I was in Paris last week and managed to visit the Chinatown. My friend brought me to this shop who sells all kind of exotic fruits including durian, mangosteen, jambu, persimmon, rambutan.... at a very reasonable price. It was a jubilant moment to see durian again. Those in the Asian shop are usually frozen and the smell was not strong anymore. Yes for durian, I ask for the smelly one. :-)
So did you actually bought the durian? or you might have stunk the train! the roti canai looks so nice! unfortunately i didn't find it in nantes, lorient or the asian supermarket in angers. I believe it's only available in Paris? Btw, I ate some of them on 7th Feb in a party at school. Someone from Kenya prepared the roti canai. Now I wonder where roti canai really comes from?
ReplyDeleteLi Ping,
ReplyDeleteI was on the way to an interview and I dared not bring a durian with me! If I did that, the interviewer would probably kick me out instantly. :-)
For the roti canai, I found them in the Asian shop in Nantes, the one close to Route de Vannes in parallel to the tramway. Here is the address:
Asian Caraibes
16 Route de Vannes
44800 St Herblain
I think a lot of countries have something like roti canai as their cuisine. However, the fact that the Malaysians put onion, egg, banana.. in their roti canai has differentiated it from others.
The taste is different or same one.. hahaha
ReplyDeletehappy valentine's day to you
You mean the asian stores in Nantes are selling Roti prata now???? Geesh, now that I moved away, they sell a lot more things than when I lived there 6 years ago. :( So unfair.
