I just got takeout from one of the places on the list – Teochew Foodie. They serve a very specific type of regional Chinese cuisine (Teochew/Chiu Chow) that is hard to find outside of Hong Kong and Guangdong. I never thought I’d see it here in Montreal. If the idea of things braised in soy sauce appeals to you (duck gizzards, chicken, pork, tofu, egg), it’s delicious and worth seeking out.

ooh, they have chow fun, but it’s all the way down in the Hank.

They do a weekly delivery run every Sunday morning, so if you put in an order before then, you can enjoy some this weekend! I think there’s a minimum charge but you can pad out your order with frozen dumplings and refrigerated dishes (the lou mei is cold and keeps well for a few days).

See, I was hoping that they would have Teochew dumplings, the ones that the Cantonese call Chiu Chow Fun Gao, but I don’t see them. And none of the grocery stores seem to stock them. I can get them at Kam Fung, but I was hoping someone else had them as well.
