Spanish Cuisine

This is the 2nd time I visited La Bodega. It's a Spanish restaurant which serves pretty good Spanish food. The first time when I visited this place, I only managed to taste limited tapas and I couldn't remember much about it except that I knew it was expensive and the portion was pretty tiny as well.

We started off our dinner with some tapas. Here is the Deepfried Sheep’s Milk cheese with Honey. I had never expected honey goes so well with the cheese. Now I guess I learned something new. Hehe...

Next up is the Calameres which is the deep fried squid. For some reason, this dish can never go wrong. It's a favourite for all of us.

We also had the Eggplant with Olive Oil, Chili and Herbs Tapas. Not something I really fancy but the sauce is pretty good when you dip your bread on it.

I can never find a reason to say no when it comes to mushrooms. They just tasted so good. I wonder who came up with this brilliant idea that we can be consuming fungus. *lol* Anyway, this Button Mushrooms Sauteed in Olive Oil and Garlic is a must try if you ever visit this restaurant.

Next up is the Lamb. I really can't remember what's it but I knew it tasted kinda ok. It was served with mayonaise/yogurt (not quite sure) with diced peaches. The taste is kinda unique and I wouldn't mind trying it again.

Of course when you visit La Bodega, it's a must to order thePaella Valenciana Mixta or Spanish rice cooked with prawns, chicken, mussels and clams in a paella with saffron, peppers and peas. I think after having this, I finally settled my cravings for Paella. The last round I ever had this dish was many years back and was craving for it ever since then. But I have to say that this Paella is not really up to my expectation. The one I had in UK was way much better than this.

So this is what I had for the night celebrating Doink's birthday with his families. Tons of yummy food and I think I'm done with Spanish food for now. =)
