Last night, something drove me to Google Map Paris. More specifically, Ile Saint-Louis. It was a sudden need to have a street view of Rue Saint-Louis en I’lle so I could “check out” Berthillon simply because I wanted to reminisce about an ice-cream so divine, it was fitting that it can only be found in Paris. I can still taste the rich and luscious caramel au beurre sale (caramel with salted butter) that was so extravagant and exquisite that no other ice cream can now satisfy me in quite the same way.

I’d fly back to Paris in a heartbeat just for the ice cream and the food. Granted, we managed to sample a good number of restaurants/cafes that came recommended by others, we still need to go back for a real gastronomical experience. It’s true what people say about Paris y’know? There really is a wealth of good food. And this is not limited to fine cuisine. Even the most random cafes that we chanced upon on one of our nights about the city had better food than most back home. So the next time I go back to Paris – and you bet I will – I’m going on an empty stomach.
