"Like Spain In Taipei"

Belated Birthday Celebrations for both Sue & David were spent having dinner at a restaurant none of us have ever been to before - GUSTO Spanish Restaurant - located very close to Juliana's home.... it was recommended by Sue, and was discovered by a colleague of hers.... What A Find!!! We unanimously love the ambiance, the portions and the tasty food, itself...

One after another, each dish was served to us at a leisurely manner... so we did not feel as if we were being rushed though it was a really happening Saturday nite... So we were able to taste & savour each and every dish that came.... and savory each of them were.... just the right amount of spices... pretty authentic except for the clam/beef dish that did not taste as if they belong together... but truly, from the salad starter right to the Paella Valenciana served at the very end - it was just TASTY, TASTY, TASTY....

What could have topped it off better would have been a really cool sweet dessert.... which alas, i felt they failed to deliver.... of course, the opinion is a bit biased as I have such a sweet tooth... but this opinion was shared by a couple of others, so it was not just me... a flan would have sufficed but instead we got some kind of pudding... quite bland... which is not a good compliment to all that flavours we just had... but as an extra bonus to the birthday celebrants, we were given sliced apples cooked in wine and sugar... this was tasty indeed... but still, was not enough to satisfy my sweet tooth...Overall, the nite was GREAT! ... fun and great company.... nice chats.... great food.... lovely place - that actually makes you feel you are somewhere in Spain - with Spanish music playing in the background; giant Spanish posters adorning the walls; and bits and pieces of things that reminded me of Spain... .... a place that I could recommend and would definitely go back to again.....
