For a Wednesday night,
they were fairly packed. MC and I shared a table with two others, as I believed
it was a better option than sitting on the bench. But it really is whatever
tickles your fancy. Although, you do feel like you are eavesdropping and vice
versa but … oh well!
Pan-fried Chorizo cooked with beerm mint migas and semi dried grapes ($12)
First up came the
pan-fried chorizo. Sadly, they didn’t seem very pan-fried – but they were still
my beloved chorizos. I just wish that there was a slight crisp to it.
Crispy Potatoes tossed in celery lime salt with spicy tomatillo dressing ($6)
Then next was
crispy potatoes, hello carbs! HELLO CRUNCH! It was simply a satisfaction to
have crispy potatoes in your mouth. A few pieces here and there lacked a
little salt. The dressing wasn’t a
favourite for me, so I simply enjoyed the potato goodness alone!
MEXICO's Fried Chicken ($12)
OMG FRIED CHICKEN! It
was ticked as recommended on their menu, thus it was all the more reason to order
it. Though there were all the little chillies next to the name, indicating the
level of spiciness … it really was not that spicy. It was rather disappointing,
but the fried goodness was simply … divine!
Achiote chicken, citrus cured red onion, mint with salsa borracha quesadilla($12)
Our ultimate favourite
dish of the night chicken quesadillas! The taste of the citrus red onion and
the salsa was simply a great combination. The pita bread had a perfect crisp to
it. Add a touch of chilli sauce and it is simply ... perfect!
All in all, it wasn’t
too bad of an experience. Perhaps I should go and try the tacos next time … ?
did you try any of their drinks? preeeeetty tasty :P
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately no :( ... guess that shall also be added onto my list to try for next time! ^^
