The world famous French bistro that's been serving one dish for over 60 years. It is a well-known steakhouse in Paris. We had heard a lot about this restaurant before visiting Paris, so we decided to give it a try. I had high expectations due to the restaurant's reputation and the numerous recommendations we found on the internet. We added it to our list of must-visit spots for great steak frites in Paris. Unfortunately, there is usually a long line. We arrived 15 minutes early to avoid the queue before the restaurant opened at 6:45 pm, but ended up entering at 9 pm after waiting for about 2 hours. Is it really worth the wait? The line outside the restaurant is quite long, but there are people smoking and vaping. I find it unpleasant to be around smokers in queues and have had to walk away many times. My husband is stuck in line and can't escape the smell either. Smoking in queues should be prohibited when near other people, as the smoke spreads and causes discomfort. Second-hand smoke can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs of non-smokers nearby. Smokers should consider the impact of their actions on others who do not want to inhale second-hand smoke and show respect for their well-being. The starter was an ordinary green salad with walnut sprinkles on top. They also charged an extra 4 euros for each additional salad. France served some sort of baguette as well in every restaurant table. Followed by steak fries with second helpings. It felt like they were not rushing us through our meal and so they ask for the next dessert but we seem like the accommodate the next guests waiting in line. I left feeling somewhat disappointed given my high expectations. Therefore, I don't think it's worth waiting in such a long queue since they don't take reservations. There must be better places in Paris where you can enjoy entrecote with fries for around the same price. The sauce on the steak was good, it tasted like mild coconut and buttery satay sauce. I requested my steak to be cooked 90% well done because I don't eat raw meat and was worried about its tenderness or toughness - they served us twice to keep our food warm. The meat was tender but not ribeye; more like braised beef or sirloin - everything tasted okay but not exceptional. The tables were stuck close together and there was constant jostling from waitstaff serving neighbouring tables. It was extremely noisy and overall not a pleasant dining experience - this place seems more geared towards tourists than providing an authentic French dining atmosphere. The food is decent but nothing special; while the meat is good, unfortunately, the fries did not seem fresh - they appeared to be frozen store-bought rather than freshly prepared potatoes which I expected from a restaurant of this calibre. However, service was very fast and our waitress was friendly. We spent a total of €78.50 for two individuals, which included beers but did not cover desserts. The cost was €29 per person for steak and chips with salad included, plus an additional €4 per person. Heineken was priced at €6 and Carlsberg at €6.50. I would recommend this restaurant if you're looking for creating a lively and bustling atmosphere without any other options available – perhaps as an experience with loved ones – then give this place a try! I hope you find this review helpful.

I provided an authentic assessment for this restaurant, giving it a score of 7 out of 10. It surpasses the average, which is quite commendable! Overall, it meets expectations, except for the extended wait time of 2 hours and slightly inflated prices. If you have a fondness for Paris, enjoy steak and chips, appreciate the Eiffel Tower, and find this review helpful, please give it a thumbs up to encourage me to write more honest restaurant reviews :)

Honest Review

We are heading to Bouillon Chartier after stopping by the Franprix supermarket.

Is it worth waiting in line for Bouillon Chartier? Do we recommend it?

Absolutely!

We don't usually wait in line for restaurants and had never experienced it before, but we decided to give it a try during our Paris food tour this time. It was definitely an interesting experience to queue outside a famous restaurant and enjoy good food at a good price.

I also discovered that I can have patience when needed. If waiting isn't your style, try visiting for lunch instead. The key is to arrive early to avoid the rush - arriving between 5 and 6pm should work well.

We arrived at 7:30pm and waited in line for over an hour because the French prefer dining after 7pm. This is something important to note when visiting Paris! While waiting in line, pay attention to a man who walks around signalling different numbers with his fingers - he groups people into parties of different sizes so they can be seated more efficiently once inside.

Bouillon Chartier is well-known for its long history dating back to 1896, its classic Parisian atmosphere, and its menu of traditional French dishes, all offered at reasonable prices. I found this place recommended as a restaurant that serves authentic French food at great prices through a Google search.

The beauty of the restaurant will make you feel like you've been transported back to the Belle Epoque! There's usually a long line for dinner, but it's worth the wait.

The dining room is large with many tables accommodating six people, so multiple parties may be seated together at one table. The menu offers numerous options; we chose oven-baked sea bass, duck confit with potato green salad, avocado shrimp cocktail, along with beer and soft drinks - all reasonably priced by Paris standards. If this is your first time in Paris and you want to experience traditional French cuisine on an everyday basis then le Bouillon Chartier would be an ideal starting point.

The ordering process seemed faster using this method. My next table Parisian mentioned that their vegetable soup wasn't good; therefore sticking with their signature dishes might be best. The waiters use your table paper as your order sheet which adds some fun interaction during the meal. At the end of your meal they tabulate your bill directly on the table. If there are only two of you then expect sharing a four-seater table where you may meet nice and pleasant peoples.

It's important to be mindful of camera distance and posing, as being too close or having the wrong pose can distort facial features and make you appear larger in close-up shots. This is a common occurrence.

My new Parisian friends at the next table kindly recorded a video for us and complimented us on being such a cute couple.

Served authentic classic French dishes. It tastes like a master chef home cooked with all the fresh ingredients, not overly salt or over seasoning which is best. After our meal we opted not to order dessert since we noticed there were still many people waiting outside. We paid our bill while taking some photos of the beautiful interior before leaving.

We called an Uber which took us back to our hotel where we rested. Hopefully you enjoyed watching this video. If you liked having subtitles, 👍 Thumbs Up!

Thanks for watching! See you guys in my next video :)

Husband cooks for wife👨🏻‍🍳 Seafood Rice Porridge once in a week, once in the month!!!

One of the variations I enjoy most is seafood congee, which includes tasty additions such as lobster, crab, mussels, whelks and scallops. 

Since moving here, I have been searching for the nearest fresh market where I can find lobster and crab. Sometimes they also have fresh whelks, mussels and scallops available. 

The environment is lovely, with friendly and helpful staff providing very good service. The seafood is always fresh and reasonably priced. They offer the opportunity to purchase fresher items that you can't find in regular stores. 

My husband cleans, cuts and prepares the lobster and crab along with other seafood. 

We sprinkle sea salt and corn flour on them before air-frying at high heat for about 10 minutes - a healthier option compared to deep frying. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight bag in the freezer for later use. 

My husband has a comforting recipe for Seafood Congee that's simple but time-consuming to prepare. After making a large pot of congee, we add deep-fried lobster and crabs along with cooked whelks, raw mussels and scallops until everything is done cooking - when you taste the real umami flavour it's ready! To enhance the flavours even more, we top it with spring onions, coriander and fried shallots before adding white pepper, sea salt, sesame oil and light soy sauce. This dish not only provides comfort but also essential nutrients; although it takes some preparation time to make this home-cooked meal worth enjoying quality time with loved ones over a satisfying meal. 

I don't usually take videos while cooking but this time I was in the mood so I recorded my husband preparing it as well as us eating it - normally I just can't wait to eat without taking pictures or videos because it's absolutely my favourite dish that's good for health too! It shows love when someone invests their time into cooking good food, bringing us good health and happiness :)

英國過新年🧧🐲 一起做飯的夫妻🎎 教做海鮮乾貨 煮🥢 年味

I've purchased a total of 9 boxes - Morrisons Raw Scallops, 125g x9= 1125g. I put them straight in the freezer, then they can usually be frozen for at least several months.

1) First, sprinkle a pinch of salt and rinse the scallops in cold, clean running water.

2)  Add the marinade ingredients, 2 tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, and high alcohol nearly 40% alcohol, it can kill off the bacteria and add flavour. You can marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator, but not more than 1 hour, or straight to the pan.

3) Use a non-stick pan to cook the scallops on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until all the scallops are in white colour.

4) Set the air fryer oven at 100/11OC, switch on the high fan and bake for 45 minutes. Old-style are used at 55/70C. Dehydrate the scallops for 12-15 hours, depending on the size.

5) Fresh dried scallops that are a beautiful golden colour. Store them airtight in the freezer for longer, up to 6 months or keep them in the refrigerator for a month. They become brown with age and also lose their flavour.

6) Cook the milky white liquid from scallops. Add 1 tablespoon corn flour, water to stir. 1 tablespoon dark soy sauces for darker colour if needed. Then, cook until thickened. Set aside to cool and bottled in a clean jar, It can be kept in the upper, the coldest part, refrigerator for about 14 days. These homemade scallop sauces are so flavourful, it's perfect for stir fry pak choi, beef like oyster sauces, or marinate bbq/grilling.

Pan Fried Chinese New Year Cake with Eggs | Sticky Rice Cake Recipe
Using scissors, cut the rice cake into long strips or any shape as you prefer. Let a slice of sticky rice cake soak up in whisked eggs. Gentle coated with a thin layer of eggs.

Fry them until golden brown and soft on both sides. That is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached. Transfer the pan fried egg rice cakes to a plate. Best served hot!

There is not much celebration during Chinese new year in the UK. We still can taste the yummy at home and make it by yourself and feel it.

It is a must for entertaining guests during Chinese New Year. Symbolising 'togetherness' and 'perfection', filled with treats that have auspicious meanings. You can eat plain without pan-fry and serve like sweet mochi :) The flavour is caramel with a bit of coconut in taste.

The rice cakes are freshly prepared using rice as the main ingredient. I cooked them in a pan with free-range eggs that have golden yolks. I am available to address any inquiries and will be standing across from you, ready to serve you hot rice cakes and premium green tea, treating you like a valued individual - just like a VIP!

All our VIPs are delighted with their dining experience :) They all expressed how delicious it was. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed it too. My husband possesses an incredibly kind heart; he truly is my supportive companion.

Actually, I grew up speaking Cantonese as my native language and conversing in Mandarin and Malay with my classmates from the ages of 4 to 19.

After I moved to the UK, I communicated in the English language on a daily basis. I communicated in the Hakka dialect with my spouse's relatives. Prior to getting married, despite being of Hakka descent myself, I had never engaged in conversations using the Hakka language.

The sky is beautifully adorned with numerous petite white clouds and two prominent clouds, making it an ideal backdrop for capturing stunning photographs.

In reality, this represents merely a fraction of my collection of accolades, which I acquired through participation in singing competitions and beauty pageants such as Miss Photogenic and achieving a spot among the top 10 contestants globally. Regrettably, due to incidents involving shipping mishaps and burglaries during multiple relocations, these cherished awards have been lost.

The sole focus of the image is my cherished subject. These individuals originate from singing competitions in the United Kingdom and Seoul, South Korea, as well as My New Recipes, a worldwide culinary contest.
