Zibo!

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!

Qing Hua: dumpling as good as home-made?

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!

Poutineville: the name that misleads

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.

Le Cristal Chinois – Not an ordinary dim sum place in Mtl

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).

Brit & Chips: 2nd Visit

My first experience at Brit & Chips was memorable! I never was a fan of deep fried fish. I preferred steamed fish – with soya sauce and green onions. However, this mindset was changed when I visited Brit & Chips. The fish was perfectly fried; crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The oil was not overwhelming either! The fries that are served were perfect as well.
However, my 2nd visit was not as good… The fish was too oily for my taste. The mayo was still great though! I also think I had chosen the wrong fish – it was too soft in texture that it broke apart too easily – hard to eat it with the crust together.
