Nice to learn new cuisine...

healthy snack platter

welcome drinks...fresh lemonade& hibiscus juice

Yesterday we had dinner at our neighbours home. Welcome drinks were hibiscus drink and fresh lemonade. Hibiscus drink was new to me. I was gifted with a packet of dried hibiscus flower to prepare it back home. The snacks were a mix of cucumber and pineapple with spicy salty powder on it. They served the authentic Mexican dish to us. First time we tasted a chicken dish with chocolate as an ingredient.

Cheesy and creamy flan

Main course...chicken mole, corn taco and Spanish rice

In the travel channel, I have watched a show once using chocolate in a curry. I never ever thought once I will get the opportunity to taste such a curry. It was mole. Mole goes with tacos and rice. The tacos was made of corn flour so special of Mexico and the rice cooked in chicken broth. Altogether it was an amazing combination of authentic Mexican cuisine. The desserts were rice pudding with cinnamon and creamy flan. Thank you our dear friend for the honour. Love the way of your presentation of  the dishes and expression of the style cooking.
