Charming Paris.


I just came back from an unplanned trip to Paris for five days and I am still very much amazed by how pretty it is. =)
I went there to find Loon and stayed with him and Shian at their place at Rue Chaptal, which is near Moulin Rouge. This trip is something that I must blog about. =)


On Wednesday night, I reached Paris (Charles de Gauille airport) at around 7 pm and we went for dinner at Wepler, which is at Place de Clichy and of walking distance from their place. This was going to be my favourite restaurant of all time and has become so. I will tell you why.




We stepped into the restaurant and having never tried escargots before, we ordered 6 for us.


This is how a platter of six of them looks like. They taste just wonderful, melting into our mouths with a tinge of garlic aftertaste. *rubs tummy in glee*


After tasting them, I felt that they were the most wondrous creations in the world :)
I can't help it that I adore shell food to the core. (no pun intended) =)

And dinner kicked off with us exploring these beautiful snails one by one, leaving them to melt on our tastebuds. =)

Next, we had the seafood platter (plateau ecailler) for 28 Euros. There were all kinds of tantalising and mouth-watering seafood such as oysters, clams, mussels, prawns. And being avid seafood lovers, that dish was only a natural choice. Imagine our joy at being served with the seafood platter.

This is the seafood platter for the three of us. We chose this cos it was the cheapest and we wanted to order other main course too.

Enough to make any sea food lover go crazy :)

This is what me and Shian had for our main course - a very nice medium rare steak. Never a fan of steaks, I found the restaurant's steak a quite nice choice. Juicy and succulent. =)

This was what Loon had for his main course. Looks like chicken kebab and pasta but being someone who enjoys flavoured food, this was a little too bland for him.

Nonetheless, we had a very happy dinner that very first night I was in Paris.

A very satisfied us. Though I was probably feeling that I could very well finish another seafood platter :)
