I really enjoyed being in beautiful Quebec City this past week and even had the chance to stop by Trois Rivieres and Montreal on my way back. A couple years ago I spent a few weeks in Trois Rivieres studying French at the University of Quebec and it was really nice to be back there after all this time. I even had the chance to have the most amazing Caesar salad of my life at this little Italian place on the downtown strip.
Montreal was fantastic as well, and particularly so because I had an amazing dinner at an awesome Indian restaurant called Atma. It was a gorgeous little place on the plateau and the food was just simply to die for. Since then I've decided that I love Indian food almost as much as I love Persian food, and that's definitely saying a lot.
Which brings me to a few weekends ago that I spent at Shima and Ram's wedding, remember I told you all about the lovely two days I spent with them? Well, they had some fabulous food and it should be noted that the majority of the food was NOT Persian. The Persian restaurant that they had ordered from (called Shomal or North Restaurant) was a no-show on the second day and quite rude to Shima on several occasions.
It saddens me to have to give Shomal some bad publicity, but even though the food is usually quite fantastic, they definitely need to step it up on the customer service department. I can't imagine how stressed Shima must have felt on her special day without having to deal with mean people on the phone all afternoon. The worst part is that the food didn't even show up, and had she not been so smart and relied solely on their catering services, her wedding plans would have been ruined.
I just hope that Shomal realizes that you can't do stuff like that to people. It's just not right.
Now, I'm sorry for the digression, but the topic of food always gets me excited and ahead of myself. In fact so much so that I didn't even get the chance to mention that today's photo is of me in Montreal, in a pretty paisley number that I picked up from a trendy boutique called Honest Ed's. Ha! If you live in Toronto you'll know that Honest Ed's is no trendy boutique... just go ahead and Google it ;)
If you can tell me exactly how much I paid for this top, I'll give you a prize.
