Korean Street Food at le Carreau du Temple – Paris
25 septembre 2015 § 5 Commentaires
Until Sunday, will be held at Le Carreau du Temple a street food festival centered around Korean food with other food trucks as well. Korean food is not yet well known in France, maybe at the exception of the spicy kimchi and the BBQ. The Korean food stalls present here were promoting traditional korean dishes yet unfamiliar to Parisians, such as Tteokbokki, Hop-pang, or seafood Pajeon. They are prepared just in front of you and you are able to see how they are cooked.
The korean chef Pierre Sang was also there and had his own food stall. I tried his Kimchi lentil, not as spicy as I was expecting but strong enough for the Parisians trying Kfood for the first time. If you have never drink Makgeolli or Soju yet, head to the bar to try ! 
I was there with my two favorite Bloggers, Ugonna from Kphenomen and Grace from La Petite Banane.
Where? At Le Carreau du Temple, 4 rue Eugène Spuller – 75003 until September 27th 2015.
Rose Bakery at La Maison Rouge – Paris
10 septembre 2015 § Poster un commentaire
The first Rose Bakery that has opened in the left Bank of Paris is at la Maison Rouge, a contemporary art gallery located near Quai de la Râpée in the 12th arrondissement. I already wrote an article about Rose Bakery last December, you can find it here. The particularity of this RB is the bright space and and the proximity with the art installations. You literally have the impression to eat inside the museum while playing table soccer. The decor of the restaurant changes three times per year, maybe it will be different to my pictures at your next visit!
For vegetarians, Rose Bakery is a top spot as many dishes on the menus are suitable for them. Contrary to the other addresses, it is very calm as few people know there is a RB here. Perfect for a quiet week end brunch on the rive droite if you want to avoid the crowd!
Where? 10 boulevard de la Bastille, 75012 Paris

This week

As I have time this summer, I am trying recipes I had kept on my list. You can already guess, there are mostly desserts. I look a lot on Deliciously Ella’s blog, a truly inspiring british blogger who shares healthy and easy recipes. Easy is in bold, because cooking should be simple and without any fuss. The simpler, the better. Plus it is summer, the best time for eating sweet blueberries and strawberries, which means time for granola and fruit pie!
I also baked a chocolate cake with a really strange ingredient. Hervé, in his blog proposes a recipe without butter and sugar, replacing them with a magic ingredient … Zucchini ! The final result is a really moist chocolate cake without any taste of the veggie. This is the most incredible recipe I have tried so far – easy and delicious. Sprinkle cacao nibs and some cocoa powder on top, it will taste even more better. Recipe here (in french).
If you are not a very good cook like me, these two blogs will help you reconcile with cooking. Enjoy !
Broken Biscuits – Paris
9 août 2015 § 6 Commentaires
Do you remember when I was talking about the exquisite pastries at Honor Café, rue Saint Honoré? They are from Broken Biscuits a tiny little coffee/cake shop in the dead end street Passage Rochebrune. Cakes and pastries are freshly baked here everyday by Christine O’Sullivan who was a contestant in the Irish MasterChef.
The muffin carrot cake and the lemon pavot are beyond what you usually expect from these pastries, they are completely addictive! I don’t like lemon but Christine’s version is rich and mega moist. You can also have breakfast with a bowl of granola or lunch with quiches and sandwiches. I will try them for sure on my next visits!
If it is too far for you, you can always enjoy the pastries at Honor Café, Loustic & Fondation coffee shops. As it is a really tiny inside, try to avoid rush times.

Palais de Tokyo – Paris

August is the best month for visiting museums in Paris. It is very calm and there are always interesting exhibitions. Grace wrote an article recently about the young Chinese artist Tianzhuo Chen, whose works are currently shown at Palais de Tokyo. What awaits you is far from the usual calligraphies and delicate porcelain vase you expect from Asian art: Tianzhuo Chen is rather a contemporary artist, tackling various themes such as drugs, sex and rave universe with kitsch, pop and surprising installation. I did not take any pictures as it was dark but I let your imagination work. 
If this is too brutal for you, maybe the smoked glasses by the french artist Patrick Neu will please you more or the dark-aquatic installation by Celeste Boursier-Mougenot. There is something to suit all taste at Palais de Tokyo. 
The souvenir shop of Palais de Tokyo is certainly one of the best in Paris: they have a huge selection of edgy magazines and they sell items from the italian Toiletpaper. Do not forget to bring some coins to have your face portrayed in the vintage Fotoautomat. 
I definitely love August in Paris as it is empty and you feel like a tourist. Enjoy before the Rentrée!
Where? 13, Avenue du Président Wilson – Paris 75116, website here. Closed every Tuesday.
