Bagels at Bagelstein Paris

July 26, 2013

Fancy my surprise skipping along my street to see a new bagel bakery here in Paris! Whaaaaattt! When did this happen? Bagelstein's window display called me in. Look at these lovely looking freshly made bagels of all kinds. I was like a big kid in a well-stocked bagel store, complete with cold cuts, Iced-Tea and photos of Michael Jackson (and other celebrities) on the wall. Oh, my heart was warming up - it feels like I was in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The bagels are made each day and range fro[...]

Cafe Pinson & Meeting friends in Paris

April 17, 2013

After 15 minutes of cycling, 2 red lights and wisps of the damp Parisian air on my face, I was there. I attached my bicycle at the intersection of Rue de Forez and Rue Charlot in the 3rd arrondisement of Paris, close to a little vegetarian spot that I?ve wanted to try for sometime now: Cafe Pinson. These first few April days in Paris tasted like a moist mush of heavily diluted milk. The sun was out but the cold could still cut through my tweed coat as I cruised down Blvd Magenta and[...]

An Authentic Parisian Covered Market

January 28, 2013

If you're ever in the 18th arrondisment - near the metro Max Dormoy you must take the time to walk around in a part of Paris that still has an old soul. Marche d'Olive is one of my favorite places to food shop on a sunday morning (they are closed in Sunday afternoons and on Mondays). On first glance you might find this area noisy and dirty and somewhat not as "sexy" as say Rue St. Honore, but this little corner of Paris is "real". I just love walking into this covered market and seeing a[...]

Dauphin, Paris: Experimental Wine Bar

January 17, 2013

I celebrated my birthday last week and I was treated, by two of the loveliest people I know, to a surprise dinner at Le Duaphin! I've long heard of and walked passed this little glass wall resto at 131 avenue Parmentier, in the 11th arrondissement, so many times. I was super excited to finally try out the concept space that's next door to Le Chateaubriand. In its essence its a pristine wine bar with a simplistic experimental menu that changes everyday - and the dishes are served kind of t[...]

Dim Sum Co Paris

October 20, 2012

I finally tried this new dim sum restaurant in Paris yesterday for lunch called Dim Sum Co. Originally, due to my hectic work load I had planned on skipping lunch. Later, as I gave in to the hunger and a free invitation from a friend to pay for my lunch, we entered at around noon-ish to an empty restaurant (every other time I've walked by it's packed). 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[...]

Happy Noodles Paris: The Pork Ribs Soup

September 22, 2012

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. Right before your eyes ( if you want to see the whole thing from start to finish) you'll see the dough getting measured, mixed and kneaded then stretched into noodles for your soup.
