If there's one thing Michelle Yeoh loves about Toronto, it's the food.

The Oscar-winning actress spent several months in Toronto filming Star Trek: Section 31 and when she wasn't in front of the camera, Yeoh was dining at various restaurants in the city.

From a Singaporean cafe to one specializing in French-inspired pastries, the Crazy Rich Asians actress tried numerous dishes at each spot she dined at.

Kiss My Pans shared an Instagram post on Sunday which revealed the actress was leaving the city after she wrapped up filming her latest project.

"Thanks for having your last meal here before you fly home. We’ll miss your face around here. Please come back to Toronto soon," the post reads.

Here's a look at all the restaurants Yeoh visited during her time in Toronto.

Kiss My Pans

Price: 💸-💸💸

Address: 713 College St, Toronto

Cuisine: Singaporean cafe

Why You Need To Go: Kiss My Pans is a Singaporean cafe inside a cheese shop in Toronto's Little Italy neighbourhood.

The cafe offers a Singaporean brunch as well as desserts and it's a favourite of Yeoh's as she dined there several times while she was in Toronto.

In an Instagram post, the cafe thanked Yeoh for her support "week after week" after her various "dine-ins and take outs."

"Felt kinda surreal having her in our space again and again but yet it felt familiar at the same time. It was like seeing an old friend because that’s just how she makes others feel. There are always hugs, jokes and warmth," the post reads.

The cafe shared that Yeoh stopped by for one of her first visits in January.

At the time, Kiss My Pans told Narcity the Everything Everywhere All At Once actress was "very friendly" and ordered the laksa, beef rendang, hor fan, bak kut teh and iced kopi.

"She was very excited to see that we had Kueh Salat and asked if we made it in-house. She also ordered the roasted chicken rice and a tub of sambal to go," the restaurant said.

The actress also dropped by for a visit in January and celebrated the Lunar New Year there in February.

The Toronto bakery was also part of Yeoh's food tour. The actress dropped by in January and tried the shop's new sausage, potato and spinach galette.

"She came by this morning to pick up some treats for her hardworking crew and was thrilled to see that we’re doing well," the bakery said in an Instagram post after sharing that it had been five years since her first visit.
