Asian Food Russian Roulette

I have been frequenting what used to be a hole-in-the-wall Noodle Shop since I was in college. 10 Years ago it used to be located near the corner of St Mathew and St Catherine in Montreal Quebec and over the years it has moved from place to place due to fire and condemned buildings. The great thing about all the moves, however, is that each time the restaurant got bigger and better but maintaining the same chef and waitress going back to my college years.

In my Opinion the best way to tell if the cuisine of a certain ethnicity is good or authentic is by how many ethnic people frequent the establishment. Nouille du Chef was certainly no exception then and is certainly the same 10 years later. This being my favorite restaurant in the area I have dined there often and brought along many friends who mostly poke fun at me for ordering the same exact things time after time : Salt and pepper squid and one of their house specialties of Beef Stew.

Since their newest location in 2012 - they added to their menu what used to be on a bulletin board written on panels of construction paper: their house Specialties. A few weeks ago myself and my significant other put ourselves to the challenge of randomly and blindly (since that section of the menu is written in traditional language) order things from this section of the Menu.

Being a foodie that must try everything at least once figured this would be GREAT fun and thus the Asian food Russian Roulette Began. We have been three times since then and have yet to be disappointed but that will be the topic of another blog.
