| - Ok soooo I had mixed feelings about this place because my friends and I tried a whole range of drinks at this place, and we haven't been impressed by a single one. They were all chatime quality bubble teas: not many options contain real fruit juice, and does contain a lot of sugar.
Average drinks but... We went mostly to chill between friends. It's a nice lounge and closes later than other places (around midnight). There's no way I was going to order food here, judging from the teas.
Anyway, after my friend Jennifer P. visited the bistro and actually tried food, I decided to give it a go. Wow, the pork belly 'bao sandwich' is actually not bad. It had half the usual Chinese flavours, and the steamed bao had a good texture. I rate this 4/5 since I haven't had pork belly bao anywhere else in Montreal.
Now the teas are worth perhaps 3/5 on average. I'd avoid ordering teas that comes with ice cream. The ice cream is actually DILUTED in the tea (wtf?!?!) so it was just a creamy tea.
I love the ambience and decor, there's free wifi, a chalk board wall (yes you can draw on the wall), good lighting, and interesting furniture. Great place for hanging out, Mon Chicha even offers a small menu of cocktails for those who would like a little buzz.
