But once it hit room temp, the texture - which was carrying the dish - disappeared and all that was left was the taste. While it was hot, it was good.

We found lots of good food later, especially in Chinatown, which was all of three blocks from our hotel. I have two more Canadian food posts coming up.

I can believe it. I've never been to Montreal, but we did spend a few days in Quebec City. Quebec seemed very dull, but the food was good. Everywhere we went, fresh, seasonal ingredients, well prepared. It was like bad food was not allowed inside the city limits. At that time the $Can was worth nothing, so it was cheap, too. I'd guess Montreal was similar, except the exchange rate is probably not as favorable now. “And mais oui, did I improve on that lunch.”
