This Halloween!You Came!You saw!You Ate!

Serving contemporary Spanish cuisine, Casa de Tapas opened in September, bringing new life to an old house with a charming terrace.A standout is the prawn tartar -- succulent, sweet prawns briefly marinated in lemon juice and combined with olive oil, which gives them a roundness in the mouth.

There's nowhere to hide with the dish, the prawns have to be the very best and a deft hand is required to add seasoning that elevates the natural taste of the seafood.
Other dishes include sous-vide suckling pig, paella, and stuffed squid.

8th Must-Try Food-Almond Cookies and Sweet Pork Jerky

These two items are often sold by the same vendor, and are found everywhere.One the best known places to buy them is Koi Kee Bakery, with numerous branches.Its almond cookies are baked on the premises, and have a gritty texture and nutty flavor, made with mung bean flour.

A slight saltiness prevents them from being too sweet.There's also a varied selection of dried meats, ranging from spicy beef to wild boar.Samples of both are given out, as well as tastings of its other products, such as coconut ginger candy, peanut candy and black sesame cookies.
