food-zen: September 2005

http://foodzen.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html

Somewhere between gluttony and abstinence WWW.FOOD-ZEN.COM. Monday, September 26, 2005. So right off the bat I love this restaurant. The décor, clean, red and black with a hardwood floor. A bar and a few tables at the front with steps up to a dining area at the back. After a bit of Sing Tao we embark on our meal. Steamed pork dumplings with Szechwan and chilli vinegar dipping sauces come in a little bamaboo dim sum steamer. Four little soup dumplings (tang bao? Billing your General Tao chicken as the bes...

Somewhere between gluttony and abstinence WWW.FOOD-ZEN.COM. Saturday, August 20, 2005. Fous Dessert and Brulerie aux 4 vents. Got up too early to pack for my trip. The cafe down the street was closed so we heared up to Marche Jean Talon. On the way we stopped by "Fous Dessert" because their chocolate banana croissants and chausson aux pommes are just too good to pass up. We fought in the car because Sean wanted to eat them right away. Nope, have to wait for the coffee. Friday, August 19, 2005. Thursday, ...

food-zen: April 2005

http://foodzen.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html

Somewhere between gluttony and abstinence WWW.FOOD-ZEN.COM. Thursday, April 28, 2005. Both from "Qui Lait Cru" , a shop in Marché Jean Talon in Montreal which is a great homage to cheese. it is spotless and well staffed with informed if slighlty haughty staff. All in all a very nice cheese. Texture is very nice too, not grainy, but breaks apart easily, crumbles in the mouth. Various recipes suggest using it in salads, grumbles on top of coked veg or on top of pasta. sexy. Wednesday, April 27, 2005. While...

After I had mentioned the salad rolls it was too late, Steph was hooked. try as I might to suggest alternatives, sandwiches, roti, or anything else, Vietnamese it was to be. So I trudged 5 blocks to Laurier and du Parc to investigate Au Cyclo. The salad rolls were nice and warm, freshly rolled, not rolled at 9 in the morning and forgotten about. Apart from that, nothing really special. The ban ...All i...

Somewhere between gluttony and abstinence WWW.FOOD-ZEN.COM. Sunday, November 27, 2005. La Chronique , Montreal. Well to be quite frank I didn’t think that it would be that expensive. When my more affluent friend Nick heard I had made a reservation he looked at me and said Really? 2) Seared tuna with tempura shrimp. Incomplete notes, I remember that umm. tuna is endangered, even good quality tuna like this. 4)Foie gras with wild mushroom risotto and veal jus. Loved the foie. Risotto was toothsome ...5) Ve...
