I remember the time when Oysters, Crab and Lobster were only available in season. I have to admit that I miss those days as it felt like a treat when it was finally available. But then there are snowy winter days where you feel like treating yourself and that’s when I really don’t mind having […]
I shared my view on chicken in the past and yes I’m more a fan of rotisserie than fried chicken, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like it. Some fried chicken I find taste just too oily and greasy with tasteless batter. I have to be honest I was not looking for fried chicken when […]

When it comes to Chinese food there’s the buffet level, the 4am after clubbing level and the I’m in the mood for real good Chinese food level. Szechuan Par Mr Ma falls in the latter category. For those of you who experience Mr. Ma at Place Ville Marie, it’s the same people behind it but […]

Ahh burgers… I have that love/hate relationship with them. I love the taste and everything you can put in them but I always feel guilty because they’re associated to junk food. I guess it’s one of the reasons that when I have a burger I always try to get a real good one. Let’s rewind, […]

A snowy winter can be beautiful but the chilling minus temperatures can be really hard on everyone, what better way to get over those cold days then with a good warming soup. Personally a soup won’t fill me up so I always need something else if I don’t want to get hungry too quickly. That’s […]
What really made me homesick when I was away from Montreal for long period of time, was the local foods we’re use too. Of course there’s local dishes that are typical, but I can’t believe how hard finding Rotisserie Chicken vs Fried Chicken can be. That’s why ordering Rotisserie Chicken from one of the main […]

Vietnamese food is one of my favorite when talking about Asian food, it’s light and fresh and makes me feel like I’m eating healthy. One restaurant I only had visited once before, as I’m not often in that neighborhood was Le Red Tiger. I went with friends and we had ordered lots of dishes from […]
Since walking is pretty much the only activity open to all parks are getting busy. I’ve walked the Old Port, the Mont-Royal and it’s packed all the time. There’s another place too that you can now take walks at, the Botanical Garden. Obviously the indoor gardens are closed but the outside ones are open and […]
I love Asian food, I always find it filled with taste and satisfying, one of my favorite dish are dumplings. There’s a lot of places that offer dumplings but not all places do it right. I had discovered a few years ago Mai Xiang Yuan location in Chinatown and I was disapointed to see it […]

A couple of weeks ago I had a craving and since Covid prevented gathering and I couldn’t get my dose of home cooked Haitian food I decided to order from Agrikol. If you’ve never had caribean food it’s definitely missing in your culture. I’m no rookie to it myself as it was probably 25 years […]
