Buying steamed buns
Where can I buy (chinese) steamed buns in Montreal? I'm trying to make my own Momofuku-style pork buns!

Try the frozen foods section of a Chinese supermarket. Mantou are pretty easy to find, but the folded over version used for gua bao can be a bit elusive. I saw some once at the store on Clark just south of La Gauchetière, but they weren't there, last time I went. You might have to get regular mantou and slice them open.
If you don't want frozen, a lot of Chinese pastry shops sell fresh mantou, but most of the time they are already stuff with something. I would do the rounds on La Gauchetière. Something tells me the best place to look would be Jardin de Jade Poon Kai.

The buns I'm looking for are not mantou... I should have been more specific. Pictures of the buns are found here (a blog by someone who bought the Momofuku recipe book and made them all) : http://momofukufor2.com/2010/01/momof.... Help please!

Sorry. I thought the gua bao buns and the folded mantou were the same thing. I guess I'm of no help, then.
Good luck with your search.
