Pandamtl Hot -

If you’re visiting specifically to see if you can handle the "hot" in PandaMTL, keep an eye out for these staples:

McGill University, Concordia University, and UQAM students have turned "pandamtl hot" into a survival strategy. By ordering between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM (the "lull period"), students report getting full meals (fried chicken, pho, or poutine) for under $10 CAD including delivery. The "Hot" tag in the app signals which restaurants are desperate to move inventory before the dinner rush.

In short, when a Montrealer says, “I just got pandamtl hot,” they mean: “I just ordered a massive, delicious, spicy meal through Foodpanda in Montreal for half the price of what it would cost at the restaurant.”
