Lipstick Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) you're right on the money here!!!! the "tutong" part and literally scrapping the bottom of paellera adds to the gusto of this dish!!! the paella at la tienda and patio guernico are notorious for its tutong... i just had breakfast and i'm craving for paella...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haha then we can never a paella meal together Mr. Masi because we will be fighting over the tutong! I've gone to La Tienda on their off days, haven't tried Patio Guernico yet. But of the places I have frequented it is ñ and Alba's that are consitent with the texture and flavor of their paella. Hehe natatawa ako Mr. Masi, minsan I get confused which thread I am in.... Wine Savvy ba, 36&Up, MILF or this Vamos a Comer thread dahil nag nag cro-crossover ang mga diskusyones!

Wyld Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Rancid. That's right!

It has a small deli on the left side upon enterring the place. Quote Link to comment

It's really masarap! :boo: Now that sounded really KAKA. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Uy that does sound familiar. I dont even like beans that much (dba bean family ang chickpea?) pero that one was reallyl good... :boo: Hehe... bagay that way of talking sa La Tienda - kse when we ate there parang puro mga espanyol looking creatures ang andun eh On a related note. I am still craving for paella. Wala pa din ako mahanap na malapit na spanish place dito. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 paella is good anytime with me bods... as long as we wash it down with a pinot or a chiraz or a taste of the old world.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> hehehe.... do I hear Barcino on Thursday? Quote Link to comment

Literally, jamon serrano simply means mountain ham ("serrano" being one of the Spanish words for mountain. Others include montaña, etc)<{POST_SNAPBACK}> aha!may natutunan na naman ako thanks a lot, pare, and yes, I got your PM... barring any cataclysmic event, Thursday is on! :boo: Quote Link to comment

Also Otilio, which reputedly is a five-star resto in Zagat's Guides for two years' running, and El Hidalguense - both of which feature Mexican cuisine.... the best thing you could do is haul your sweet booty here and I'm sure mr. Masi will treat you at your favorite La Tienda Quote Link to comment
