Don’t we all wish to be born with perfect health and physique that we could eat whatever we want and not gain a pound or suffer from our diet? Unfortunately, this is only true for a few lucky ones. For most of us, we are what we eat. The best chance we might get is not having an allergy.

As our living conditions become much cleaner than what it used to be many years ago, our antibodies become weaker. We are prone to allergies. The newest one on the block is gluten. It is a substance that exists almost in everything; or so we thought. Fortunately, there is Asian cuisine. Who hasn’t had a bowl of Thai curry yet? It can be done without any gluten in it. And that’s why we, La Petite Mangue, offer gluten free catering in Montreal.

Asian food does contain this substance in a good amount of ingredients. However, there are so many alternatives without it. For instance, rice is a major staple in our cooking. It doesn’t contain gluten. Rice has been used in making noodles, flour and so many other products. To season, among hundreds of spices and herbs, we also use soya sauce. Recently, we start seeing more and more gluten free options for this popular item in many grocery stores. Fish sauce is another great alternative that we cook with on regular basis. It adds a great bold flavor to a dish. As for Asian desserts, when clients are allergic or are on gluten free diet, we use fresh fruits with coconut milk and palm sugar to create a wonderful fruit salad. We also work a lot with combining rice and sticky rice flour with fruits or beans or other fresh produce to create a sweet treat. One of the most popular sweets we offer is pumpkin square with coconut milk. We also offer a variety of gluten free cakes.

So before you settle with minimal options out there, give us a call!!!!

Call us today to plan your next event, we’ll ensure that you have a full menu with great gluten free options for everyone

Ever heard the expression sharing is caring? It’s been used over and over in food reference context, but have you ever stopped to think where it came from?

At La Petite Mangue, we were debating amongst each other that it might have originated in Asia. Although all of us are from different parts of Asia – China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka- we share a very similar philosophy when it comes to family meals. We came from places where making ends meet and putting food on the table for some families was a struggle. It still is these days for some.

As the day begins, each family member is off to their respective task. We come together at the end of the day to eat and share our meals together; whether it’s a little or a lot. It is in a form of small buffet with food at the center of the table and each person has an empty plate that they can use. We talk about our day and laugh about the little things that happen.

Culturally, we don’t pray before eating, but there’s no doubt that we’re grateful for our meals and companies. We share what we’ve got; thus the saying “Sharing is caring”.

As an Asian caterer in Montreal, we take preparing food to heart. When we cater a buffet, we prepare it like how we would for our family meals; with the appreciation of the ingredients and the care of the ones who consume the food.

We look forward to be your buffet caterer and create a homemade food experience for your event!
