Oh yeah, guanbing is delicious. I haven’t made it to china but spent a year in Taiwan, where I was lucky enough to live next to a zhua bing vendor – similar idea, except the pancakes were many, many layered and the vendor scrunched and stretched the pancake until it had a crispy + fluffy texture. I miss having access to street food…

Oh YUM!
I like how the donut is layered . It has a layer of chocolate with creme cheese in the middle it looks so good
I like the cutting board!
I definitely have a thing for tinned fish. Usually sardines as an early lunch. My wife won’t touch them

Did you actually eat that, or just photograph it? Are those prawns?
We both studied in Madrid Capital which is how we met …
So we love Madrid.
My parents had alot of business in Madrid as well. So it is a trip we make at least 3 or 4 times a year.
We have friends who are from Barcelona who relocated for professional positions …
So we always enjoy the city and the retail therapy ! And dining out of course.
Thank you and have a lovely weekend. We are home now and it is already 23.30.

Wow! I’ve always been curious: Is it served on that “plate”, or is that only for the photography?
This is a black slate slab from a region famous for its Architecture of Black Slate in the neighbouring region of Guadalajara (Spain), and the " Ruta (route) de “Arquitectura de Pizarra” (slate) … Ocejon, Valverde de Los Arroyos & Majaelrayo.
This is not a plate. We use alot of slate slabs and earthenware clay depending on what is being served.
Plates are alot more formal.

new kick for me: Congee. had some at a brunch this weekend, and today i made my own, with some ginger/chicken broth i had in the freezer. Also, a little baked salmon, crispy fried garlic, and pickled radish, all from H Mart. Maggi seasoning, sesame oil, grated ginger, EBTB, cilantro, and scallions. Delish!

Nice one, Maria. Looks a bit risotto-ish but it’s a personal preference. And I add Maggie to a lot of things, even various pasta (the kind without cheese).
A bit odd that I dislike rice but really enjoy eating savoury porridges (tend to be less thick.

Looks great! I’d love to hear about your H Mart visit and haul. I live a little north of San Francisco, and have already put together a shopping list for the new one on Alemany. Thought I’d wait until the crowds to die down a little though.

i went on Sat. morning and it wasn’t that bad. i think i left at 10:30, and there was a line around the side to pay, but it went really fast. i got a lot of pickled things, a bunch of cooked items for lunch for my sister and I (too much), some bulgogi, pork belly, etc., veggies, dinosaur plums (pluots), korean rice syrup (to make bulgogi at home), crispy fried garlic, ssamjang, gochujang, different kinds of ramyun, etc. i went overboard, as if they were shutting down the next day! it’s only 13 minutes away from me. ridic.
