Parigi

Real Name:

李玗葭

Location:

Paris, France

Best meal I ever ate:

Last birthday lunch chez L'Ami Jean, Paris

My current drink of choice:

Bombay tonic. Freshly made mojito from Miramelindo in Barcelona

I really wish I could:

figure out how chowhound works, why things disappear and reappear with no explanation from the moderators, why they do not keep FAQs and, instead, impose Groundhog Day recurrent request torture on us.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

You mean, like, George Clooney?

My favorite comfort food:

Congee, esp congee from 羅富記, Lindhurst Terrace, HK

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

The most fun, not necessarily the best food: 1. L'Ami Jean, Paris; 2. Spring, Paris; 3. Olhabidea, Sare; 4. Nguan Lee, Soi Langsuan, Bangkok; 5. A fresh dimsum stall near the Chiangmai bus terminus, yes Chiangmai, which I can never find again.

My most tattered cookbooks:

New Basics and the Hazan books are all falling apart.
