EATs Paris: L'Entrecote de Paris

No idea what entrecote means, nor did I have an idea on what this restaurant served. I was just told by my friend Kath to try this place out when in Champs Elysee. Kath sent me a picture of their card and I kept it on my phone. On the day we decided to walk along Champs Elysee - I was already secretly looking for this place. I think the first few minutes of walking - I couldn't see it. I was beginning to give up when the signage caught my eye! It wasn't actually along Champs Elysee - it was tucked in one of the streets parallel to Champs Elysee.

This restaurant has a number of dishes on the menu, but their specialty here in L'Entrecote de Paris - is their Steak Frites and a burger dish. So we ordered one of each. I was glad that they carried a kids menu and I quickly picked the chicken nuggets - please don't judge me, but it's the one most likely to be eaten by Kailee. The other choices were small burger and pasta, Kailee was not with those.

This is their burger dish. I forgot how much this was, but it was good. The size was just right for me and it wasn't very hard to bite into. I must say though, that their fries are ahhh-mazing! I love fries and this for me was one of the best that I've tried in my life. It was crispy and soft in the inside. You can actually hear a crunch when you bite into them. I enjoyed it immensely, it was a great thing that it was unlimited - meaning, I could just ask for more and more and more! Yes, unlimited - not just one or two servings. I asked and asked, they just gave me plates full with smiles on their faces! I was so happy! Hahaha..

This is their specialty - Steak Frites. When you look at it, the serving seemed to be small. My Panget immediately uttered *Magugutom ako neto!* He judged the serving immediately. But then as we ate and ate - he started to feel full! When he finished all the steak he declared that it was very filling. I had a bite or two and it was good. It wasn't the best steak I've had, but it was good enough. I love the sauce too! I couldn't quite figure out what the sauce was, but it complemented the steak very well.

I was so proud of Kailee because she finished all the chicken nuggets on her plate! Look at her! I was so happy and proud that I had to take this picture as *proof*! Haha.. Kailee wanted to feel like an adult and so she had her own adult glass of water. Hahaha!!

This is the dessert plate for of the kid's menu. This was really charming. Kailee was so happy to see the Kinder Surprise! There was a Haribo ice cream with gummies.

We enjoyed our Parisian lunch at L'Entrecote de Paris. My Panget felt like it was a tourist trap, but then who's complaining? We loved the food, it was good, we were very satisfied - and I thought, that was enough. Hahaha!! :) This was my first ever experience with entrecote - and I personally enjoyed it so much. So, thank you Kath for recommending this!

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 ...

#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 t...

#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 s...
