Spanish Food At Home...


Once in a while we will have a wonderful Spanish dinner at home. Well actually to be correct it is really PERUVIAN. It's really different from your typical "Spanish" food. There is no Tacos or fajitas just REALLY REALLY good food.

Sometimes we would also invite friends over (but that really depends on our chef if he's willing to take on that many ppl to cook for! AKA my Papi)

Set up the dinner table all nice!


One of the most famous dishes of the Peruvians: Ceviche!! YUMMY
It's really raw fish cooked in lime juice with other secret ingredients!
(The orange is yam not carrots!!) I LAHV Ceviche!


We also add a little western touch as well: GARLIC Bread! (Homemade...)


We also add other variety of pre-meal food like cracker spread/pate!


This is a seafood soup which is really healthy, fresh and delicious! Also as you can see Peruvians LAHV cilantro!!


This is the main course called Estofado. It is again really healthy and made with tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, basil and chicken. There are a lot of variations of this dish in other cultures as well! (Supposedly really easy to make but I wouldn't know cos I don't cook...maybe one day I will attempt it!)


To end our meal we have to focus on our dessert! YES we are big dessert ppl. So of course we have our healthy fruits WATERMELON.


Desserts take too much time to prepare so we order the cakes from one of our fav bakeries; COVA. This is the blueberry cheesecake.

This is the tiramisu cake...

And last but not least we top it all off with coffee, tea and chocolates from Agnes B.!

Shake MMMMmmmm Buns!

Living in HK, one will automatically develop a very high standard pair of taste buds. But one of the things that was missing in the past few years was just a good ol' American burger. WELL...... NOW it's EVERYWHERE...from your triple o's to your fatburger... BURGERS has taken over the usual midnight meal at Tsui Wah's.

One of the burger stops that I lahv is definitely Shake 'Em Buns!!! Located in Causeway Bay and Central it is the taste of American/Gourmet fast food made just right for the small Asian stomach.

Here we tried their 3 mini burgers, chili cheese fries and a very ice cold chocolate milkshake to wash it all down! =) YUM.
