FINALLY I went to Dim Sum in Montréal with a bunch of friends from work. I can't believe it took so long. I've been here for 18 years!! My friend Laurent chose the spot, a place called Kam Fung that he and his bride-to-be love. It was awesome. We all went into a feeding frenzy as soon as we sat down.

We picked plates after plates and it all came down to $18 a head, tip included. Delicious AND cheap! 

I don't know the real name of every dish for sure, so I'm just going to quickly describe all the tasty bits we ate.
Tea

Shrimp "sheet" dumpling

Pork and shrimp "crepe" dumplings

Crab ball

Spare rib, fried shrimps and green veggies

Fried shrimp dumpling with mayonnaise-type sauce

Peanut and pork dumpling

Sweet crispy dough

Fried fish

Sesame balls with red bean paste

Fried chicken rolls

After dim sum, I went to the movies to see Inception and had a large, overprized soda - $5.24

Dinner was a cheese sandwich and a cupcake

My friend Céline and I had a nice day together. I took her out to brunch and then we went to the market to buy a few things for a Lemon Curd cooking clinic we had planned.
Brunch at Baguette et Bagatelle for two - $30.54


The eggs were overcooked again and they hide the jam under the milk, so my first two toasts went "unjammed". Plus, there's no AC inside. I won't go back.


Food from Marché Maisonneuve - $27 
I had a few of Céline's strawberries

Céline is a commercial producer, but she also has her own "designer cake" business. She is working on a wedding cake right now, so she brought me a half-dozen cupcakes she had baked for a tasting.


Of course, we had a few bites as we cooked.

Dinner was corn on the cob and a Campari and soda


You know you've had too much corn on the cob when you need to take a shower after your meal.

I also had a few neighbours over to share the lemon curd wealth.
