Restaurant Crawl II: Anada, Wabi Sabi and Movida

Once again I had the perfect occasion to go on a restaurant crawl. With the cravings I had, it determined which restaurants my friend Nick and I would go to.

First stop, Anada.

Anada Bar and Restaurant offers Southern Spanish food and Mediterranean flavours. The dishes are tapas style and this is what we ate.

Fresh coffin bay oysters

Choritzitos

Stuffed calamari with sumac

Fried Guernica peppers with Murray River Pink salt

I love tapas style food. You get bite size items and you can have many different options. I love fresh oysters and the choritzito. I have been mainly craving for the peppers and to my surprise...I think more than half were qualified to raise the fire drill to wash the fire out in my mouth!!! The stuffed calamari was ok, just didn't tickle my fancy.

Wabi Sabi

Stuffed chicken wing with Gyoza pork dumpling filling

Diced fresh tuna sashimi, avocado and cucumber marinated in spicy soy

Whole flounder tempura with grated daikon ponzu sauce

Wabi Sabi Restaurant on Smith St was our second stop. We chose more substancial dishes to fill our bellies. The tuna salad was very refreshing in the mouth and we can never say no to stuffed chicken wings!! On the plus side, the flounder was very tasty and the fillets removed from the bone. The bones were tempura battered and fried as well which you could eat the tail and the fins. The vegetables included sweet potato and lotus roots.

 Sopa aju con Vieira: Rottnest island Scallop in Garlic soup

 Croquetta de choco con su tinta: Squid ink croquetta with cuttlefish

Cordero al chilindron: Pyrenees wet roast lamb breast with Fino and paprika sauce

Flan con Pestinos: Creme caramel served with spicy sherry pastries

Churros: Rich drinking chocolate and spanish doughnuts

It's been awhile since I've been to the original Movida. We decided we still were hungry for more savouries and settled on a few small tapas. I definitely felt like we chose the best three dishes ever!! The scallop dish was so good, I wanted more of the broth and wish we had kept some bread to lap up the last bit. The croquette was a delight although tiny, and the lamb just melts in your mouth!! The desserts are always simple but awesomely satisfying, especially the flan.

Yum yum!!! So full!!!
