California Asian, need I say more...the epitome of good eating! Here's another one to put on your list of must consult everyday...it just all looks so delicious and yes, indeed, someway, someday I'm going to go and have lunch in Sunny SoCal.

This is so, so good! and it's Asian too. So in keeping with tradition that means good photos, lots of info and most especially good food! I can't believe I've only just discovered this fab blog.
Chubbypanda - The Epicurious Wanderer
Interesting, informative and thought provoking. Excellent photos (and lots of them too), restaurant reviews and some excellent recipes as well. This is a fairly new blog just started in August and has a decidely Asian (my favorite) flavor.
mmm-yoso!!!
Asian food blogs are the best and Kirk's blog is just outstanding. Based in San Diego this blog has lots of delicious photos and is an entertaining read as well; one of my favorites. Can't wait to get to San Diego. Bravo!

Antipasti salad for lunch

Today I went back to the place where I got the fajita. The restaurant is named "Be Well" and it's located in the 8th on rue Miromesnil. It's new management so I'm testing to see what's best and they are pretty friendly too, the guy at the counter made a point of remembering me from the last time.

So, for 9,90 euros here is what I got. An antipasti salad, some bread, a diet coke and a slice of cheesecake. The normal salad menu is 8,90 but that only includes certain deserts and since I wanted the cheesecake I had to pay 1 euro extra.

This was a good salad. Aside from the green lettuce there were some lovely cherry tomatoes, radishes, sundried tomatoes, fresh mushroom, pickled artichoke hearts, pickled eggplant and parmesan shaving. Everything was fresh and good. The only remark I have here is that perhaps a simple vinaigrette would have done instead of whatever mustard color thing they serve. It would be nice to have a choice.

My salad beckons...

And here's the cheesecake. Be Well does good deserts; my chocolate cake from the last time was delicious and this cheesecake was good too. There was something in the crust that reminded me of home...

So, my boss is away for the next two days and I've got a three day weekend coming up. I'm actually toying with the idea of cooking something...perhaps I should give this more thought.

Happy lunching!

I really think salad dressings are a weak point in France and have ranted about this somewhere...can't remember is it was a comment or on my own blog, though!
