Paris May 2014

When it comes to "Food", who wouldn't love PARIS. On this journey, my mission is to find good restaurants and pastry shops in Paris. Well, we did find many delicious places. And I'm happy to share my favorite restaurants , and other delicious places with you.

The food of these restaurants is so good that you can feel "Love & Care" in their dishes. It's an honest cooking that I feel joy and appreciated every times I found these places. The good news is most of these restaurants on my guide list are incredibly inexpensive, comparing to what we get.

Moreover, I have also included the shops for food ingredients supplies, kitchen and Baking equipments especially for those who are interested in cooking. Some of these places are Julia Child's favorite shops, written in her book.

** Thank you "Mom" for being my perfect companion on this trip**
