Even though we live so close to so many awesome restaurants, we find ourselves eating at the same ol' places over and over again.
I would rather choose eating at Schnitz than going to a fancy restaurant to be honest.
Speaking of Schnitz, I sent The Husband to get me a wrap on the weekend and after he ordered my request the lady told him that he had my order wrong. Obviously I go there so often that she recognized him and knew he got my order wrong. My kind of woman!
Anyway, back to eating out.
My idea of the perfect dinner date meal would be Fish n Chips. That is all.
Living in the city we don't have any normal Fish n Chip shops, they are all gourmet. It sucks.
We headed to MoVida Aqui tonight, having called yesterday and were told that we could get a table at the original MoVida but only at 6PM which was too early for us, so MoVida Aqui it was.
Complimentary bread with salt and olive oil.
I prefer a dash of balsamic in my olive oil if eating with bread.
I just don't get the salt and olive oil thing at all.
The Husband was brave and tried the Smoke Eel tapas but I can't find it on the website and it wasn't on the specials menu either so I am left floundering.
The Husband says "It was good". He is also nodding.
Bocadillo De Calamares $7 each
Calamari Sandwich with Basque Guindilla and Mayonnaise
Damn these were good.
Next time I will order two each.
Definitely my favorite meal of the night, no challenge.
Mejillones $21.50
Jumbo Mussels cooked with Fino, Lemon and Parsley
These were pretty good, but I usually only eat steamed mussels with a very simple vinaigrette that my mum makes so this was going out on a limb for me.
What can I say, I told you that I have simple taste buds.
Gambas En Sal $18.50 - From the specials menu
Whole South Australian Prawns baked in Salt
Once I managed to peel these bad boys, as the prawn meat was so tender that it was flaking off every time I tried to peel it, I popped one in my mouth and was instantly overwhelmed by the salt.
I ate my next one with the dipping sauce and lemon and it was perfection. No complaints here.
Bomba $4.80 each
Catalan Potato Bomb filled with Chorizo
Oh yeah these bad boys hit the spot. I do like them. I don't love chorizo, but I do love potato and anything with potato is fine by me.
The Husband sighing at me and my ever present camera.
Don't worry though, I do put it away as soon as I have snapped the photo.
Carrillera De Buey $22.50
Slowly Braised Beef Cheek in Pedro Ximenez on Cauliflower Puree
This was just for The Husband but I snuck a bite and damn that meat was tender. We actually couldn't work out what the puree was at the time of eating, but now that I know it was Cauliflower I feel like I can sleep better at night.
I asked The Husband for a quote on this and he says:
"I give it 9/10. It only lost a point because I had to eat it whilst looking at your mug.".
Ha. What a freaking comedian he is. Right. Somebody is sleeping on the couch, and it aint me.
I started thinking that we hadn't ordered enough and that I was still hungry but it hit my stomach and I knew that dessert would be a challenge.
Churros Con Chocolate $12.50
Spanish Doughnuts with Rich Drinking Chocolate
Mmmm churros. Always so good, no matter where you get them, but these were exceptional.
I'm not really into the dipping chocolate though to be honest. Just like I don't like fondue chocolate.
The Husband ate the chocolate with a spoon.
I chose to wear a nice stretchy dress, perfect for eating.
I got this dress from Review about a month back, on sale for $60 so no complaints over here.
If I just blow dry my hair, without styling it and can manage to put up with lank hair for a day or two it starts to curl up at the ends, giving me this result which I love!

Anyhoo, I have a full belly and it's bed time!
Have you been to MoVida Aqui? Is it as good as MoVida and MoVida Next Door? I haven't been to either so cannot compare.

Pacos Tacos was closed when we got up there, I was ready for a pre-dinner taco too.
Most of my photos are really dark with a slight blur to them.
I can't bring myself to turn the flash on and risk people looking at me funnily, and I need to take photos fast when the food arrives otherwise The Husband gets impatient and might start a riot.
