Restaurant La Maison Kam Fung

Vegetarian? Are you serious?

This restaurant sells Shark Fin Soup. One bowl is worse than eating a thousand cows and wearing a thousand fur coats. For more information about shark fin soup check the internet, it's filled with it. It is unspeakably cruel and threatens the extinction of sharks, all for a bowl of soup.

No surprise it's illegal in many jurisdictions, but unfortunately it's legal in Quebec. Which is why this restaurant is not shy about putting it on their menu, and even on their website.

It's in a few places on their website, and here's one. Click on their website, then click on "Cantonese/Szechwan", then click on "Soup", then scroll down to #9 - "Braised Shark's Fin".

We went there on a Friday evening, the restaurant was not very busy. We had 2 adults and 2 young children. Service was good enough. They had some vegetarian items in their main menu, but the set menu with vegetarian meals for 4 persons ($48) or 6 persons ($78) is only in Chinese. To make it easy, we just ordered the 4 persons set menu. We were told though, we could also order those items in the set menu separately. The meal came with a soup, rice for 4 (or more), desserts for four and 3 or 4 other main dishes. The soup was really good, we loved it. The big tofu balls were not bad too. There were kind of two dishes with very chinese materials such as black fungus and some white things that we didn't even know what were there. My husband thought some dishes were weird, but i liked them. The portions were all very big. So we ended up to take away all the left over and eaten them for the next 2 meals at home!
