First buffet plate during the Orosi Valley tour. |
A plethora of traditional dishes. All very fresh and tasty! |
Round Three at the buffet! |
Plantain fritters! These are called patacones. |
Guacamole, salsa, & red beans! Yum |
Main Course: Seabass with sauce containing mussels, shrimps, and octopus. Very tasty topped with some crispy noodles. |
Dessert. Mixed fruit shake. Big fan of the shakes! |
Mexican quesadillas fast food. All this for £5. |
Typical dish I got at lunch while working in San Jose. |
Costa Rican Lemon Beer |
Breakfast with salsa sausage. |
Prawns and mussels in a garlic and lime sauce. The fresh seafood was the best part of Costa Rican cuisine. |
Ceviche. Prawns, octopus, mussels, etc "sort of" cooked in the acidic lemon juices. Very tangy! |
Grilled Octopus Salad. A lovely healthy dinner! |
Gallo Pinto with scrambled egg. Typical Costa Rican breakfast. Dave sized portion |
Costa Rican Beer: Nice enough but nothing to blog home about. |
Not as nice as Pilsen but still drinkable |
Scallop served on polenta. The foam was delicious. Excellent and pricey starter from Grano de Oro. |
Red Skate: Cooked brilliantly. |
Almondy meringue. Delightful. |
Cafe Britt: Coffee flavoured liquor |
My final meal was a chicken burger and sweet potato fries. There was limited choice in the airport! |
But I did get an Oreo Haagen Daaz Shake |
