Swatow Plaza — Local services in Montreal

Came here to eat at the Lanzhou noodle...it was okay... I think Taiwanese beef noodle or Vietnamese pho tastes better. Also, the chili oil on the table does not taste like the Cantonese Chiu chou chili oil but tastes more vinegary. I am not sure what ingredients they use.

The washroom is on the second floor of the mall way in the back left side....luckily it had a code to get into women's washroom. The 2nd floor is basically empty except for one shop.

We go to the shaman to read our hand and tell us our future. We go to the foot massage parlor and then we visit the Beautifull and lovely...

Went there on a Saturday for Dimsum. We sat at the table for 10 minutes, nobody came to see us. We hailed a waiter, asked if there are any dimsum carts going around. He brought us a menu, told us to check our choices, the plates are made to order he says, then left us to do the selection. We looked at the menu, selected our choices, waited another 10 minutes...nobody came. We left. Worse resto experience ever. They seem to have a discrimination towards non-chinese...
