Just finished having lunch @ Tandoori's (metro stop: Embajadores). We enjoyed quite the spread... Papadam, raita (yogurt sauce with mint and cucumber), onion bhajia (onion patties made with chickpea flour and deep fried, like pakoras), chicken madras curry (spicy, but not too spicy!), palak aloo (spinach cooked with potato chunks and spices... delicious!), pulao (not your ordinary basmati rice... this one was rainbow!), naan bread, and mango lassi (a yogurt drink made with fresh mangoes). It was really quite the find! =)
If you are craving yummy housemade noodles, try Rey of Tallarines (Calle de San Bernardino, 2 :: metro stop Plaza de España or Noviciado). They offer a lunch menu-of-the-day, which includes a first course, second course, dessert, and beverage. For the first course, I recommend the ensalada de aguacate (avocado salad), and for the second course I recommend anything that comes with their tasty fried noodles (my picture shows saucy beef strips, served with fried noodles, vegetables and shrimp), or their chicken with thai green curry sauce. The guys at the table next to us were eating tempura (but they call it "fried vegetables") and that looked delicious as well. They also offer dim-sum, and if you are lucky enough, you might get to see them making the noodles! (click here for photos from a friend's blog)
Last weekend, we went to Sevilla. I was looking forward to experiencing Andalucían food and culture, but to tell you the truth, we had some pretty bad food experiences (paella that barely resembled paella, for example) and had a hard time finding nightlife that didn't involve riot police...
However, two places shone through the smog:
At Café de Indias (one of their many locations), my friends enjoyed batidos de chocolate (chocolate milkshakes) and I had a
marruccino (espresso, foamed cream, and cocoa) and a slice of delicious chocolate cake layered with cocoa mousse.
At Mario, an Italian restaurant, my friend had the gnocchi with salmon and I had a refreshing insalata caprese. Much better than that fake paella. =)
