Most of you can probably tell, i love tapas. its my go-to kind of meal when eating out whether small groups or larger parties. its the atmosphere, the fact that you can taste bits of everything and because you can always enjoy with wine!

Last night, caught up with Sarah and we went to the new Tapavino around the Quay area. Ironically, we had to walk past our old workplace *shudder*... But in this little alleyway off a main street is where the dual-level wine bar was located and it was gorgeous. And almost felt like something out of Europe, complete with the little al-fresco tables on the sidewalk and cobble stones.

The bar smelt AMAZING inside of cured meats (jamon). And we were seated upstairs. Pretty attentive waiters and a really really really good wine list. I had the white wine with melon and citrus flavours. It was really refreshing although 2 glasses did give me a slight headache the morning after. Strange, considering on the weekend, had a lot more than 2 glasses at Cherry's reception. I did feel a little warm after too. Maybe it was because we didn't have too much to eat.

We shared 3 tapas and 2 of them i can rave on about for days. The eggplant toscado with goats curd is really fresh and crispy. And the Mushroom and Black truffle tart with jamon is to die for. Next time, I'm having one of those for myself - not sharing!! Word of advice though, give the lamb sweetbreads a miss! The short ribs and avocado and crab toscado looked amazing too. So did a few of their saladas! Yes, i really want to go back!!!

Pretty early night for us, have to admit that i was probably still feeling a little weary adjusting to daylight savings time! I should have worked from home today - there is literally no one in the office :-(
