Falafel (FELL-AH-FELL)

Where is one of the first places to eat once we land in Paris?

L'as du Falafel - DUH!





So cool meeting up with all my lovely Americanos in France!

I’m SO HAPPY that Raf has come to visit me in Paris.

Where did we go for his first meal here? JAPANESE! Ahhaha. He got Tonkatsu-don and I got Katsu-curry. It was really good!


Isn’t he adorable?


And for dinner we went to L’As Du Fallafel. OMG, I LOVE this place!


The tzaziki is bland but everything is great. I never realized how delicious the fries are here. Raf claims that Amir’s Fallafel in NYC is better (sans the pita bread).

Berthillon ! The best ice-cream

Amanda and I had a craving for ice-cream the past week so we stopped by Berthillon. A really popular ice-cream joint in Paris. It was a gorgeous day out so it was nice to walk on the Ile Saint Louis, where it is located. I had the chocolate and pistachio (about 3 Euro), and Amanda had apple and salted caramel. Oh my god, this is probably the best ice-cream I have ever had. It really felt like I was eating a deliciously creamy dark chocolate bar, and the pistachio flavor was made with real pistachios - it didn't have that neon green color and taste to it. You know what I am talking about ! It was SO SO GOOD. Very rich so get some water with your ice-cream. Ummmmm.



I love you, Berthillon !

Au Sommet de L'Himalaya

It's time for Indian food ! Amanda and Andrew came over to study for the final. None of us had dinner and had a huge craving for Indian food. We went on Alloresto.com to have it delivered. The French are learning more about takeout! Awesome. It took them two hours (surprise), but we did end up getting some decent Indian food. French people don't care for spicy food so cuisines that are typically spicy, are not in Paris. I left a note online saying that we are American so please make it more spicy. For me, I felt no heat so I loaded up on the cayenne. It wasn't the same but at least I got a bit of spice. The flavors were definately there though.



Tonight's dinner:

Himalaya Morgh
Curry de poulet avec sauce impériale (spécialité du chef).

Morgh Vindaloo
Curry de poulet aux pommes de terre et ses épices.

Morgh Nouveau Jalfrezy
Curry de poulet aux oignons, poivrons, sauce tomates.

Nan

Mango lhassi



Everything was pretty good except the nan. It was a bit dry. Not bad - next time I will tell them to make it extra spicy. Then maybe I would feel some heat.

(By the way, I am still extremely traumatized from yesterday's incident. I still haven't opened my blinds)
