Comfort Food

I call myself a mutt!! What does a mutt eat for comfort?

Wahahahahaha. Ok! Let me explain myself.

I am Chinese decent; full 100% Chinese, but I can not read or write Chinese. I recognize maybe 10 words in Chinese. I was born and raised in Thailand, but educated in the American school system, English is my first language, and the majority of my friends all speak English. For the last 10 years, I lived in Los Angeles and English is my mother tongue. Oh, and I currently live in Paris and learning to speak French. So, when people ask me where I'm from? I give them this confused look and attempt to go on with explaining my life. Whew! That was long just blogging about it.

Anyways, what do I eat? What do I reach for when I'm sick? What do I want when it's cold? I'm Asain and I still prefer to eat Asian food on a daily basis; Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Taiwanese, and Indian. But, my comfort food is wholesome Chinese food. Not the take out you find at fast food joint around Paris.

When in Paris, I like to go to the 13th and grab noodles from Hoa Hoa; they are cheap and opened to 2 AM. The only problem is trying to find transportation back after a late rendez-vous. Hoa Hoa serves "tae chiew" style noodles, some Vietnamese fare, but majority is Cantonese style Chinese. According to my brother Bernard, this joint also serves up one of the best roast ducks he's had; and my cousin Erica think their noodle are better than the one in Los Angeles.

Whatever this place is doing, they are doing it right!!!

For late supper, come out to the 13th.
