Automne 2012 #7

This place got to be one of my fav places in Paris. A Salsa-Latino theme restaurant where they have a dancing floor at its ground floor at night.

Group of friends have their own private area to talk among themselves while eating and drinking without getting disturb by others.

Hot Tapas selection.
Cold Tapas selection.





People salsa-ing, while I salsa-watch. I was told I look like a drowning seal when I dance. HAHAAHAHAHA!!

My London colleagues came over to Paris over the last weekend and we had a pretty fabulous time!! 

Dinner on Friday at this restaurant along Canal Saint Martin. I like it and I'm going to bring my friends there again when they come to visit!

C - The sassy Italian!

 

L&I.

Main dishes most of us have chosen from the menu - Scallops with sesame & some duck confit topped with mashed potato.

The desserts. I chose Pannacota, but I forgot the other one which some of my colleagues have chosen, some pastry with apples embedded within.


We adjourned to a popular pub/bar/chilling out place - Le Comptoir Général, cutting the long queue cos' one of my London colleagues knows the bouncer. Hahaha!!


They are operating on a vintage African theme inside, which look pretty cool! The whole place consists of different levels - bookshop, vintage clothes and accessories, etc.



Cheers to a better future!!

Taking a break from our Rome trip, I was invited to have dinner at the best Spanish Tapas restaurant in Paris tonight! I saw my fav calamars!!

Sangria de la Casa

This is a wine punch typical of Spain, Portugal, México, and Argentina. It normally consists of wine, chopped fruit, a sweetener, and a small amount of added brandy. In the case of fruits, they are chopped or sliced such as orange, lemon, lime, apple, peach, melon, berries, pineapple, grape, kiwi and mango. A sweetener such as honey, sugar, simple syrup, orange juice is added. Instead of brandy, other liquids such as Seltzer, Sprite or 7 Up may be added. 

Very good ambience with Spanish music in the background with cute Spanish waiters.

  

With my fav J!  

 We ordered both the hot and cold tapas assorted plates, just to try a bit of everything. This is the hot tapas plate.

  

The cold tapas plate. I prefer the hot one, maybe due to the cold temperatures too and it was raining heavily when we were there.  

My greedy face.

  

Crème catalane de la casa - Spanish version of crème brulée to end the meal on a sweet note.
 

 I want to go back to try their assorted Spanish ham and cheese plates!! Since we really like this place, it would be pretty soon!! =D

Été 2012 #2

Food this week, last week and the week before the last.

The usual b'fast. Yoghurt with fresh seasonal fruits - I'm currently in love with the yellow (they have the white version of it too) nectarines here.


The cheeries here are so sweet. This is more than 1kg worth. =D


Japanese cold noodles with any fresh vegetables you can find. This dish is almost dummy-proof, you just need to slice up the ingredients nicely.


The best place to have udon in Paris.


And, we found ways to digest our food on the streets... hahaha!!


We went French that day for lunch, in a very chic place I like.



I love cider a lot, you know! I'm drinking one bottle of it almost every other day in Summer!!



Another French lunch this week on a Thurs.



The Greek Salad.


The French Cheeseburger.


With my fav J after lunch, on our way for desserts.


At the Häagen-Dazs boutique for desserts after that.


Indian beer.


Indian curry. I like the way they do their rice but I don't know what and how they did it to make it so delicious. I don't see this in back in Singapore.


At the Indian restaurant in my neighbourhood.


Today, I was given a free box of tofu at the Japanese supermarketI frequent every week. Beautiful packaging.
