Aloha Everyone,
J.J., as most of you know, is much more adventurous than I am when it comes to dining local-style. Occasionally, J.J. also gets a craving for Chinese food. Last night I acquiesced and we went to Hong Kong Restaurant. We stepped in and were greeted “¡Hola! “Nǐ hǎo” and “Hello”. I guess the employee wanted to cover all the bases.
Our food was so-so though I ate only a little of soup and a bit of mushroom, pepper without chicken. This morning J.J. woke up feeling violently ill. Thus began my solo adventure day.
I went to have a quick breakfast in the hotel cafeteria, then walked to the nearby Farmacia (Pharmacy) to purchase medicines for him. My second trip was to the fruit shop for kaki (persimmons) and pears and a liter of water.
I kept J.J.’s company though he slept most of the day. One place I wanted to see, the synagogue in the Walled City has to wait until our next visit.
Here is a selection of our meals and snacks in Toledo:
Gastronomy lunch:
Garbanzo beans with cuttlefish stew served with potato omelet
Roasted shoulder of Lamb
Dessert: Toledo's Moorish influence, almond mazapán.
Absolutely delicious and well worth €53 we paid inclusive of 2 bottles of water, taxes and service charges
Menú del día
Stuffed red pepper or paella
Grilled Lamb chops or Grilled Squid
Chocolate cake
Snack
Chocolate con churro
Yum but not a healthy choice.
Aloha -- Cathi
