I'm out on a frenzy!! - an eating frenzy that is.
Destination 1: el meson, Bangsar.
This was my first time dining in this restaurant. The only Spanish restaurant I've ever been to in Bangsar was the La Bodega. So this was my second Spanish restaurant. But I can assure you that Spanish dishes are just heavenly! The flavours in their food are alive, you can feel them dancing on your taste buds! Well, that's how I feel it.
La Bodega is more of a tapas n wine (well, that's why it's called tapas y vinos) restaurant. Good for hanging out with friends and for snacks if you don't want anything heavy or if you enjoy eating lots of different kind of food at one time.
el meson is more of a main dish - dining kinda place. They do serve tapas too but the main dishes are more tempting. Especially when there's pork involved. I've always been dying to try the roast sucking pig. Well now I can check that off from my list of things to do/eat.
Anyways, I really like the ambiance in the restaurant. I kinda felt like time stood still in there, where you can enjoy your meal, have some good laughs with friends and it never felt like it's time to go. We had to force ourselves to call for the bills.
The food was superb. The roast sucking pig didn't disappoint me. Tho in the picture it kinda look nasty and sad at some point, but I would definitely have it again. I love everything about it. The Paella Valenciana was kinda a lot but I just can't help myself from having more.
Desserts were great, especially the Chocolate Molten Lava. Our hands were scooping it non-stop. Affogato was delightful too, I like the coffee taste and the sprinkled nuts on it.
All in all, it was a delightful dinner we had at el meson. For a great dinner for the family or friends, I would say el meson is the place. But if you wanna hangout, have some drinks and have a good time with friends, La Bodega is the place to be. Both places serve superb Spanish cuisines.
