EATs Paris: Pizza Di Loretta

Montmarte is a very charming place in Paris.  It's quite a distance from where we were staying but we were told it's a must to see the area.  I had no clue what was in Montmarte - well, except for the Moulin Rouge and being a huuuuge fan of the movie, I wanted to see the real thing.  And we did.  But that entails another post.  Hahaha!!  But before we walked to the Moulin Rouge, we had lunch first.

We had lunch in a small pizza place.  I was craving for pizza and we just so happened to pass by one.  My Panget searched on Yelp and saw that it had good reviews.  I didn't get to take pictures of the facade anymore because we were really hungry.

The pizzas that they made were rectangular instead of a round one.  Plus, they sold it by weight.  It meant that I can have the pizza cut to as big as I want it to be or as small if I just wanted to take a bit and taste it - and they will just weigh it.

Here are the pizzas that we got.  I was very distracted when I saw the arugula as I love it so much.  But in France, they call it *rocket* hahaha!  I don't know what the pizzas are called, but I just pointed to them what I wanted and how big I wanted them to be cut.  I based my choices with first impressions.  So the prettier ones, the ones with more *filling* or looked appetizing were the ones I got!  Hahaha..  Sorry, judging them all by their cover!!



Since I love rocket (arugula), it's obvious that this was my favorite.  I was very happy that they didn't scrimp on the rocket.  As I was biting into the pizza - the rockets kept on falling off the pizza, I didn't mind because it was so good!  I loved the combination!  The tomato sauce was so good too!  



I picked this because I was blinded with the prosciutto plus Panget's instructions to get the one with the *most* filling.  Haha!  This was also good because of the mix of mushroom and cream!  OMG this was also deadly.  My Panget was blown away with the combination too!



Is it obvious that I got this?  Well, yes - primarily because of potatoes.  This was a very simple pizza it's just with salt and pepper, some herb and then drizzled with olive oil.  I liked the simplicity of this pizza.



This is their cheese pizza, it's the most basic and the reason why I got this was because Kailee ate her pizza without toppings.  I was hoping that she would like it since it's not the typical *panlasang Pinoy* tamato sauce.  I was surprised that she ate it all!  She said she loved it after taking her first bite!



The pizza with the pesto sauce is my Panget's favorite.  This I have to admit is the tastiest of them all.  When you first bite into the pizza, there is an immediate smorgasbord of flavors!  Would you believe that my Panget actually stopped eating,  looked at his pizza intently, looked at me and told me how good it was?  He even offered me to try it, and that NEVER happens, EVER.  After finishing his slice, he asked to get more from the counter because it was that good!  I was looking at the pizza while it was being sliced and noticed how simple the ingredients were - but together they made a deadly combination.  The seasoning and the fresh ingredients I'm sure, made all the difference.

We left the pizzeria very happy.  We thanked the wonderful staff - they were really friendly and warm and tried to speak in English with us.  My impression that French people are rude were dispelled by the gentlemen over at Pizza Di Loretta.

So if happen to be in Montmarte - make sure to try this place.  It's really really really good!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
