Because we’re such hipster-in-the-know-cool-peoples (not) we went to Naked for Satan on Thursday, for my belated birthday dinner. And it was delicious.
It’s a pintxos bar which is a style of eating experience (similar to Sushi train) where you pick and choose your meal from a pre-prepared bunch of little treats, each treat has a tooth pick which they count at the end. Naked for Satan charge $2 per piece, which is exceptionally cheap considering the quality, style and deliciousness.

So, hello! It’s been too long…
Work has been going bananas so many 14 hr days have left me with zero energy literally falling asleep as soon as I land home.

Mart 130 is famous for their oven roasted corn fritters, and I’m certainly a repeat visitor to this dish. The fritters have a home & hand made feel, and being oven roasted they’re quite light, when you add the crunchy bacon, sour cream, coriander & a fruit chutney it’s an absolute sensation.
