you can't come to spain and leave without trying these grubbin' goodies.
bocadillos calamares: here´s a treat everyone could love. you order it and they deep fry the calamari on the spot.. for my first bocadillo, i wasn´t used to the dryness and was tempted to ask for ketchup.. but rather than insult the cook, i ate without complaints and learnt a good lesson- the freshness of calamari needed no sauce for ass-kickin´purposes. it was such a delight to sink your teeth into those chewable calamari.. i hereby declare this my favourite adopted snack from spain.
museo del jamon aka musuem of ham. vegetarians and peta: keep out. there is a ver very pungent scent of cured jam.i would recommend a visit to this museo (apart from the fact that entrance fee is nil) but don't come banging on my door if the perverse stench of ham haunts you for the next couple of days.
paella: paella to the spanish is like hainanese chicken rice to singaporeans. oily- check. flavourful- check. yang and i couldn´t go home without trying the different varieties.. from the normal seafood to our most daring affair of them all, the arroz negro (paella in squid ink).. from terraza outdoor cafes, to proper sit-down restaurants.. WE HAD THEM ALL. we even tried a takeway version from el conigles. personally, the paella is a little too oily for me.. how ironic considering how i love my greasy greasy roast meats and deef fried calamari.. haha..
