Paris Chinatown

Whenever I travel to another country I always try to visit the Chinatown of the cities I go. So the above photo is Paris’ version of Chinatown. Ok so it’s quite small compared to Melbourne & Sydney but I kind of expected it. It is quite hidden and is parallel to the bustling touristy Champs Elysees (the main Shopping Street of Paris).

Ok so you’re in a Chinatown and you’re hungry, what do you do? Search for a tasty chinese restaurant of course! It was pretty dark and we were weaving in and out looking for something that was decent and that was actually opened.

Finally we find a restaurant. I forget the name of it but it was very cosy. They thought we were from Asia and was suprise when I told them I was from Australia, perhaps not many aussies of asian decent comes through there often? Who knows. What I do know is that the food was awesome! So yumm!

Here are the photos:

The chinese food was pretty good although there was a bit of twist on how they cook certain dishes. We had:

• Duck cooked in five spice served with bean shoots

Roast duck with five spice

• Steam fish with ginger and spring onions

Steam fish fillet (instead your typical whole fish)

• Honey chicken with a twist (spicy chilli, pepper and onion mixed) – it was really nice
