| - Bang-on
I rarely like to admit that my sister is right. But holy mother of dragons, she is.
Over the decade or so she's been in Montreal she's talked about "the best padthai ever". Now, mind you, I'm not a huge Thai food lover.
That said, being as this was likely my last visit to Montreal for the forseeable year or two, I wanted to try it.
We walked to Faubourg, it's sad. It's like the shell of something that used to be. I suppose I would characterize it as ghettofabulous, in that it likely was a busy foodcourt mecca, but fabulous traded up leaving ghetto to fend for itself. It's fending well enough considering there were a lot more people than I expected. And most of those people were eating pad thai. My sister got us the made-to-order tofu pad thai for an easy $8.
Then we took a seat in the clean-ish but likely flithy seats.
Immediately I knew I was in for something special. It doesn't look like your ordinary, and it doesn't taste like it either. It was spicy, fresh, savoury, complex, and all around delicious.
Blew. my. mind.
It was the best pad thai I've ever had.
