blanc noir

Who says french toast has to be sweet??? Well… this place, Blanc Noir, doesn’t make such hostile statement but it was mildly shocking to hear such a thing — French toast that’s not sweet. Although they do offer orthodox sweet French toast, curiosity killed the cat, I ordered one that’s not. «Avocado Shrimp ‘Pain Perdu’». Apparently «Pain Perdu» is French Toast but it literally translates to «lost bread’ — suggesting that the dish is a use for bread which has gone stale.(According to wikipedia)
And my goodness, it was freakin’ gorgeous. My girlfriend ordered Beef Stew Pain Perdu which was also good. But I kinda prefer Avocado shrimp. They also several other versions, so I definitely come back for that.
And if you get the couch table, that’ll make your day. It’s freakin’ comfortable.
Better go early 11~12pm. It started getting crowded around noon during weekends.
