fermented bean sauce, and plenty of chili. This all combined into a very complex flavour that highlighted the smoothness of the tofu extremely well. Delicious dish for a very reasonable $3.75. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
The jianbing (Chinese crepe, listed as a Tianjin wrap on the menu in English) was really really eggy. It was filled with bean paste, chili, cilantro, and green onions along with a generous amount of fried Chinese dough to give it a pleasant crunch. Reasonable as well at $3.75. Let's just say it tastes better than it looks though: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
Lots more hidden treats on the menu here. I look forward to returning!Listed in: Vancouver Chinese Food, Which wich is which?, Engrish
