What is the difference between Samosas of India, Spring Rolls of
China, and Chagio of Vietnam???, the stuffing right? ...... On the same theme,
here is the new snack, with stuffing that contains a piece of white cheese,
wrapped with a spinach leaf and fried in the crispy rice flour wrapping, served
in the bed of sweet and sour sauce with a dash of soya sauce....imagine the
taste….its yum...gone in a second leaving behind its lingering taste....but
wait.....what I like the best is...er..the serving appetizer spoons...I need to
buy those......
The chef said, “Its on the house, my new creation”.
He was introducing a new snack, Paquetos de quesos y espinaca con salsa agridulce and he wanted me
to try it.
I gave him full marks.
I like restaurants that care for its clients and are always
trying new creations and this Italian restaurant ‘Tasca Pizzeria Maracay’ gets a brownie point.
I actually went for pizza because that is what it specializes
in. They have oven-roasted pizzas with great variety of combination. We ordered
three kinds
Pizza cuatro
quesos: Pizza with four different cheeses: Mozzarella, Parmesan,
Camembert, rogurfort.
Pizza
Stramboli: with tuna, ham and prawns
Pizza
Vegetariana: with Mushroom, asparagus, black olives and capsicum.
The oven-roasted pizzas have their distinct burnt taste, that
sets it apart from the normal ones.
Since most of the Spanish food has bland taste, I like
restaurants that have good sauces to go with the meals. We ordered ‘Queso asado con dos mojos (cilantro and
rojo pimientos’ which is actually roasted white cheese soaked in two sauces
:coriander and red capsicum.
We also had a pretty looking salad, okay, it was not just
pretty, it was delicious too. With the combination of rocket leaves, lettuce,
black and green olives, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, red cabbage, basil, olive oil, it is hard to
imagine it can be anything but tasty….
Tasca Pizzeria
Maracay’ is an Italian restaurant in the north of the island at La
Guancha in Tenerife. It has very good ambience with pine furniture and many
artifacts decorating the walls. They have bamboo furniture outside in the open
and on a bright sunny day, it’s a perfect place to spend an afternoon.
