Spanish Cuisine

>> Friday, 23 May 2008

This tapas buffet is different from the usual buffet. You have to order what you want and they'll make it for you instead of having an array of food stalls.

This is the menu.

La Tasca Menu

We are allowed to order a maximum of 8 dishes each time.

La Tasca Restaurant - Tapas

So here we have Calamares a la Andaluza (deep-fried rings of squid served with roasted garlic mayonnaise and lemon - on the left front), Berenjenas Gratinadas (Fresh aubergine, topped with cheese and tomato - centre front), Pescado Bianco Frito (White fish, deep fried in beer batter- right front), Chorizo Frito al Vino (Spicy Spanish sausage, sauteed in red wine) and the further three were toasted bread topped with garlic & fresh tomato, some fried potatos and Spanish omelette.

I love the fried squid, fish in beer batter and the Spanish sausage.

La Tasca Restaurant

The restaurant decor is quite nice too.

To all Spanish Cuisine lovers, you should give it a try if you haven't tried it yet.

Tapas anyone?

>> Wednesday, 21 May 2008

Anybody fancy some Spanish cuisine? Went to La Tasca near Leicester Square last weekend. They were having a tapas buffet for ten quid (£10). Eat all you can it says...

More close up shots of vegetables...

Enjoy.

Lovely little raddish

Red raddish. Looks fresh to me.


Mushrooms

These mushrooms do look a little weird. I mean the colour.


Red pepper or capsicum

Red pepper! Looks pretty shinny. They must have put a layer of wax on it.


Potatoes

Why not wax these too? I think shinny potatoes do look good =P


Beans

Healthy beans. Omelette with beans sounds good anyone?


Duck eggs

Duck eggs. I think I rather go for chicken eggs.


Turkish Delights

Turkish Delights. Sweet, nutty, chewy...err what else?

Borough Market, London

>> Saturday, 29 March 2008

Yesterday, we decided to visit the Borough Market which is located in the south east part of London. The market has been there for 20 centuries and they just celebrated their 250 years of trading. For more information, just visit the Borough Market's official website.

Its time for some photos.

Borough Market, London

All these fresh vegetables came directly from the farm. Ahhh fresh carrots, leek, cabbage, and so many more. Yummy!!


Dead rabbits

Now, that makes me feel otherwise!! I find it very different to sell rabbits like this perhaps they were trying to say fresh rabbits? Poor little bunnies. Try not to look at the details as you might see things from under the skin.


The Monkfish

A fish stall. Saw many fresh fishes but they all look normal to me except for this one, the Monkfish. This type of fish basically swallows their whole prey this is why they have a big mouth.
"What if its not dead?" - quote, one of my friend =P hehe.

Shiny tomatoes and aubergines

Wow..look at that shiny tomatoes and aubergines I mean eggplants errr...also known as brinjals. Many names huh? Those vegetables do look a little fake to eat but its great for photography.


Cheese stall

Spotted this cheese stall, they were selling tonnes of cheeses. Probably a heaven for rats too. Are you one of them (those who were born in the year of rat :P ) So, as expected I went on and tried one of those cheeses before it gets too crowded. Don't think, just give it a try! Go on!


Chocolate truffles

Ahh chocolates....they are my favourite! They have normal chocolates, dark chocolates and even the white ones. Wanted to try some of these truffles but there wasn't anyone there so let's just assume no testing!!! Anyway, let's move on.

Come on, stop drooling let's go.


tomatoes stall

To all tomatoes lovers, they only sell tomatoes. Ranging from tomato sauces to fresh little tomatoes. Red...red...very red...


No rubbish please, reuse rather than recycling

United Kingdom really emphasizes a lot on recycling materials. Of course, reusing is better than recycling at least I hope its only for tasting cups and not toilet papers =P.


olives and artichokes

For those who like olives and artichokes, here you go. Sorry, these are not quite my liking.


Turkish Delights

Turkish delights! What are you waiting for?


Nuts, macadamia, chocolates

They sell all sorts of nuts and chocolates too. Its about £1.79 for a hundred grams of any nuts. I tried the Macadamia coated with honey it tasted really good.


Arabic cuisine

Arabic cuisine! It smells really good, perhaps I should be more adventurous enough to
try on new things.


Fresh farm fruit juices

Fruit juice! Bought 3 bottles of 100% fruit juice, pear, apple + beetroot and apple + cranberry. They really taste brilliant because its made of 100% hand selected farm fruits. Now, carrying a camera bag with these 3 heavy glass bottles (1 litre each) isn't really a good idea.



German Bratwurst

At last, its time for some food! Bratwurst (Brat - fine chopped meat and wurst - sausage) a German hotdog.
