L'Ourcine
Rafael and I went to L'Ourcine today after a recommendation by Amir. I had been anticipating this trip as I have also read some amazing reviews of this place.
Amuse bouche - carrot soupe (which was put in a siphon, then plated) with tiny croutons. Delicious.
Fish soupe - Raf loved it
Terrine de celeri rave and foie. Very refreshing and light even with the foie.
Rabbit. This is probably the best rabbit I have had. Meat fell off the bone and melted in your mouth.
Filet de couchon. It was perfect.
My side of brussel sprouts
Riz au lait. The best I have had thus far. It had dates and caramel on top.
Tarte l'inversée. Pineapples on the bottom, fromage blanc, and pate sablée. F'in good sh*t. Rafael was crazy about this dessert (and so was I).
Everything here was perfectly cooked and plated. Raf and I were so impressed with this little bistro hidden in the 13th. It's passing up Au Fils des Saison... and up there with L'Ardoise simply because they did both cuisine and pastry without error. It's simple food done extremely well - no frills.

The Last Supper...at Tricotin
... well the last supper of the "Eating with Pim weekend."
This Cambodian owned "Chinese restaurant" served a myriad of items ranging in Chinese/Cantonese food, Vietnamese, and Thai (typical of "Chinese restaurants" in Paris).
Funky tasting Nems
House noodles with all types of goodies like shrimp, pork, and kidney. Normally, Pim just orders this here, with the soup separate so that she can season the noodles with hot sauce, etc. I will try that next time.
Fried shrimp that Pim likes to dip in the broth. Same breading as fried bananas. Ummm...
Beef "chow mein" - not your typical chow mein. It was okay - I did enjoy all the crunchy Chinese broccoli.
Overall this place is okay. Not super Chinese as it is Cambodian run but if you are looking for some cheap and quick Asian food, then why not? This place is HUGE too - crowded but probably won't have a long wait time.

Chinese Restaurant Discovery ! And La Loco
Andrew and I stumbled upon this Chinese of all Chinese restaurants while we were in the 13th. I mean everything about it screamed Chinese. The decor, the oversized banquet room. The karaoke stage. The TV screens. Tablecloths. Tanks of fish. Waiters uniforms. You name it. You see Chinese food isn't really great in Paris. At least compared to California, and of course, China. BUT based on the decor, we had to try this place. Now most of the Chinese people in Paris come from Wenzhou. At this restaurant, they had things like Peking duck, and dim sum (which is from the South), but why not try it anyway? I mean come on, the decor was catered for Chinese customers!
Hello, Chinese restaurant !
So we ended up ordering some typical fish stir-fried with ginger and green onions. And also Cha niu hu (yes, my ping-ying is way off), which is a flat, rice noodle with bean sprouts, onions, soy sauce and beef - typically a southern Chinese dish. All in all, not bad! Especially for Chinese food in Paris. Granted, it wasn't the best per se, BUT it was good enough to satisfy your Chinese food craving.
It was quite a nice discovery =).

After dinner, we met up at Canadia's place to pre-game. I think it was about 1am when we decided to leave his apartment. The metro closed already, so we were waiting for a taxi. This random guy asked us if we wanted a ride so we hopped into his car. Why not? I was with three guys, no biggie right? He decided to be a really nice guy. We gave him 20 Euro for driving us all the way to the 18th to meet up with Ede at a club called La Loco. A very Euro-club that played a lot of trance, but they did have a good 10 minutes of hip-hop and NELLY FERTADO. The crowd was a bit icky at first, but it got better towards the night.
Looking sharp
Hi Ede !
Afterwards, we went to a pub next door which turned out to be free and played better music. The entertainment was quite interesting as well.
The night ended at 6am. SIX AM. I need to remind myself that I am older now and that I can't pull all night partying anymore. I was so tired the next day. Never again! HAHAHA
