A blog about food and pleasure. Wednesday, August 23, 2006. Just by chance I discover this concept. It is very interesting: Checking food labels to ensure compliance with Islam's dietary laws. Here in Malaysia this has a big relevance. Posted by Nadie at 6:36 am. Sunday, August 20, 2006. Babe in the city. Fk wok chai sotong har sambal. Originally uploaded by babe kl.

A blog about food and pleasure. Sunday, October 29, 2006. I like to open a window from this blog to this initiative from my friend Rene. In his blog, in spanish, he explains an academic discrimination case and how a High Court had ruled against discrimination. Please, visit Endogamia en la Universidad. And if you are interested in avoid this kind of discrimination please distribute. Posted by Nadie at 11:24 pm. Saturday, October 28, 2006. Sevilla, qué maravilla. Posted by Nadie at 6:39 pm.

A blog about food and pleasure. Saturday, May 26, 2007. Thanks to this obsesive routine of security checking I had my portion of humiliation at Schipol Airport. Not only I had to leave two litters of good tequila, bought at the Mexico City Airport, with all the seals and benedictions but also I have registered like a terrorist for arguing against these crazy and stupid rules. We have to keep thanking Mr. G.W Bush for all this. Posted by Nadie at 3:10 pm. Friday, May 25, 2007. Posted by Nadie at 9:30 pm.

A blog about food and pleasure. Monday, December 18, 2006. It is certainly not hard to eat well in this town and we did at the Pestana Palace. But since that goes without saying, it does not really justify an entry. Posted by Julian at 8:15 pm. Not long after Ulises's post about tapas in Helsinki, another interesting find was made just around the corner from Mecca (where Ulises ate), just off the Esplanade. Has a busy restaurant at Kasarmikatu 44 (see http:/ www.olo-ravintola.fi. Monday, December 11, 2006.

A blog about food and pleasure. Thursday, June 21, 2007. Zurriola, 1 . Donostia 20002. Gipuzkoa. Tel 34 943003162 Fax 943003164. In a magnificent location. A renewed traditional basque cuisine. I was there with Helena Martínez the first time and I just returned with Roberta, Fabio, and other friends. I have to say I had a splendid surprise. The list of wines is well-balanced. Posted by Nadie at 11:22 am. Thursday, June 14, 2007. I visited, in July of 2000, Las Lilas. Posted by Nadie at 6:44 am.

A blog about food and pleasure. Thursday, April 12, 2007. Chaussée de Charleroi 39. 1060 Brussels. Tel 32 2.537.44.47. Once again, today, I returned to Nöi, one of our favourite places in Brussels. I discovered it by chance with Helena Martínez before going Thailand for the first time last year. Ever since I return and I enjoy the cooking and the ambiance. It is a small place reservations are recommended. They have a good cellar and they offer good choices from Chile and Australia. El Refugio del puerto.

A blog about food and pleasure. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. During the last 8 days I have been re-visiting some favourite places to enjoy the pleasures of autumm. From those I like to recall first L'aliança d'Anglès. I was there yesterday With Manel Poch and the set menu was just perfect, as always. It pays the trip. Also, I revisited Zure Etxea. With Francesc Solé-Parellada and they have a new taster menu. It deserves the visit. We had a journey through the flavours of Autumm. Just Perfect. 22 Chakrap...

A blog about food and pleasure. Wednesday, February 14, 2007. Indochine (C/Aribau 247, 08021 Barcelona; 3493 2019984). Lots of new sensations, cooked and served by real natives in a green. But maybe a little noisy atmosphere. Also, the wine list is too short. No idea about prices because I was invited (thanks Ulises! Up-date: We returned one week ago. The food is very good but the portions are rather small. Posted by Nadie at 3:17 pm. El Refugio del puerto. Ristor Arte il Margutta.

A blog about food and pleasure. Saturday, September 30, 2006. The last days have been very bussy and it is time to report the places I have been. On Thursady I was visiting Madrid and I went to have lunch to Calle 54. It was a recommendation by Helena Martínez. My first suprise was that they belong to Group Paradis, that is always a quality assurance. The food was correct as expected, not expensive. The wine list is correct in variety and prices. The service was correct. For dinner we tried Gurú. Noude l...
