Alcohol included. So representative of Barcelonaโs quirkiness. This is not a coincidence. The ambience was great and we ordered a seafood platter which caught the envious eyes of onlookers. The grilled seafood was amazing and the sauce thatโs primarily olive oil was perfect to coat the seafood with. #Wewinbarcelona
And the violet dessert was mind blowing- itโs like inhaling a floral perfume, eating strawberries in a Middle East country. ๐ฝ
1. Confit Iberian pork cheeks glazed with Iberian ham juice and โgnocchisโ with fresh herbs ๐ฝ
2. Duck confit minced and boletus Puntalette - pasta prepared as a typical risotto ๐ฝ
3. Violets ice cream with strawberries, lime crumble and milk with cinnamon
This โBikini Carles Abellanโ is a must order from Tapas 24, owned by Carles Abellan who paid his dues at the legendary El Bulli. Black truffles, Iberian ham and mozzarella. When they come together in a hot gooey crispy toast, itโs a perfect amalgamation of flavours and texture. Not quite the ham and cheese toast. #WEWinBarcelona
Well, crispy and foamy is pretty hard to beat. We literally wiped off the plate.
Best paella ever.
And it is not seafood but duck. The rice absorbed all the flavours of the stock without being oversoaked. #WEWinBarcelona
This is fruity and fiery at the same time. I never knew that can be a good match! #WEWinBarcelona
I must say the restaurant has been well maintained and in good condition! The suckling pork is roasted in a 300 year old oven and the skin was crisp and the pork was juicy and tender. We love the croquettes too but seriously it is hard to go wrong with fried potato mashed with ham.
According to Ernest Hemingway who wrote in his book The Sun Also Rises, this is โone of the best restaurants in the worldโ. Such strong accolades. #WEWinSpain
Maybe all we need to do is just to take our โyou cha kuehโ (fried dough fritters) and dip in good thick luscious chocolate? Anyway, Alhambra Churreria Cafeteria serves the best churros ever. #WEWinSpain
Excellent and substantial hidden gem found in Dim Sum Land. Rainbow shrimp ball, Siew mai, platter consisting of char siew pau, shrimp dumpling, vegetable dumplings, crispy mushroom rice roll (mushroom at its best!!), and carrot cake. They donโt scrimp on the quality even though prices are so cheap. Respect. #WEWinHK
crisp and fluffy with real bananas inside. #WEWinHK
