I came to know about Restaurant Day because my friend and her friends were opening a Malaysian restaurant called Mamak Montreal. With a little more than 30$, we had a full meal course for 3 people! The food was one of a type, that can’t be found anywhere else in Montreal. True authenticity!

Menu:
– Kaya & Butter Toast (Coconut Jam & Butter on Toast) – on the right
– Roti Jala dan Kari Ikan (Lacy Pancake with Fish Curry) – on the left
– Kuih Sago (Sago Dessert Snack) – bottom
– Kuih Bingka (Cassava Cake) – bottom
– Michael Jackson (Soy milk with grass jelly) – top left
– Hot Milo (Malaysians’ equivalent of Quik) – top right

The most memorable has to be Kaya and butter toast. I was horrified at the scene of a thick slice of butter between the 2 slices of toast, but they reassured that once I taste it, I would understand why the butter was needed. The coconut jam and the butter go so well together. I actually forgot about the existence of the thick butter.

Were you able to find some gems during Restaurant Day? Let me know!
