PRE - MOTHER'S DAY LUNCH (En - Es)



ENGLISH

Hello, good morning everyone. Today I will not post my own recipes, but a place where I went to eat this weekend. This reminded me of the executive lunches that I used to prepare during the pandemic season, which had a little bit of everything on the same tray, and sold them at affordable prices. In this case, it is a place where they put a wide variety of food and you choose what you want to eat until you assemble a tray that is then weighed, and the price is per kilo. In my case, the tray I put together was less than half a kilo, and I was able to put a little bit of everything I wanted to taste.

This place is very versatile, I have already visited it and posted about it other times but for different reasons, since it is a supermarket, a bar, a cafe, a playground, and a restaurant. This weekend I took a pre-Mother's Day break to walk around and do some shopping for my dessert venture, and it was lunch time inside the place, so we decided to have lunch there and try the much praised lunches they offer. I have only been there for coffee, and months ago I went with my son to eat hallacas, very tasty indeed.





Already in front of the platters with the trays, I was inclined to put together a menu of Chinese food that I like so much and that I haven't enjoyed for a long time. This is one of the meals that I have not yet decided to prepare myself. I have made some similar salads with a cabbage base and soy sauce, but I can't get anywhere near their flavor. They definitely have special ingredients.

Something I didn't point out, this shopping center and restaurant, is Asian, so the Chinese menu they offer is authentic. So I assembled my tray with a special Chinese rice with chicken, shrimp and vegetables; a chicken chot suey, and a chicken curry stew with potatoes. My friend and partner in the venture, who accompanied me to do the shopping, opted for the same but with a sweet and sour chicken stew with pineapple. We ordered some delicious strawberry and parchita juices before eating. Everything was delicious, and the price was quite affordable.

This place is located on the Intercomunal Tigre - Tigrito, in the Guanipa Shopping Center, and is called Centro de Compras VIP. On family Sundays it is very busy, and not to mention Mother's Day, there were no tables available, according to what I was told, so I enjoyed my pre-Mother's Day in a quiet place, good atmosphere, and good food.

I hope you continue having a wonderful day, it will be until a new publication with my recipes or of some special place I visit.... thanks for visiting my blog.



ESPAÑOL

Hola, buenos días a todos. Hoy no publicaré mis propias recetas, sino un sitio donde fui a comer este fin de semana. Esto me recordó los almuerzos ejecutivos que preparaba en época de pandemia que llevaban de todo un poco en una misma bandeja, y los vendía a precios accesibles. En este caso, se trata de un sitio donde colocan una gran variedad de comidas y uno mismo escoge lo que desea comer hasta armar una bandeja que luego se pesa, y el precio es por kilo. En mi caso, la bandeja que armé no llegó a medio kilo, y pude ponerle un poquito de cada cosa que yo quería degustar.

Este sitio es muy versátil, ya lo he visitado y publicado otras veces pero por diferentes razones, ya que es supermercado, quincalla, cafetín, zona de juegos, y restaurante. Este fin de semana me tomé un descanso pre día de las madres para pasear y hacer unas compras de mi emprendimiento de postres, y nos agarró la hora del almuerzo dentro del lugar, así que decidimos almorzar allí y probar los tan ponderados almuerzos que ofrecen. Yo sólo he ido a tomar café, y meses atrás fui con mi hijo a comer hallacas, muy sabrosas por cierto.





Ya frente a las fuentes con las bandejas, me incliné por armar un menú de comida china que tanto me gusta y que hace bastante tiempo no disfrutaba. Ésta es una de las comidas que aún no me he propuesto elaborar yo misma. He preparado algunas ensaladas parecidas con base de repollo y salsa de soya, pero no le llego a su sabor por ningún lado. Definitivamente, ellos tienen ingredientes especiales.

Algo que no puntualicé, este centro de compras y restaurante, es asiático, por eso el menú chino que ofrecen es auténtico. Así que armé mi bandeja con un arroz chino especial de pollo, camarones y vegetales; un chot suey de pollo, y un guiso de pollo al curry con papas. Mi amiga y socia en el emprendimiento, que me acompañó a hacer las compras, optó por lo mismo pero con un guiso de pollo agridulce con piña. Pedimos unos ricos jugos de fresa y parchita antes de comer. Todo estaba delicioso, y el precio bastante económico.

Este sitio está ubicado en la Intercomunal Tigre – Tigrito, en el Centro Comercial Guanipa, y se llama Centro de Compras VIP. Los domingos familiares está muy concurrido, y ni hablar del día de las madres, no quedaban mesas disponibles, según me comentaron, así que mi pre día de las madres lo disfruté en un sitio tranquilo, buen ambiente, y con buena comida.

Espero que sigan pasando un día maravilloso, será hasta una nueva publicación con mis recetas o de algún sitio especial que visite... gracias por visitar mi blog.

Hi, yes, and the good thing is that we went when it wasn't crowded. We bought quickly and were able to eat in a very nice atmosphere. The food was very good too.

This beautiful dish with shallots is very delicious and wonderful to eat. It will be a real pleasure to go for coffee. I like to eat tomatoes in some special dishes. I especially like the vegetables in this special food package. But the time you spent with your son before reminds you to eat this dish.
