Paris Food Special!

Of the many things I want to do in life, celebrating New Years in Paris has always been floating at the top of my bucket list. Off the top of my head, it is currently ranked as being more important than raising a golden Labrador, curing my own sleep deprivation, and beating that last boss at the end of the interwebs. Luckily, all those things moved up a rank cause I was able to spend new years 2009 in Paris. Here's the proof, food style.

Basque type French Food. 1 word, delicious. Lamb stew perfected tender and seasoned, and typical European styled bacon was soft and juicy. A key thing to take away from this meal is that this was lunch on a weekday, and as you can see, I have a glass of wine. French people take their time eating and sipping wine during lunch, and it seems like the culture revolves around "wine with every meal". Being of Asian decent with particular low tolerance to Wine and Beer like alcoholic beverages, I'm glad to report that my trip in France was a breezy stroll through the land of awesome.

You can't go to France and not eat some Crepes!

Creme Brulee!

Avid readers of this blog should know of my most unhealthy obsession with pan seared foie gras. In fact, eating the oily delicacy is one of my top priorities. So after a day of walking around Paris, I sat down at a wonderful restaurant a block away from the Notre Dame de Paris, and ordered a Foie Gras as appetizer. What ensued was 15 minutes of bliss I dare not compare with anything else in this world. 4 ginormous pieces of Foie Gras occupied my mind, mouth, and shaking hands. It was cooked in a style I've never tried before, with apple pieces drizzled sparingly with sweet apple sauce. The heavenly pieces were pan seared and placed on top of toast. It was just too damn good.

Lastly, as proof that I was in Paris, here's a picture of the Eiffel Tower exactly 1 second before midnight. The single star signifying the 1second.

Bonne année everybody!
