Sunday today, a needed break from the computers, from the TV, from the house. We strolled inside Glorietta to find lunch. Italianni’s was full house so we decided to eat at Dulcinea.

Dulcinea’s famous for their Churros con Chocolate and superb pastries since the 60’s.The restaurant’s ambiance encourages long meals and lengthy chitchats, that’s so Spanish-like.

The food was great, but the restaurant in Glorietta feels different. I like dining at Dulcinea in Power Plant, or in Greenbelt 1, service is more prompt and the place is much nicer there. Or maybe, because we were seated by the window and I could not help but be bothered by the passer-bys. Nonetheless the meal was wonderful. We only had Paella Marinera, of saffron rice with variety of seafood; shrimps, squid, and fish. The waiter informed us that there would be no shells because of the Red Tide. I didn’t know we have a red tide outbreak now. So okay no shells. But I would still go with another shrimp dish, Gambas al Ajillo, which was just perfectly tasteful, and the shrimps were so fat and good. We had complimentary mushroom soups, too, to sustain the hungry stomach for the long, but acceptable, waiting time of our orders. The Banana Crepes closed the almuerzo, and so we are full.

Gracias a Dios por la buena comida.
