Brazil baby!

With the Worldcup on the road, I shall post something in accordance to this hot event. Not the whole thing, but one particular country, which is also the favourite of most people, Brazil.

During exam period last semester, while having breakfast and reading newspapers, boyfriend and I found this irresistable offer, 1-for-1 Brazillian Dinner buffet. Well, I myself have never tried this exotic country's food before and since boyfriend is a meat lover, we decided to try it. (Relaxation in the middle of stress period is very important). So we cut out the coupon and boyfriend called to book a seat for two. On the designated day, we trained all the way to Novena for Fiesta Brasilia. We reached there too early for dinner, so we just walked around the shopping mall (Got some chicken pie because we were both too hungry!)

Before we go into the food, let's talk about the ambience first. This Brazillian store, certainly knows how to keep everything authentically Brazillian. On the television, was the football. On the billboard, was a beautiful lady dressed up in sey Samba costume. On the menu, also some Samba-ing ladies. The napkins are green in color and even the chefs, I suspect, are Brazillian. This store is located in United Square Novena, on a waterfall deck. So great ambience, great scenery, away from all the hustles and bustles of shoppers and traffics.

Now it's time for the food. This store practices churrascaria, which means barbecued with charcoal for all their meats. Besides that, they have a salad bar for those people like me who are omnivores. After the salad, then out came a few tall chefs, or more accurately passadors, that serve us cut meat straight from the metal bar. Well, the picture below will tell you more.

From top to bottom: Chicken heart, beef steak, beef flank, pork rib, chicken wings, pork ham and pork sausages..to name a few dishes

They serve meats, ranging from chicken, beef, mutton, pork and fish. Well it's just 5 types of meats you think. But it's different parts of the poultry that you can eat from the normal meat to it's internal organs. For me, I dislike internal organs, so I skipped all those. But I enjoyed eating most of the meat except the fact that the beef are a little bit too raw for me. To me, the best servings were the garlic bread (Charcoal-baked), the bacon-chicken wrapped, and also this roasted pineapple.

Garlic Bread, Grilled fish, juicy pineapple and chicken-bacon wrapped

The pineapple was extremely juicy and sweet after being roasted. The heat, melted all the glucose (sugar) inside the pineapple, causing the juice heavenly sweetness. And as we know, with whatever roasted food, it smells so good.

Oh and did I said that they have ice-cream as well. Ermm....nothing special. Hahaha... but by the end of the day, boyfriend and I was so stuffed that we have trouble walking straight (but managed to keep posture somehow). After another short walk around United Square, we headed back to school to face the reality of studying.

It was too bad that we could not stay on longer for the passadors to perform for their guests. They will play Brazillian musics and well, interested people can dance along. I might even get to see the real Samba! But nonetheless, Brazillian food is delicious!

Well, let's just wish good luck to Brazil for Worlcup 2010.
