food

Mr. Butter brought me to one of his favorite restaurant a while ago – Marven’s. As a south shore resident, I would have never known this little gem as it is located in some residential area of Parc.

What surprises me was that although we arrived there at 10pm…it was still fully pack!! What!

Overlooking the cleanliness of the place and service (let’s say it could be a bit better but it is not horrible either), the food was great and were given in HUGE portion!

It has been a while I haven’t enjoyed Greek cuisine this much!

Oh and, don’t forget to ask for the Marven special sauce!! It is a magical sauce! It makes everything 10x better!

The infamous calamari dish! They are sooo generous with their portion! This appetizer can be shared between 6 people easily! I like how they are not overly deep fried!

 Lamb…It was good. But it was slightly too burnt for my taste although Mr. Butter loved it that way.

 And a wrap – which i forgot which meat i took…It was sooo goood. But I was so full and so overwhelmed by the amount of food served to us.

I swear…every plate could be shared by at least 2 people!!!

Zibo has become one of my favorite restaurants to go to in Dix30. Although some may consider it slightly pricey, but for the ambiance, the service and quality of food. I think the price is fair.

Plus, their desserts are incredibly delicious!

No doubt, my favorite dumplings are the ones we made at home. From the dough to “folding” the dumpling together.

But, I came across Qing Hua which specializes in dumplings with all kinds of flavours! I am a dumpling loooover and I really approve of this place. Really close to the dumplings I make at home.

I highly suggest the fried pan ones and then the steamed ones. Fried ones cost 1.50$ more, if I remember correctly! But it’s worth it 🙂 And the pork filling ones are especially good (or maybe i’m just used to eat my dumplings with pork meat…)

The appetizers could be passed…They are just average.

I would definitely come back for this place when my family is too lazy to make some dumplings and that i am craving for dumplings BIG TIME!

My favorite fast food? Poutine, it has to be!

Ever since I heard about the restaurant Poutineville, I had been dying to try it! But that’s how far the exitement gets….because once I had my poutine at Poutineville…my excitement dies down.

No, it does not taste horrible. But it is just your average poutine. Nothing special (other than that sauce with wine and home-made smashed potato you can opt for your poutine).

I chose the one with Italian sausage and hot pepper.

Dim sum is my last choice of food that I would go for in Montreal. There isn’t any good one. I would go simply with family friends or when I crave for that nostalgic food.

With Le Cristal Chinois, the scene of dim sum has changed a bit. More surprises! More choices and dishes that I have never seen before. And what’s better? They actually taste good. But…don’t expect the price to be the same as other Dim Sum restaurants…it’s pricier than what we are used to pay for dim sum (but still very reasonable for restaurant in general).
