| - Was on my way to a nearby Asian haunt on de Maisonneuve when a glimpse inside this cute place stopped me in my tracks. Peeked inside and the warm decor suggested there was something special here, and my resto radar did not disappoint. Run by a friendly welcoming family, the menu consists of a few simple choices (General Tao, Dumplings, a selection of sandwiches, a nicely varied tea list) as well as a range of delicate pastries for dessert. Arriving at the end of the day, I was expecting nothing more than your average food-court General Tao experience, but this was a cut above. Prepared to order, served with freshly fried rice, delicious sauteed cabbage and a small dish of chili paste, the dinner knocked my socks off. The man and woman who run the place were super friendly and nice to chat with. The atmosphere is perfect for a meal, dessert, studying or gathering with friends. They have a very nice selection of tea paraphernalia too (teapots and high quality loose teas from Camellia Sinensis). I will definitely be back!
