Food of Spain

Spain is rich in history, art, culture and food!

Day 1
The beautiful town of Seville, home of the flamenco dance and bullfight with renown oranges...

Breakfast:

Spanish tortilla (omelette)

Hot Chocolate
- beautifully rich

The famous yolk dessert w caramelised top




Snack:

Lunch did not appear to be a big thing. It seems people drink from afternoon onwards and light snacks were the way to go like montaditos (little sandwiches usually with just 1 filling) were quite common in the bars of Seville with tapas available slightly later in the day. Montaditos were usually very tasty with beautiful bread toasted just right and served with extra sides of olives, bread sticks or chips in our experience and all for less than 2 Euros.

Mince pork montaditos. I forgot to snap the tastier chorizo

Dinner:
I must say this was one of the best dinner I've had because the food was superb, the price so very affordable, the ambience cosy and the waiter was equally as fantastic

Entree

Aubergine (House Specialty), pan-fried crisp and dressed with 'special' sauce
- extremely tasty, beautiful texture and the sauce is hardly tomato-ey. I'm not familiar with such flavours

Prawn and bacon brochette
- the bacon is seriously the best ever and wrapped over prawn, the bite and taste is divine and this is not even dessert I'm harping about

Tapas

Pan-fried cod on home-made potato chips dressed with angusa (baby eel) drizzle with olive oil
- such gourmet tapas I must say

Grilled Monkfish served with spiral pasta dressed with 'special' sauce
(It looked like the sauce for the aubergine but taste completely different. Amazing)

Stewed Pork









Braised Venison

Dessert

Chocolate Mousse
- the best ever and I'm not even a fan of mousse because it's airy and creamy
- this is smooth yet not creamy, solid yet soft with just a hint of finely crushed nuts through, somewhat light to still resemble mousse and best of all, it's finely dark

In addition we had an unusual chocolate nut cake and a lovely cinnamon lemon cheesecake (I doubt it was cream chesse but fantastic nonethelss) which was served much later and the eagerness and curiosity to dig in overcame the thought to capture a picture. Such a shame

Day 2 to follow...
