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.
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.

Flora and I went to Arriba at the Renaissance Hotel for Winterlicious 2009. Lunch was $15 for an appetizer, entree, and dessert.
Appetizer: Steamed Mussels
- squishy, could be warmer
- good size portion: maybe only a few empty shells
- liked the bits of tomato, but after eating too much sauce, i found it to be a bit salty
extra: they gave bread, too
Overall a good dining experience. Favorite: Dessert!! :)

- the salmon was nice & hot in the centre!
- not a fan of olives & capers
- potatoes were good
- very sweet dessert w. caramel and strawberry sauce, but still delicious
- I loved the bananas and was very surprised when I tasted it - it didn't taste like regular bananas. It's very warm and sweet, coated with caramel, and perhaps something else that gave it the special texture...
Overall a good dining experience. Favorite: Dessert!! :)
