Streamyx is down for days. Grrrr.
I just wasted 12 bucks on some drinks i can never finish just to check if Cheeserland got bombed by a killim.
Anyway. Paris.
We stayed in this place which is just 3 mins away from Champs-Élysées.
Hotel was gorgeous!
Tons and tons of atas bistros we cannot afford.
And some Jimmy Choos you can only drool over and probably, steal. With your digital camera.
Okay. I lied. I didn’t just eat baguettes with cheese and ham throughout my entire trip in Paris. Matt did bring us to this preppy restaurant called La Terrasse on the first night.
Matt giving tour guide lessons to Porkie.
And we had tons of good food. Yummy, warm, fine, food. Though not as meticulously atas as the ones Remy (or Linguine?) cooked in Ratatouille. But proper french food.
Porkie the photographer.
Escargot.
Yes i have escargot phobia. But when in France, bo bian but do as the french do lo. Matt kinda forced it down my throat. -_-
F.O.I.E. G.R.A.S.
Not exactly the foie gras i wanted but the foie gras pâté. Whatever la. Beggars can’t be cheeser.
Taste very good with rocket!
Some french fish.
Dessert!
Moelleux chocolat
Creme Brulee
No doubt it was a good meal. And we were very happy.
Until the bill came.
That explains why we had to chomp on french breads for the rest of our days in Paris.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!
i can NEVA afford THAT…
whoooa.
oh well
November 5th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
Wah,so expensive wei~
November 5th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
113.50 Euros??? That would be approximately RM450. Hmm… I’d rather be shopping that amount of money. LOL! No wonder it’s all bread for the rest of the your stay in Paris. But I won’t mind stretch my wallet for a foie gras. *drools like Homer* And the escargot? Escargots are snails, right?
If I’m reading it correctly, is the tax charges are 19.6%? That’s too much!
November 5th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
:O ~~
November 5th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
euro113? wow……thats ‘cheap’ for somebody earning UKpound! no wonder my frens working in ireland have been travelling so extensively over the pass 1 year!!! anyway.. the foie gras looks yucky…..
November 5th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
the currency converter shows: 113.50Euro=550.747Malaysian Ringgit.
walaoeh…half my salary gone!

May I know the name of the hotel you stayed in Paris? Thanks!
November 5th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
thats about £78. quite a lot for 3 people. can go for semi atas food here
November 5th, 2007 at 5:35 pm
euro113 is about RM530 ….. expensive for one meal only .. anyway you can said that you have eaten a proper meal in Paris before
November 5th, 2007 at 5:52 pm
Sheon - its not ‘cheap’ for the food we’re eating. As Claudine says, you can eat better than that in UK itself.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
I think that’s quite reasonable for Paris standard.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
Cheesie dear, you didn’t show the moelleux chocolat and creme brulee
November 5th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
wow girl? You went to paris? I like your dress.. And you look beautiful!

Patricia: Can! Just need to endure heartache!

Ying Bin: Bo bian. It’s paris.
Brian: I dunno about the tax thing
Aki: *-*

Beclipse: It’s called Claridge Bellman.
Claudine: I can eat again in Nobu wtf.
Misha’s mum: Exactly lo. At least no regret.
Chin: Yea that wasn’t anywhere near the most expensive ones.
Porkie: Updated!

Last time when i was in Bali, having seafood at Jimbarang Bay, the bill came up to more than Rp1mil (for 3 pax).
Almost the same amount of ringgit for your French dinner. -_-”
November 6th, 2007 at 12:10 am
woow! just cant imagine eating 500RM worth of food! scary!
November 6th, 2007 at 12:34 am
no way would i ever spend tht amount on a meal =_=!!!
November 6th, 2007 at 2:34 am
“I just wasted 12 bucks on some drinks i can never finish just to check if Cheeserland got bombed by a killim.”
Tis is funny!
November 6th, 2007 at 8:29 am
the price is a little steep for the food you had…. i think the highest bill for me is about US$150 per person and there were 8 of us. but we had much more and better food…
anyway, it doesnt really matter just as long you enjoyed yourself when traveling. remember!! money can not buy time and the experience you had there… =)
November 6th, 2007 at 8:33 am
Can’t believe that you lied!!!!
Was kesian you all the time in Paris eating French roti but in fact you had Foei Gras…
You lied!!!
November 6th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Escargots, yum yum!
November 6th, 2007 at 3:02 pm
100+ Euros = ? MYR. I believe is around 500. For one meal? You got to be kidding with me!
November 6th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
oOoo.. it’s in Euros ah? I thought it was in pound till I saw some commented that it was in Euro.. Hehehe..
November 6th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
i cant afford! * pengsan*
November 6th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
ur desert looks sooo yummy
and that fish served like that is so funny…hahaa..like gotta do surgery when eating it without rice~!
anyway, abt ur post in chocoboard rite..i actually saw that flyer in my uni and was staring at it cos i knew i saw that particular pic in ur blog before..hahaa..i was thinking since when cheesie acted in that movie..lol
November 6th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
OOOOFT! :\
November 6th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
glitz2z, 1 million rupiahs for a nice dinner in Indonesia is not that expensive, esp if it’s Bali Jimbaran we’re talking about. It’s just we have small currency =)
Cheesie, I totally understand your escargot phobia! :/
November 7th, 2007 at 12:26 am
See that TVA thingie? The one that says 19.6%? Thas TAX my cheesieness!
UK not much better, it’s only 17%. Oh my cheese!!
Makes 7% GST sound like nothing in Singapore! Though it’s better in HKG, where it’s 0%. YEAY!
November 7th, 2007 at 12:51 am
hey…that guy ( the tour guide?) looks like the guy that we met back in veitnam…dont u feel so ?
November 7th, 2007 at 10:53 am
Holy crap… that’s pricey indeed.
But i suppose it’s one of those things you do once in a lifetime
and i bet the ambiance was very nice.
November 7th, 2007 at 11:24 am
looks at bill.. *gulps*.. I’m glad that’s not me….
November 7th, 2007 at 11:25 am
but that being said, u make me wanna visit Paris, Paris, Parisssss!!!
November 7th, 2007 at 11:56 am
Oh mine…
the Moelleux chocolat looks freaking yummy!!!
it is good?
November 7th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna try those food. Nevermind the Euro110 plus.. as long as I can try that food! Nyam Nyam
November 7th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Vene: it IS him!!!
November 7th, 2007 at 5:20 pm
More on the rest of the trip!
Though I’m surprised that the escargots weren’t all that expensive surprisingly.
November 7th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
for them then it’s quite reasonable, but for us after conversion…
maybe next time, go to places where our currency is bigger…
November 8th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
its not that expensive i think, main dishes for less than 20 euro is cheap actually
but i guess food in asia is just way cheaper……
November 8th, 2007 at 10:33 pm
Hey Cheesie, what was the name of the hotel you stayed in and how much was it per night? Really loved you Paris pix!:)
November 9th, 2007 at 7:57 am
Yes, Paris pictures were very nice.
I hope, you had a good time
Nice pictures of eating with Porkie and Matt heh.
November 11th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Hey Cheesie, with all the time in France, did you meet up with Audrey Tautou?
