PARIS: Plats

Chicken Breast in Cream Sauce with Basmati Rice

Salmon Tartar! French version of sashimi

Pork Chop - so juicy

Japanese food! Curry Katsu <3

PARIS: sweets & dessert

Had a hard time deciding between this and the chocolat hazelnuts. Ended up getting this white chocolate nougat. love the box.

Berthillion ice cream - supposedly the best ice cream in Paris/France? 2 scoops for 6,80 euros at Le Bosquet (!!) Moka (very rich) and vanilla (super sweet). Love the plating!!

Macarons (coffee, chocolate, strawberry), Peach Tart, Pain du Chocolat from the local boulangerie/patisserie. Macarons are reaaally sweet and sticky.

Big meringues in store display.

Jeff de Burges fraise x vanille ice cream! loveeeee it.

The best tiramisu!! (Cafe du Marche) love it!! most of it is cream, which was delicious. the cake part was delicious too. different from north american .. this one is not soggy and cannot taste the alcohol. want to recreate this really pretty.

Best creme brulee, also from Cafe du Marche. soo creamy texture, served cold.

PARIS: Crepes, Gaufres, Chocolat Chaud

Just returned from Paris yesterday. Next few posts will be dedicated to some of the food highlights of my trip.

Creperie @ Rue Cler. Jambon et fromage. 4 euros.

yum yum yum. so much cheese. so gooey.

Another crepe place. This time a sweet crepe - Chocolat et banane. 3,50 euros. nice and warm~ I like the other crepe place better though because this one was too thick and tasted more like a pancake than crepe imo.

Waffle / Gaufre @ cafe near Notre Dame. Only tried a few bites, but it was pretty good if I can remember clearly. Much different from Amercian/Belgium waffles (fluffy, eggy, soft), this French one is harder/more dense and sweeter.

Hot Chocolate / chocolat chaud @ PAUL. American hot chocolate = flavoured powder + hot water. Paris hot chocolate = tastes like melted chocolate, literally. It is thick and rich, full of chocolate flavor, probably chunks of real chocolate melted in.

Green Bamboo

Cuisine: Vietnamese (/Thai)
Interior: modern, small
Price: $$

Yesterday we went to Green Bamboo for lunch. Don't judge a restaurant by its sign! Small little restaurant beside a spa and a fish store, with a name plate that is not very eye-catching. This led me to expect a dirty, plain old restaurant, somewhat like Golden Mango. But when we went inside, I was pleasantly surprised by the modern decor. Medium wood tables, Dark wood chairs. Two of the walls were replaced with windows, one is where the bar is, and the remaining wall is painted light green. Definitely very 'bamboo' feel.

Pad Thai - Delicious!!! Green onion, onion, red and green bell pepper, shrimp, chicken, peanuts...!

Fu kien style Noodle?? Miki Noodles x Vermicelli? Can't remember the name of this noodle, but it was a mix of two types of noodles, with shrimp, fish ball, squid, in clear broth.

Deep Fried Eggplant - so good!! Spicy and a tad oily, but I ate so much.

We went back for dinner again tonight. I ordered this Basil Curry Chicken (椰汁咖喱雞) with rice. Delicious! I love that coconut curry sauce. It was soooo delicious. The chicken was a bit tough and some of the rice was hard, but I love the sauce!

Yogoberri

Green Tea Yogurt-Ice Cream w frozen mangoes, strawberries, blueberries (Medium) cost me almost $6! That's double the price of Yogen Fruz, and it wasn't that outstanding in taste. But the presentation is nice, and the cafe is nice so I guess the extra cost is for the environment.

Waffle with ice cream and fruits. I didn't try this but it looks very nice, very colourful presentation.

Yogoberri does not have a wide range of menu selection. They serve primarily yogurt-icecream, waffles, coffee, and cake. It is a very popular spot for people to sit and chat. Their cakes and other mini bakery items look very delicious and unique, but they are so expensive I did not purchase any.
