Alegro - Spanish Street Food

Having browsed through the menu online I had my sights set on the Kamikaze which was a combination of vodka, triple sec, lemon juice but in the end i changed my choice to a Lime Daiquiri which was a combination of rum, triple sec, frozen lime instead. Good choice cos I really liked it. Esp the little crushed ice(i love chewing ice *grinz*)

Our host Jaime was warm and friendly and not just with us but even before that he was going around and making conversations with all the customers. He let us try a medley of items from their menu and I found the items all pretty unique(though slightly unhealthy since theyre all fried items-then again since when did i become health concious).

The items we tried Empanadas - Spanish Pastry Pie Croquetas - Tuna and béchamel cream Tortilla - Traditional Potato Omelette Fries Calamari Bocadillo de Serrano - Serrano Ham Baguette Bocadillo de Chorizo - Chorizo Baguette

He explained to us the difference between Serrano and Chorizo Serrano - Ham which is covered with salt for about two weeks to draw off excess moisture and preserve the meat from spoiling. The salt is washed off the ham hung to dry for about six months. Finally, the hams are hung in a cool, dry place for six to eighteen months, depending on the climate, as well as the size and type of ham being cured.

Chorizo - Sausage made from coarsely chopped pork and pork fat, seasoned with smoked pimentón (paprika) and salt.

The Empanadas were so much like the malay epok-epok(curry puffs), crust was crispy, not too thick and in it is either tender diced chicken with capsicum or tuna with capsicum. I liked this along with the Croquetas which was well basically a tuna croquette. The potato omelette was something new as i never actualli had omelette with potato. The calamari was my favourite though as the batter wasnt too thick, not too oily and the calamari wasnt rubbery!! The fries were unique as they used pepper and lemon salt. So it was refresingly tangy. As for the baguettes, I gather the rest did enjoy it.

I requested for the Bocadillo de Calamar - Calamari Baguette which was served with the Alioli sauce - Olive oil, garlic and mayonaise. I loved that baquette!! It was so nice with the Alioli(which i had a hard time pronouncin) sauce and part of me was glad I was full if not I would have ordered another one.

We were served another round of drinks afterwards, all very unique and tempting but since it was a Monday I figured it was better if I stayed away from the drinks.

Our desserts were Churros & Cheese Cake bites. Churros are star shaped spanish donuts which are long instead of round. Sprinkled with cinammon powder. I used to like buying them from Dairy Queen but this was different. It was pretty light and not too heavy like some donuts. And watching how its fried is pretty cool. But I loved the cheese cake bites. So sinful!!fried cheesecake and covered with chocolate sauce..mmmmmm...
