Food Blog! It’s Barcelona Market Day :)

It’s a Saturday, which means, it’s Barcelona Market Day!!! *wooohooo!!!* I can’t tell you enough about the visual feast that was before my eyes when I went to the Mercat La Boquiera in Barcelona in La Rambla!

Let me share these photos. Allow yourself to drool, please. I’ll drool right along with you 🙂

LARD LEGS!!!!!!!! I looooooove!!!!! Had to bring home a few hundred grams of these. I’ll have them with some sliced ripe melon please! At this lard leg shop alone, I already had a feast *por favor, pwedo intentar un poco?* (My very little broken Español came in handy, no? hahaha)

Yes, feast just at the mouth of the market!

Fresh Fruit Juices– I ordered a Coconut- Pineapple concoction. It was fibrous but it was good!

Lots of fruit + vegetables everywhere!

Fresh chocolates in the market!!! Oh my! (Ok take a closer look at the 3rd to the right basket– hehehehe do you see chocolate b**bies? :D)

I also love these gummy candies! I had a LOT of them. Which probably resulted in a new cavity in my molar. Ouch!

Marzipan fruits. I was just tweeting about marzipan. I remember loving these when I was very, very young. Then somehow I forgot all about them. Then I saw these. All memories came rushing back. I am still trying to find a reason why I love them though. (In the process, my back tooth started aching hahaha. I need a dentist ASAP!)

Dragees. When I was preparing for my wedding, I thought about giving away silver almond dragees. I ended up with the robin’s egg blue ones 🙂 Now, if you didn’t get one of those dragees souvenirs on my wedding day, don’t feel shortchanged. I’m sure you ended up taking home one of those crystal flower decorations that were NOT supposed to be brought home as souvenirs hahahahahahaha 😀 (yes, seriously, I saw many of our guests hopping from table to table to take home parts of the crystal candelabras and crystal flowers hahaha! Now that I remember it, it was hilarious hahaha)!!*

Loads of berries and fruits, and mushrooms!

Spices to spice up your life 🙂

Ok, this post is seriously making me drool. I will now resume eating my marzipan fruits. Hopefully I won’t get a toothache anymore. Sigh, I really do need to see a dentist at Fort Med already.

Happy Weekend , peeps! Special thanks to Chef Stevie Villacin (aka Hainan Chicken Man :D) who sent me a trayful of Hainanese Chicken + Rice as a welcome home/ birthday present! 🙂 I worry I will gain weight again because I can’t resist the chicken rice!!
