Must Eat Cakes, Pastries and Desserts and Patisserie Boisserie Restaurant & Patisserie

May 31st, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, French, Must Eat, Travels / Leave A Comment

I remember wanting to eat at Patisserie Boisserie Restaurant & Patisserie the last time I was at Carmel but I was too full. This time, I didn’t care – I had to go. I went in at full force, even though I had just finished eating at Carmel Belle. I was so stuffed after eating [...]

Brunch at Absinthe Brasserie & Bar

April 21st, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, French / Leave A Comment

I’ve been meaning to grab a bite at Absinthe Brasserie & Bar for a while now, ever since I watched Jamie Lauren battle it out in Top Chef season 5. I went in for brunch and was hoping they would still have the cold corn chowder that Jamie would always make on the show, but [...]

Must Eat Croque Madame at Gamine

April 18th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, French, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

I like eating Croque Madame but I often find it too salty salty in a lot of places. Yes, that’s just how ham is. But the one at Gamine was just right! It also wasn’t way cheesy like at most places. It was the perfect amount. Gamine’s fried calamari was excellent too – lightly battered, [...]

Coffee Bun at Chaelsey Patissier

March 22nd, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Food, French / Leave A Comment

Chaelsey Patissier is a Korean-owned French bakery, and it’s pretty good. They seem to specialize in coffee buns, and in different flavors as well – green tea and chocolate. The green tea was a little on the heavy side, but you can definitely taste the matcha. It was also had a cream cheese filling. The [...]

Must Eat Brunette (Praline) Spread at Le Pain Quotidien

March 19th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Food, French, Los Angeles County, Must Eat, Travels / Leave A Comment

Le Pain Quotidien is home of so many delicious foods to eat and to take home. What I really enjoyed there was their variety of spreads, specifically, their Brunette, which is a praline spread, kind of like peanut butter or nutella. It’s something you definitely can’t get just anywhere. Their jams are also very fresh [...]

Must Eat Desserts and Caviar at Petrossian Paris Boutique & Cafe

March 19th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, French, Los Angeles County, Must Eat, Travels / Leave A Comment

I had my first caviar experience at Petrossian Paris Boutique & Cafe, but to be honest, I really don’t know much about caviar so I can’t give it much of a critique, though I did like it. Our original intentions of dining at Petrossian was just for dessert, but Petrossian is known for caviar, so [...]

Basic Burger with Goat Cheese and Bacon at Chez Maman

I wanted to take Holly to one of my favorite lunch spots in the city since she’s only in town for a couple days, so I took her to Chez Maman. I picked that place because I figured it would be pretty empty during a weekday, but no, it was still packed. Don’t these people [...]

Must Eat French Macarons and Quiche Lorraine at Patisserie Philippe

February 1st, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, French, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

This was my first time having savory items at Patisserie Philippe, but I wasn’t surprised at all at how good they were since they know how to do pastries right. I really liked their quiche lorraine (quiche with bacon and onions). It was light and not too salty. Just right. Their other savory pastry that [...]

Crepes at Cafe Breton in Tagaytay

January 23rd, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, French, Philippines, Travels / Leave A Comment

We grabbed some crepes at Cafe Breton. You just can’t go wrong with nutella crepes; however, they had something that I’m not used to seeing in American menus: mango crepes. The crepe is filled with sliced mangos and heated so it’s nice and hot, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and covered with [...]

Hot Apple Pie Drink at Posh

January 16th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Coffee & Drinks, Dessert, Food, French, Taiwan, Travels / Leave A Comment

We went to Posh II (the second location of Posh) for dessert. Their desserts didn’t have much of a wow factor, although their hot apple pie drink really did taste like a warm apple pie, but in drink form. Everything else (chocolate with ice cream, yogurt drink, crepe) was okay. 台北市大安區敦化南路一段190巷42號‎ – 02-2773-0568‎
