Don Quixote

Having finally reached the quarter century milestone, we went out to celebrate with dinner at Don Quixote whish is located amongst all the other Spanish restaurants in the Spanish Quarter.

The food was fairly average. Nice, but not spectacular.

The Cheungs went for the Paella Valenciana, a generous sized paella for two, packed with a good selection of seafood and a tonne of rice. It seemed to me that some of the rice was a little undercooked, but maybe it's just my personal preference.

Paella Valenciana: Spanish national rice dish cooked with chicken, prawns, mussels, scallops and blue swimmer crab.

Smelly nerd couldn't resist the suckling pig, a slab of tender pork covered with crispy crackling. Not bad, but doesn't beat the suckling pig from Chinese BBQ shops.

Toston Sancho Panza: Suckling pig, basted and stuffed with a traditional seasoning.

Patrick's seafood stew was similar to the paella minus the rice. In his opinion, the best dish of the night.

Cazuela de Mariscos: Seafood caserole with fish, prawns, mussels, scallops and fresh herbs.

With all the house specialties claimed, I opted for the the steak which was suprisingly cooked to medium rare, as requested. This was accompanied with steamed/baked veggies and mushrooms - yum!

We decided to forgo dessert from Don Quixote and instead went to the Festival Cafe in Darling Harbour. We ogled at the cake display before deciding to share the baked cheesecake and tiramisu.

A sweet finish to a food filled evening... bliss!
