今日は、先日お友達と行って美味しかった「Binomio」に夫と夕食に行って来ました。メインの場所ではなく奥まったところにあるお部屋のテーブルに通されました。
We had dinner at Binomio, where I thought was very good when I had dinner there with my friends a couple of weeks ago. We were taken to a smaller room back of the main part.
最初に出てくる、マンチェゴチーズとカリンのゼリー。
Manchego cheese and Quince jelly.
チーズのテリーヌ、蜂蜜をかけたもの。先日美味しかったので。
Cheese terrine with honey – I liked it last time so we ordered it.
チーズについてくるパン、ナッツ（シード？）が入っていて美味しい。
Bread that comes with the above cheese is also very nice, it has nuts or/and seeds.
野菜のグリル、スモークオリーブオイル。
Grilled vegetables with smoked olive oil.
イベリコ豚の肩肉の焼いたもの、これも先日美味しかったので。
Iberico pork shoulder. I liked it before and it was very good today, too.
仔牛のミンチボール。これは思いっきりゲイミーでラムのような味がして、わたしはいただけず。夫は美味しいと食べていました。
Mince balls of veal. This was extremely gamy to me, it tasted like lamb and I couldn’t eat it. My husband liked it, though.
もう１品、パンプキンとブロッコリーをオーダーしていましたが忘れられていたようで、ここでお腹もかなりいっぱいになってしまっていたのでキャンセルしていただきました。代わりに、デザートにチュロスをオーダー。スペインに行ったことがないので本物のチュロスを知らないのでわかりませんが、ちょっと太過ぎて中まで火が通っていずねっとりしていたのが気になりましたが、それを除けばサクサクと美味しく揚がっていました。
We had ordered one more dish (pumpkin & broccoli) but they seemed to have forgotten and by the time we had the above we were both quite full so we asked them to let us cancel it. We ordered a dessert, though – churos. We’d never been to Spain and had the real churos so I don’t know what it’s supposed to be, but we thought it wasn’t cooked all the way through, there was some wet dough in the middle. However, apart from that, it was nicely deep-fried and light.
ガス入りのお水１本とワイン１本とで、お会計は２４０ドル弱でした。メインをオーダーせずタパスばかりだったので、比較的リーズナブルでした。タパスの割には量が多いので、２人だと４品プラスデザートくらいで十分な気がします、特に今日お昼にしっかりいただいていたのでわたしはあまりお腹が空いていず、夫にかなり多めに食べてもらいました。
We had a bottle of sparkling water and a bottle of wine and the bill was a little less than S$240. We didn’t order any main dishes because their tapas come in quite a large portion for 2, so the bill was quite reasonable. I think 4 tapas and a dessert between 2 is probably about the right amount but I did have a full lunch and wasn’t so hungry and my husband had quite a lot more than I did.
シーフードやお魚系も多いですが、スペイン料理にしてはわたしも食べられるものが多い方だと思います。夫も気に入っていたようで良かったです。ただ、サービスに当たった方愛想があまりよくなくて、シンガポールはこれがね〜、夫はちょっと怒ってました（笑）。男性のスタッフはまぁ感じ良いのですが、女性陣がね。わたしはもうすっかり諦めて、こんなものよ、と慰めましたが（笑）。
There are many fish and seafood items but I think they have quite a lot of items I can eat for a Spanish restaurant. My husband also enjoyed the meal. The only thing is that female staff who was in charge of us wasn’t very nice and my husband was complaining about them to me how they should train their staff better. I eat out a lot with my friends so I think I sort of got used to the bad service and don’t seem to bother me as much as it used to these days. Their male staff is friendly but not female staff. I thin that the female staff don’t mean to be rude but they don’t smile at all (it’s probably to do with the culture) so they looks so to us.
