spotting indian food

March 28, 2008 · No Comments

I love to go out and eat, we all like to socialize and just spend time with people we are fond of. Today I went with a dear friend of mine to Taj Mahal. I have been there a couple of times and I love it.  The service is wonderful, you really don’t have to wait long, I didn’t count the minutes but surely in less than 10 minutes we were served.

 I had chicken madras, its pieces of chicken simmered in a thick sauce made of coconut milk and spices, this combination is hmmm, and the basmati rice and Indian bread… well great!!! The only less nice thing, was that my friend was not feeling very well, so we had to go. But back home I continued savoring the food we could not finish at the restaurant.

If you want to try something new, visit Taj Mahal. It is worth it!!

crazy for sushi

March 5, 2008 · 1 Comment

In my recent post, i wrote about cappuccino and my love for this hot drink. I have another love and this is a crazy and almost like an obsession, sushi. If you are just like me, the first time I had one, I have to say, it was that nice, but with the second, third and by the fifth time, I was hitched. And since that…well no comments.What is it about this elegant, and simple food that can become so addicted?It’s simple,  sushi is delicious! so tasteful, tantalizing and appetizing that our palates are forever altered.Here in Aruba, we can also enjoy good sushi. One of my favourite places is Sushi Ya, recently I went there to indulge, I had my all time favourites, Californa Roll, Ebitem, fried roll and the crispy eel, hmmm, i can still taste it. The cozy and friendly staff, and the combination of value/ price, completes the great time I had.Only left to say is, I just can’t wait to go again!Send me your comments on your favourite sushi place here in Aruba, you never know, maybe you could get a free sushi roll!!
