I passed by a young chef wrapping some sort of rolls to our right, that looked like a scene out of Iron Chef. When we got seated an[...]
Paris has no shortage of chinese restaurants but for our latest installment in "The Plate" post series, we stopped by one of my fave soup and noodles joint in Paris; Happy Noodles in the 3rd arrondissement. Happy Noodles is about fresh made Chinese noodles.
