Spanish Cuisine








Bread, olives and wine are everywhere. Other essentials are the cured ham (very similar to proscuitto) and tapas tapas tapas!!! It is the quinessential culinary that you will not find outside Spain. These small rich dishes are reasonable (2-4 Euros) and tasty. They complement well with a glass of wine or beer. In fact, many locals stand around at bars, enjoying tapas, a good ole glass of beer, and good conversations. An excellent way for socialising. Interestingly, dinner starts late (quite similar to Singapore), between 9-10pm.

Other dishes I've tasted include paella, gazpacho (cold tomato soup) and Sangria (a famous wine drink). To me, it tastes a lil like the Singapore Sling (citrusy and sweet).
