Montreal’s Best Malaysian Street Food at Restaurant Canada Best

by Jason April 2, 2024
written by Jason

So what’s a “hidden gem” you ask? Great question. Wikipedia defines it as, “Something possessing a value or beauty that is not immediately apparent, which therefore has received far less recognition than it deserves.” In my world, insert the words “delicious” and you’ve got my mandate in finding the best eateries the city has to offer. Sure, writing about the newest and trendiest restaurants are fun, but what’s even funner is putting you on to places that no one talks about because they’re not trending or have a fun PR marketing hashtag. The places where the food is honest and the people are humble and more often than not the back table is occupied by a kid doing homework or grandma sorting vegetables.

This week I checked out a quaint mom and pop shop in Parc-Ex serving up delicious Malaysian dishes. I’m excited to talk about this place where not only do they fill out the criteria of being a hidden gem, but possibly Canada’s hidden gem – check out Restaurant Canada Best.

Dumplings in Parc Ex – Jiu Xiang Dumpling

by Jason April 16, 2014
written by Jason

I love dumplings. I don’t know many people who don’t like dumplings – that’s only because I don’t have time for people like that in my life and can’t be bothered to befriend them. I will go where the dumplings are; near or far, if there are delicious bundles of meat wrapped in flour dough and served with sauce, you’ll probably find me there, pulling out a seat for you. I’m a dumpling gypsy – not a gypsy dumpling; I can only imagine those things being made with lots of yak cheese and questionable meat. So roaming the city and following my nose for my next dumpling haunt, you can imagine how surprised I was when my nose led me into a repurposed sports bar in a neighbourhood known for Indian restaurants.

Montreal Asian Grocery Store Round Up

by Jason March 31, 2014
written by Jason

A friend of mine once asked me for a fried rice recipe and I gave them my trusty chicken fried rice with gai lan recipe. I followed up with them the next day to see how it went and they said it was good, but something was different. They asked me what “gai lan” was and I explained to them that it was Chinese broccoli. They said that they weren’t able to find it at their local grocery store and used regular fleurette broccoli and that by using soy sauce, would rationalize it as being “Chinese“. After I stopped pounding my head against the wall, I tried to figure out if the problem was my friends or the fact that I didn’t specify where to get the ingredients… especially after I found out that their pantry soy sauce was the kosher-gluten-free variety.

About Me

People get hungry and need to find good places to eat... I am people, and here are the places I've found. This is a log of my endeavors set forth to discover the hidden gems of the city I call home, Montreal. I vow to not leave one hot pot lid unturned, snail shell hollowed, or souvlaki foil emptied until I can safely say that I ate my way across Montreal. It's a big claim, but it's one I'm making.
