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.

M cooks: cheesy bola-bola!

While having cheese hamburg lunch yesterday, I had the inspiration to make my own hamburg in this weekend. Today after me-time (was off from work today), I decided to make bola bola instead (Filipino meatballs, one of my childhood faves). Yui loves cheese so I decided to toss in some. The verdict? Everyone in the dinner table declared it tasted MUCH better than the hamburg we had yesterday. Yui even requested I make the same again next week❣️🥰❤️

Baked it instead of frying. Preheated the oven at 180degC. Baked for 20 min at 200degC, and kept it inside the oven for 15 min. I’ll preheat it at higher temp next time for more crispy bola bola!
