Cheap and cheerful cooking from the Shaanxi province, courtesy of Zhao, who hails from Xi’an. Get the pork-filled flatbread.
- François-Régis Gaudry says that Chez Vong is the place to go for canard laqué (Peking duck). The “state of the art” preparation takes place over three consecutive services and results in an “irresistable” contrast between crispy skin and melting duck fat. [L'Express] Our own Chrisos wrote a similarly loving review last year.
- A posse of PbM readers joined Dorie Greenspan yesterday at the U.S. Ambassador’s residence to taste Napa Valley wines paired with Dorie’s own gougères and a series of dishes (truffled Brie and foie gras) prepared by Yves Rouquel. We learned about at least one place – the Comptoir des Andes in the 14th – where these surprisingly good Napa wines can be found in Paris. [Meg Zimbeck]
A red and black-lacquered dining room lit with lanterns and staffed by lovely ladies: Lily Wang rides the Asian wave sweeping Paris with style and steep prices.
The name is cute but the homestyle Chinese cooking is serious at this minuscule address, run by a chef from Shanghai. BYOB, or wash it down with tapioca-filled tea.
Whether or not you believe newcomer YOOM serves the most authentic dim sum in Paris may depend on whether or not you’ve been to Hong Kong. Open 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. continuously.
Craving a little heat? Head to this address for chili-laden Hunanese fare. If you want their chicken Zuo Zang-tong — General Tso’s chicken — be sure to call a day in advance and let them know.
This tiny, highly regarded Chinese restaurant veers from the usual family style format, offering a limited-choice, three-course menu.
Hand-thrown noodles are stretched and cut before your eyes at this fun Chinese spot. Excellent hangover food.
