Montreal @ Summer 2011

Montreal, beautiful, romantic and lively. Certainly a beautiful place to be during summer. Here are some quick snapshots to share of the night festivities during summer :-)


KFC Double Down @ Flavour of the Day

One day I was just browsing through websites and came across people talking about the return of the KFC double down. I was curious… what is the double down… it is two slices of KFC chicken with two slices of cheese and two pieces of bacon in between together with Colonel’s sauce. It looks like a burger except there is no bun… that is replaced by the two pieces of chicken. I was excited to try it out… so I got it with a poutine… nice. For me the double down is ok… just that it may be a bit dry… guess this will vary from store to store depending on how much sauce was put on it. Overall I enjoyed it… certainly something different. But I guess a salad would compliment it better though I kind of like poutine more… lol.

Silkworm Pupa @ Flavour of the Day

We were at the Korean convenience store the other day shopping for some Korean food. We came across the can of silkworm pupa a few times before but never really thought of trying it. Out of curiosity, bought a can and decided to try something different. First of all, as we are not familiar with this… naturally… we don’t know how to eat it. One mistake we made… we tried a piece straight out of the can. Then when I was doing a little bit of research before writing this post, I noticed that it is mentioned that the silkworm pupa in cans are usually boiled first before consumption… hmmm… guess we might have consumed a piece of it raw! For me, the first bite was the hardest as I bite on it, the juice or soy sauce absorbed inside literally burst forth. Guess I would prefer to try it deep fried next time or at least have it boiled ^_*
