| - Verdun is continuing her streak at becoming Montreal's new foodie haven!
Came here yesterday with a friend for dinner and was floored by the quality of the food, the taste and the price. Yes, the decor is quite spartan but when your mouth and tongue are living in Technicolor because of the flavors, who cares?
We ordered dumplings in hot sauce (almost a stew), green beans coated in red chillies and meat, and a sliced beef with tofu and chilli sauce (again, could almost be eaten as a stew) over rice.
No joke, I broke out into a sweat because of the heat factor in the food, but this is the funny part. even though the food was spicy and hot, you could keep eating it, you didn't have to run for milk or yogurt to cool off the palate in order to continue eating, unlike some Thai and Indian places I've gone to, when the food is so bloody scorching, that you end up filling up with water instead of the food.
The lone waitress who served us, could neither speak very good English or French, but spoke some broken form of the two, but despite that, we were still able to understand each other, besides, she's really sweet and service is friendly, which is always a plus.
I'm going to become a regular.
