I am naming this new kind of posts: Express Experiences. Why? I don’t know, but the name is catchy, isn’t it? 😁 Just kidding, I know why I call them this way. I usually take my camera when I know I’m going to talk about my experience in a restaurant. I really want to give as much credit as I can to the restaurant and I believe the qualitiy of the pictures is something they deserve. Nevertheless, this…
Once upon a time, Sílvia met Juan Carlos Perret, head chef of Kero. She tried his food in a gastronomic event where she was performing. She told him how she’d love to go to his restaurant but never could because whenever she was in Vigo, it was closed (Sunday is a bitch) He then told her he loved her music too, so they talked for a couple of minutes and there started a very beautiful relationship. Well, actually…not quite that….
A year ago I was involved in a car accident. It was very scary mainly for three reasons: 1) It happened in France and I was supposed to arrive in London for our tour the next day. 2) Carlos tried to avoid the car from crashing four times, but the ice made it impossible to stay on the road. 3) The car got out of the road and turned on one side, making it incredibly difficult to get out of…
I’ve told you about this contest last year, and I kep talking about it and I will probably talk about it next year. I used to have a hundred options and got really anxious about it. The good thing about being gluten-free and dairy-free (among other ingredient-free things) is that it narrows your choices. I’ve always thought that would be an inconvenient, but on the contrary, it makes it easier when I have to order in a…
I went to make some blood tests the other day. The good news is I don’t have anaemia anymore! The better news is…I went to The Good Cereal to have breakfast for the first time and it was: I really want to talk about breakfast and cereal. For those of you who have been following me for a while, or those who know me since I was a kid (Hi Mum, Grandma and Viví!) you know I love breakfast. My…
Koh Lanta turned one and I was there to see it. They invited everyone to an informal tasting to celebrate it. If you want a bit of background, here’s the first post I wrote about them. I had a lot of fun, tried old dishes that I already loved and some new flavours that didn’t disappoint me at all. The place was crowded in and outside and the staff rose up to the occasion by wearing traditional Vietnamese hats. I…
I’ve already told you that I get very anxious when something big related to food happens near me. Tapas Picadillo contest is always a good example. I even get to the point where I hate the contest for existing and making me take such hard decissions. And always the same question in my head…which tapas shall I try this year? This time I decided to take it easy and make a “small” selection of the tapas that I needed to…
Hey there again! I’m on the road to Granada today. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Escuchando Elefantes (@escuchando_elefantes) That’s like a 10 hours journey. Although I’ve been driving already, blogging is like the perfect hobbie. Why? Because if I am bored I can talk to you for as long as I want…I don’t mind if you stop readin. I understand. I think I need to talk about the rest of the dishes I tried for the…
Isn’t it ironic? A city where they offer you a free tapa with each drink anywhere holding a contest in which you have to pay for the tapas. Well, maybe not ironic, but your belly has to be ready for something like that. I’ve visited the city twice while this happened, they still offered you the free tapa even after ordering a paid one. I really wanted to try as many places as possible. It wasn’t possible to try more…
Ooops! I did it again! I went to Mijo Minibar and it was, as expected, delicious. Carlos and I decided to go do some busking in Vigo. We always love spending time there. After a morning playing in Ourense, we head towards Vigo in order to grab something to eat. Carlos suggested Mijo and I couldn’t say no. With our drinks came a glass of complementary olives and pickles, as well as some hummus. I was very glad about the…
