L'entracte (2010-12-06)
We got dropped off at Printemps before 1pm. Hungry, we walked around the area to look for food.
The menu of L'entracte looked good enough to try. We got a
very small table next to two hefty Frenchmen. They were the most
friendly people we met on the entire trip. They would smile at
us, asked us where we were from and even later politely taught us a
dining faux pas in France that I committed, which is never to eat a
duck leg with your
hand!
While we were patiently waiting for our food to come, one of
them waved the manager to his table and said something to him (in
French of course). The manager looked a bit embarrassed and
left. He then turned to us and said, "I just told him that these
two lovely people have been very patient. Now is the time to
bring them some food!". And sure enough, our food arrived soon
after.
Speaking of our food, I tried the famous duck confit for the first
time at L'entracte which is also the best one I had after two more
times in later days. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender and
seasoned just right. It kinda tasted like a Chinese preserved
duck leg without the intense saltiness and hardness. KL also
enjoyed his grilled lamb chops a lot.
We were so impressed with the food we returned a second time.
