The Spanish Fly

not the actual creature, but the restaurant that i went to with some mates the other night was quite frankly, amazing. what sucked was that the camera was at home HOMAIGAWD *facepalms* i had an inkling i'd want to bring it, but thought against it for some reason..

they serve tapas (small serving-fingerfood-snacky foods) - each of which were quite awesome. I'll list the ones I can remember:
- Meatballs in a tomato base spicy sauce
- Chorizo (this epic tasting sausage)
- Queensland Prawns, with hollandaise sauce. As my friend put it "the prawns and the sauce just melt in your mouth"
- Calamari with an olive based paste
- Sourdough with three dips (beetroot, guac and this other orange thing)
- Portugese style chicken, not really spanish but who cares, it was heaps good.
- Tortellini filled with mushrooms
- Haloumi cheese, the epic deep fried cheese!

also for dessert:
- forgot the name, but a kinda doughnut texture stick with a pure chocolate dip......

drinks:
a litre of sangria, REAL sangria.

each of the tapas ranged from 10-15 bucks each, not cheap since the portions are small, but what's lost in quantity is made up in quality heads down.

definitely going back there, WITH A CAMERA. i'm sure the other 3 who went with me would agree that it was one of the best dinners we've had in a looong while.
