[MTL] Middle-Eastern Brunch Affair – KazaMaza

In case that you didn't know, I love Middle-eastern food, especially the dips. The spices that are used and the aroma fascinated me. Growing up in countries that lack of Middle-eastern foods, I only had the opportunity to try it after I came to Montreal. I was hooked after the first exposure, and KazaMaza was the first Middle-eastern restaurant that I visited 4 years ago.

[MTL] Quick Cuba Getaway – La Habanera

Cuba is a popular destination for vacation. Since I don't quite have the budget to travel just yet, La Habanera allowed me to have a taste of Cuban food. Locating right in the downtown of Montreal, it has soon become a hit spot. The restaurant offers Hawaiian-inspired shareable plates, as well as an extensive cocktail menu.

[MTL] Haitian Love – Agrikol

As a newbie for Haitian food, my verdict after a visit to Agrikol was I loved it! Agrikol is a fairly new restaurant and bar locating in the Gay Village area, which serves some Haitian food with interesting cocktails. It's also one of the few restaurants in Montreal that people start to line up outside before its opening time. If you've never had Haitian cuisine, I suggest that you do!

[MTL] An Enchanting Persian Café – Byblos Le Petit Café

Brunch doesn't always have to be just about omelettes or pancakes. Byblos Le Petit Café, situated a bit east of Station Laurier, is a cozy, neighborhood cafe that is known for the Persian breakfast/brunch. I had such a carb-loaded, and soothing morning there with a friend on a Saturday morning.

[SF] Sharing is Caring – Parada 22

This is what I love the most about San Francisco - the variety of cuisines. Parada 22 is a gem in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, not far from the Golden Gate Park. It serves home-style Puerto Rican cuisine, which I have never thought about such type of cuisine before. Even though the neighborhood is a bit sketchy, and I definitely recommend to go with a friend, nonetheless, the food was hearty, and nice vibe.

[Recipe] Taste of Southeast Asia – Kaya toast with Homemade Butter

Kaya toast is probably one of my favorite Southeast Asian snacks. If you have never heard of "kaya", it's pretty much like a coconut jam. It's a spread, which is made out of sugar, coconut milk, eggs, and pandan leaf, hence the green color. The word "kaya" means rich in Malay, hence represents the texture of the jam. It's creamy, smooth, and full of flavors.

[MTL] Greek to its Finest – Milos

Milos, located in the heart of mile end (in between Ave. St-Viateur and Ave. Fairmount W. on Ave. du Parc), and it has been in Montreal's culinary scene for more than 30 years. Moreover, it is the one and only restaurant that my mom asks to visit over and over again when she's in Montreal. Don't get scared by the $$$$ when you see it on restaurant review websites, because their lunch deal is definitely a steal!

[MTL] Middle Eastern Cuisine in St-Henri – Sumac Restaurant

In recent years, as the plateau mont-royal seems like to get saturated with various restaurants, there is an increasing number of eateries open for business in this area. Sumac is a type of Middle Eastern spice, hence that's what Restaurant Sumac serves. Restaurant Sumac was listed as one of the most anticipated restaurants by Eater Montreal.
