I like their food a lot and their portions are surprizingly big for the price. Of course I wouldn't…read morecall it authentic because the flavors are not overpowering with culture, but it's still a step up from a lot of actual restaurants, buffets, and all you can eat places. It's not bland at all but it's not intense either, it's just very simple and probably due to the low price and the clientel. I wouldn't mind purchasing an order ahead of time and seeing what this lady can do because I get the feeling that she can do a lot more. Most actual restaurants in the entire Montreal island don't do as well as her, so I'm curious. I live really far away, so it would take careful planning if i'm going to drop by just for the food lol.
so far, when it comes to her cooked foods, I've tried her:
- fried noodles with an egg ontop
- fried rice with an egg ontop
- fried sausages, which were really sinfully juicy because I think they were pan fried and not grilled.
Normally I don't like sausages because they're usually bone dry, but these ones were great, eventhough they were more on the greasy side.
Her fried noodles and rice are actually pretty good! Of course they weren't brimming with intense flavour, but at least they were not bland and quite enjoyable. The fried egg ontop was actually pleasant because of it's texture and melting yolks. It's still summer now, so I wonder if she does anything special, or has some kind of a website or something so we can plan. I admit, at first I thought it was odd to see a depaneur serve cooked food lol But this lady is doing something good, because I realized that often when I step into a depaneur for a quick snack, I end up with getting processed junk food, so I'd much rather seeing what's fresh on the menu to keep me going until I get home, I don't even need to eat when I do because her food is quite filling.
One thing I've always remarked was how tired she always seems, yes when I see her, it's normally very late, so I figured that was why. But then one night I witnessed her being robbed of beer by one of the usual street panhandlers that hang out near metros. I felt SO bad x,x I've never liked panhandlers, but now I outright hate them. They should be illegal. I feel like calling the police everytime I see one loitering anywhere. I know they won't do anything right away, but I'm sure that eventually they will get fed up of the calls and do something about it in the areas that get the most complaints.
