The renovated Brasserie at the Printemps (in lieu of Brasserie Flo) offers some classics such as this terrine, as well as more original choices such as salmon tartare served in its can.

Oddly enough, neither Cal nor I wanted to try that once we read it was served in a can… So we went with the Salade Niçoise for her, Terrine followed by Pasta with Chicken for me and a plate of fries for the munchkin she brought along.

If I really have to say something it would be that overall, the entire meal was enjoyable and the portions were pretty big. Service, however, was dismal, as I had to as five times for water (we ended up with a carafe which was enough for two glasses) and twice for bread.

Overall, not bad, if a little expensive for brasserie fare. Man, I’m being cheap on the commentaries these days.

There are more pictures of the food available on my Flickr.

Upon finding a Polaroid set of my parents in the 80s, I wonder how the combination of good looks, intelligence and charm that they possessed could give birth to someone like me, gifted in nothing, possessing the uncanny ability to attract problems wherever she passes and about as attractive as the decaying remains of Godzilla.

I’ve been having a pancake craze recently and it’s affecting my every thought :D

Yesterday morning, I even made some miniature pancakes.

Now, blogging might be intermittent enough that you think I have crawled in a hole and died but I assure you, that is not the case. I have an update to make about Hidden Kitchen, as well as a few things about my holidays too!
