My favourite nephew was hungry and wanted a pizza that had to be gluten-free. Well, Topper’s is the uptown Espanola go to pizza place. I placed an order for the Topper’s Mediterranean Chicken thin cauliflower crust pizza that only comes in medium size for $21.25. Twenty minutes later, I dropped the pipping hot and delicious pizza on my Nephews lap for the car ride home. Because uncle paid, he was one happy kid and I retained Fav Unc status. Tough love in practice!

Visited Happy Yummy for lunch for the first time in a few years, as it's near a cottage I visited. They are focusing less on buffet (now offered on Friday nights only) and more on individual dishes, which I think is a positive change as catering to a hungry buffet crowd constantly is difficult and can reduce quality. Now this place can shine with some of their stand-out dishes. A paper menu, which I guarantee you will be sticky, will help you select your dishes, or combos if you are looking for more value. I ordered 7 different main dishes, plus rice and rolls. As I'm gluten sensitive, I focused my own meal on two of these: the beef in black pepper sauce, and the honey garlic spare ribs. And I'm here to tell you that these dishes are *divine*. Like impossibly good. I took photos after I had finished about half of these myself, which I've added here. My group seemed equally enamored with the sesame chicken, the sweet and sour chicken balls, the lo mein and more. Further, the speed at which the food was served was perfect. Dishes were brought to the table in order of readiness, along with a stack of plates for sharing. This allowed the food to start coming out almost immediately, with more dishes arriving in a nice pace as we ate, creating fun and variety. While this is less economical than ordering individual combo meals, it made for a fun experience and a greater variety of food. Note that Happy Yummy really puts the "family" in family restaurant. A young adult may take your order, and two young children may clear your plates. I say this so you aren't surprised when it happens! While perhaps a bit unusual, they are excellent at what they do and earned an easy 20% tip on a large order. Terrific spot for some delicious Chinese food. If you're in the Espanola area, definitely check this place out!
