How do you say, best ice cream in the world?
Posted on April 26th, 2010 @ 21:15

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.

Fat Pig Chocolate
Link via Lovely Package.

I’m a huge sucker for packaging. Tell me you’re not, and chances are, I won’t quite believe you. After all, it’s the first thing we see, and while not always accurately representative, it gives us an idea of what’s inside. So yes, I won’t ever hesitate to choose the prettier option. That way, I’d at least have the comfort of knowing that it looked good.

When I saw these adorable chocolates, I couldn’t help but squeal (lame pun, I know). The clean design and font choice was perfect for such a simple pleasure, and the copy, complete with an “Oink!” on each square totally makes it fun. The logo too, adds to the whole quirkiness, with the little wiggly tail sticking out of the “g”. Gimme a Fat Pig now!
