Sichuan beef shreds at Tian Tian Wang in Paris
Dry-fried Sichuan beef shreds (干煸牛肉丝), with additional bowl of rice. It was really good!
Sichuan boiled beef / Mapo tofu at Asia Room in Paris
Sichuan boiled beef (水煮牛肉 – “shuizhu niurou” in Chinese; “marmite de boeuf piquant” in French).
This is a classic dish from the province of Sichuan in southwestern China. It was very spicy and really good. It was only my first time eating this dish and, after Asia Room, I had it at many other restaurants in Paris.
Spicy Noodle Soup at Mian Guan in Paris
Spicy noodle soup with minced pork.
It is possible to choose the type of noodles: I got the knife-cut noodles (刀削面; Dao Xiao Mian). Pretty good.
Poutine at Poutineville in Montreal
“Hangover Cure” (Lendemain d’brosse) poutine. It was a bit of a departure from the traditional poutine but it was really good.
