Smoothie found in Spain


The restaurant took their name from the first impression people feel toward Spain: passion, love, and warm. They want their customers to feel the same way when stepping into the restaurant. The outside decoration creates a parallel to their name: high bar chairs, brick-and-stone-built bar, yellow warm light, and wooden roof which gives the illusion to people for being on an island in the Mediterranean. The restaurant is famous for the drinks such as smoothie, juice made from seasonal fruits, cocktail for special holiday and slush. While they has various kinds of drinks on the menu, some of them are only available in certain time. That is the reason why the restaurant change the menu or add new dishes, drinks in occasion.

The first time I went there was in a chilly, cold day so I didn't order the popular smoothie. Instead, I got several recommended dishes which are famous as well.

















Potato with cheese, mushroom and risotto. The baked potato with warm cheese and mushroom tastes  flavored especially in a freezing, cold day on an empty stomach. The risotto is cooked with savory sauce which is made from fresh, seasonal vegetables. The dish is sold in limited and the quantity is depending on how many potatoes they baked in a day.



















Braises rice with taro sauce. This one is my father's favorite. The dish is seasoned with appetizing taro, shiitake (an edible mushroom which is commonly used in Asia), and edamame; bell peppers, green brocoli are put in as well. The sweet tasting from the rice and savory flavor surrounded with taro are just wonderful in your mouth. That's why my father ordered twice for this dish and at last, we had five set meals in total for mere three people.


















Rice with Indian curry sauce and cheese. Not until I was about to finish did I notice that I hadn't take picture yet. I think I was too hungry then. I enjoyed the savor of curry combines with pepper and other ingredients which I could't recognize then.
