Went out for lunch today to one of our favourite restaurants. The food's gotten a lot pricier but the presentation has gotten a lot nicer.

 

The left one is cherry citrus soda (with a piece of lavender and lime floating around, taken a few weeks back), and the right one is Farmers Orange soda. As for food;

The left is some fish which I can't remember it's name, with cauliflower vanilla puree, pickled onions and spiced nuts, and the right was taken a few weeks back but I ordered the same for today, it's panfried fish with baby broccoli which was had a lemon zest to it (a little too much for my liking)

 

They sell pretty nice looking desserts but I don't really eat desserts at restaurants unless it's strictly a dessert-only place.

 

 

But the dessert I got was a nice tart from a French bakery (which looks totally appetizing when you're taking photos of it in a moving car) The tart was almond base, with custard that was encased by strawberries which were set in gelatin, and topped off with a French meringue 

^ To start with the cherry citrus soda sounds absolutely refreshing! Not only do you have the acid in the cherries but the tartness too along with the sweet note, then here comes the citrus with a kick, at least I hope that's what it taste like
 
The fish dishes look amazing although I'm not sure I would pare it with broccoli but I will do the cauliflower
 
You had me sold with strawberries for the dessert Rafa
 
Great, now I'm hungry again, thx

That's kind of what the cherry citrus was like Except there was definitely a prevalent taste of citrus, not overpowering however. As for the Orange it's kinda like a watered down Orangina if you know what those are

 

The broccoli is surprisingly quite delicious. I think it's done in olive oil so it's very easy on the mouth, however trying to put it in the mouth is a hassle The forks are too big for it so you have to stab into it at least 30 times, even if you've cut it and somehow dangle it into your mouth

 

Muchos gracios amigo And it was $5 for the tart but it was literally heaven in several bites   

Ah perfect, I can literally taste it from recollections of past memories here Perfect, that citrus taste is what makes it that much more refreshing Ha, and I kinda know what you are talking about with the orange drink, why I didn't care too much for it Only orange drink I really like is freshly squeezed oj
 
Hmm, usually broccoli can overpower in flavor if not cooked to a nice tender-soft chew so I will take your word that it was prepped perfectly Ahahah, a bit of leafy herbage dangling from the mouth you herbivore?
 
Not bad in price for what looks like a decent size pastry. Something tells me you had other on standby?

Best rootbeer I have ever had in my life! $6 a bottle but well worth it!

 

^ Awesome  :dance:

So, this one was for September 19, an awesome roasted lamb 

 

 

 

This was last week or so... An after-gym-dinner 

 

 

 

And this is from Sunday: pig ribs. Seasoned with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, cumin, paprika, pepper and oregano. It was amazing!

 

 

^ How many animals you go thru a week?

That's a good question 

^ Save me half at least

Here comes the sweet tooth fix!

Gelato we had last weekend, ever so nice sweet and the perfect texture Kinda pricey though but I just liked the place since they had pretty decorations (like that cute little rose)

 

This was yesterdays fix, $5 for two scoops (which is damn cheap in this country), strawberry sorbetto and blueberry gelato and basically despite the fact the last ice cream was cute this thing blows it out the water, that sorbetto needs a prize 

 

(Sorry for that uber blurry right pic, not apologizing for the floral pants), but went back to the French bakery again, and this time instead of strawberries there was this delicious raspberry custard tart and it was just wonderfully sweet

 

As you can see I'm probably going to get diabetes anyday now with all the sugar intake. 

One of EVERYTHING NOW PLEASE!

So much sugar Raf!!

You two keep yourselves sugar free since I'll probably end up with diabetes with how much I eat it, I have a dependency on it

 

And Storm, are the green things asparagus on the pizza? 

^ No, those are bell pepper (?) (paprika? I'm not sure how you call them)
