Las Meninas, Bar de Tapas

The restaurant manager was a Filipino. So I was given another glass of margarita, for free! 🥰
The grilled sardines went perfectly with it. And the black truffle mushroom heavenly.

Everything was so good I wish I can order more. Hut my tummy just could not accommodate it anymore.

Favourite wine: Bordeaux Château Haut Paugnan

I decided to post my certain standout wines.

I’m not a wine connoisseur. As such I will not attempt to describe how they tasted. Sort of “just for future reference”.

I do certainly prefer reds than whites. And so for this post to be for a white wine, not red, certainly says a lot about how this one tasted.

To date, it has at least 8 awards.

Till we meet again, dead white.

the best onigiri

THEY make the BEST onigiri I’ve ever had. Hubs rarely makes requests but he requests I buy this after my Saturday Nihongo class, in time for our lunch. Our favourite flavours thus far, tuna mayonnaise and salmon.

Found them in B1 of Keikyu Mall, Kamiooka station.

Onigiri are rice balls more often shaped into triangular form or oval form and usually wrapped with nori (dried seaweed). More often, they have fillings inside the ball; the more popular ones of which are salmon and tuna mayonnaise shown above. Some onigiri are also made of flavoured rice (ume/plum, shirasu and nori bits/whitebait and dried seaweed bits among others) without fillings. Great for take-outs, picnics and as food-on-the-go.

Fulfilling Yasai (vegetable)

It isn’t just good food (or more like good drink/tasteful drink in this case). It’s packed with healthy goodness as well. You can taste the richness in nutrients and minerals with every flavorful sip. Why so? Cause it’s a pure juice made out of 20 vegetables and 5 fruits.

Max’s Sizzling Tofu and Goldilocks’ Multi-Grain Bread

I’ve eaten Max’s Restaurant’s Sizzling Tofu and Goldilocks’ Multi-grain bread separately and both is just so tasty. But eaten together? Oh, it’s just an explosion of flavor! Max’s Sizzling Tofu comes lightly fried and in coconot milk with bell pepers and onions. Goldilocks’ milti-grain seemed to heighten up the richness of the coconut-cream-infused tofu and at the same time levels out its richness, creating fireworks of flavor in your palate. The combination is-just-so-freakin’-good. Try it!
