Chao Phraya Montreal

Shrimp in Red Curry WIth Coconut Milk and Sweet Basil Leaves
Fully decked out in Christmas lights, Chao Phraya casts a warm glow onto the snowy street outside even though the holiday season has long passed. Hurrying inside to escape the cold on a Thursday night, we were seated almost immediately in arguably the best seats of the house. We were a party of three sitting right by the front window looking out onto Laurier street.

Chicken Pad Thai
Hungering for something cheap and delicious, we stopped by the legendary Cuisine Bangkok for lunch. Located in the low-key setting of the Faubourg right by Concordia University, the restaurant can be found on the top floor and is easy to pick out by the usual lineup of people around lunchtime. Awarded “Best Thai” restaurant in the city by the Mirror, it is no wonder the place is almost always in customer overload. The pad thai here is famous (whether you order it with shrimp, calamari, chicken, beef etc.) as is its eggplant and chicken dish. We ordered one shrimp pad thai and one chicken pad thai, with extra lime. When they ask you for how spicy you want it, be careful. They don’t kid around with the spice level – if you ask for spicy, you’re going to get it. And remember, cash only. For those of you who haven’t tried it yet, stop wasting time!
Le Caractère Chinoise Montreal
Aug 29 2011
This has been a favourite spot of mine for years. It’s close proximity to my apartment and park lafontaine, very friendly staff and unbeatable table d’hote price speak for itself. To top it all off, it’s bring your own wine and they even have a small terrace. I’ve eaten here over 20 times and never had a bad experience. This summer, the restaurant underwent major renovations and this was my first visit back.
Shia Ba Taipei

Shia Bia is at the midpoint of a climbing windy road leading to the top of a mountain overlooking the merging of the freshwater Danshui river and the Pacific Ocean. Part of a resort for golfers, the Chinese restaurant is equipped to handle a capacity of at least 200 diners in its spacious hall.
Asie Moderne Montreal
May 29 2011Asie Moderne Noodle Soup
Often times, the best and most authentic restaurants are found off the beaten path – no matter where you are. Asie Moderne is a little gem tucked away on Poirier street in Ville St-Laurent offering a mix of Cambodian and Thai food. Don’t be put off by the location or the outer condition of the place – the quality and price of the food, not to mention the service is more than enough to make up for the trip out there. The service is reliably quick as the food reaches your table less than five minutes after you order, and the food consistently delivers the same great taste.
