Ooh la la!

I have just watched this French food show on Discovery Travel and Living and I'm inspired to write something about it. Each time some wonderful croissant was baked, a delicate fruit pastry was decorated, a rib-eye steak was seared and herbs were sprinkled all over the meat, I shivered and looked away. It was just way too beautiful for me to stare at. It almost felt illegal. Feeling the itch to research more on this, I have first sought to find interesting and pretty pictures and it seems I have indeed found some of Paris, the capital of France.

The Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tour may be the ones you'd undoubtedly recognize, and indeed, they are as amazing as they look. Maybe even ethereal in person. I would have to find that out by myself!

Did the pictures manage to whet your appetite? Aren't those just little masterpieces? You can never really taste real French food unless you head down to France yourself. In this case, for this journal, it's mostly about the pastries. I have always been a fan of Delifrance, a French-style cafe in Singapore. I'm not sure where else they have them but I remember my mother would buy fruit tarts home almost daily because her office was right across a Delifrance cafe. I loved the chocolate eclairs and I can taste them in my mouth! For the top ten patisseries in Paris, visit this page for more information. I for one cannot wait to personally write a review on them when I go there!
