Durante los últimos años, no solo en Madrid sino en cualquier gran ciudad del país,

estamos observando el aumento de nuevos restaurantes de comida asiática, en los

que se deja de lado el cliché de restaurantes chinos o buffet wok de barrio al que
muchos estamos acostumbrados. En su lugar, cada vez más se está apostando por
ofrecer al cliente los sabores más auténticos con los ingredientes más naturales y
frescos.

Un ejemplo muy claro de este concepto es el que ofrecen en el Restaurante Tuk Tuk,
en el que nos ofrecen su versión del street food con el sabor más auténtico de la cocina
del sudeste asiático, a unos precios accesibles para el gran público.

¿Cómo es el Restaurante Tuk Tuk?

Desde hace un tiempo, a través de las redes sociales, hemos comprobado como poco a
poco el Restaurante Tuk Tuk ha ido creciendo en popularidad y con opiniones
siempre favorables. Es por ello por lo que nosotros, como grandes aficionados a la
comida asiática y el street food, no queríamos perder la oportunidad de probar esta
combinación tan apetecible.

Street Food Asiático en Madrid

El objetivo del Tuk Tuk es trasladar el concepto del street food asiático, o comida
callejera, a la capital madrileña. La carta que ofrecen en el restaurante podríamos
dividirla en varias categorías: Arroces, Ensaladas, Barbacoa, Curry Thai, Noodles y
Sopas. Nosotros en nuestro caso nos decidimos a probar dos platos quizá conocidos
para aquellos que conocen bien la comida asiática, como son Malasyan Satai y Phad
Thai, y una recomendación especial del restaurante, Udang Goreng Lada Hitam, todo
acompañado con la cerveza japonesa Tsingtao. Para que no haya dudas, te cuento más
en detalle a continuación.

Malasyan Satai: elegido a modo de entrante, se trata de brochetas de pollo marinadas

en jengibre, cúrcuma y salsa picante, y acompañadas de una salsa de soja dulce y
cacahuete. De los tres platos que probamos, a mi particularmente fue el que más me
gustó, destacando la salsa de soja dulce, que en ciertos momentos me recordaba a un
sabor a chocolate suave.

Phad Thai: típico plato de noodles de arroz con pollo o langostinos, brotes de soja, cebollino,
tofu y cacahuete. Los tallarines destacaban por encontrarse perfectamente en su punto, pero
lo que más destaco de este plato es el toque a lima que te deja en la boca en cada bocado.

Udang Goreng Lada Hitam: se trata de un plato de arroz con langostinos tigre
salteados con cebolla, puerro, ajo, jengibre y salsa de pimienta. Lo que más
destacaba del plato, además de ser muy muy picante, era el sabor intenso y fresco tanto
de los langostinos como de la verdura. Una verdadera delicia.

Además de la carta, tienen menú del día, consistente en un entrante, plato principal,
bebida y postre por 10,50€. Así mismo, en la carta tienen una sección de Té, en la que
puedes combinar como base Té de Jazmín con pequeñas perlas rellenas de zumo
(Popping Boba) o Siropes de Té con sabores como Manzana, Fruta de la Pasión, Fresa,
Moras y Limón.

Nuestra experiencia en Tuk Tuk Madrid

En general la experiencia en el Restaurante Tuk Tuk fue excelente. Como único
inconveniente, el local es algo pequeño y a veces es difícil encontrar sitio, algo que se
puede solucionar mediante una reserva como he mencionado con anterioridad.

La calidad de la comida es buenísima, con unas cantidades bastante abundantes en mi

opinión. El precio total contando con entrante para dos, plato principal y bebida es
aproximadamente de unos 10-15 euros por persona. Creo que tanto por la comida
como por la zona en la que se ubica, la relación calidad-precio es casi insuperable.

Por último, queremos agradecer el trato exquisito del personal que nos atendió el día
que los visitamos. Siempre simpáticos y atentos en todo momento, disponibles ante
cualquier duda o recomendación de la carta.

el concepto de street food que te aseguro que te encantará.

The Open House Polo Restaurant

(Name/location)
The ‘Open House’ is a restaurant situated in the
heart of a small village between three national
forests and close to the horse´s capital city, Chantilly.
It is the favourite hangout place for people from the
polo, horse races, and golf world.
(Atmosphere/decor)
As you enter the place you are welcomed by a
magnificent setting, a delightful marriage of antique
cut stones and the luxuries of modernity. Sitting in
any table you have a wonderful view of the
workshop-like kitchen where you can see the chefs
working. For those who do not book a table and are
waiting, there is a cosy lounge with aged leather
armchairs and pictures of polo players displayed on
the walls.
(The menu/dishes)
The menu offers a wide variety of mouth-watering
starters. I had the white asparagus accompanied by
a mousseline sauce and poached eggs, while my
friend tried the zucchini carpaccio served with
sundries tomatoes and a mozzarella strudel. They
were exquisite. The main course consisted of a
risotto with scallop cooked in cream and a cassolette
of coley with mussels, which really thrilled us. It all
was followed by a delicious apple pie served with a
scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
(The ingredients/the wine/the prices)
All the products were fresh and the dishes had the
warmth of home-made food. The chefs take great
care in selecting the best quality ingredients. The
restaurant also caters for all tastes by providing a
large selection of the best wines of the region, which
are pricy but worth sampling.
(The service/the waiters/the owner)
What a pity that the service does not accompany the
high quality of the cooking. You can hardly get a
smile out of the waitresses. Thankfully the owner and
hostess, a middle-aged charming woman, is always
around willing to exchange some kind words with all
her clients.
(Recommendation)
Despite the high price of the food and the not so
attentive waiters´ service, I had a pleasant dining
experience with food of the most exquisite flavours.
For this reason I highly recommend going to the
Open House Polo restaurant.

he titanic

The film Titanic is a romance starring Leonardo Dicaprio as Jack Dawson, Kate Dindel
as Rose De Witt anda Billy Zane as Cal Hackley. It is about fictional romantic tale of a
rich girl and poor boy who meet on the ill-fated voyage of the 'unsinkable' ship.

The film takes place between Iceland and New York, and occurred in April 14, 1912.

An old lady who claims to be a survivor of the Titanic tells her story to an eager group
of treasure hunters, who are in search of a rare diamond in the Titanic's wreckage.
Her name is Rose and she was a passenger on the Titanic along with the star, Jack.The
two meet and Rose, unhappy with her arranged marriage Jack, a young artist, who
struggles to get through with life spends time with her and the two fall in love. Then the
ship hits an iceberg and Jack is framed for theft and chained up in the lower levels of the
ship. Finally the ship sinks on April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning, Jack dies and
Rose survives

In my opinion, this movie is one of the best movies because is not just an ordinary tale
of Romance. It is more than that. It is full of adventure. The best of the film is when
they make love, and the worst is when Jake dies. I recommended you to see it because is
a beautiful and romantic film.

A restaurant review
(Sent by Alejandro Rubio Luque, a student from Málaga, Spain)

One of my favourite restaurants is El Refectorium. It is located just behind the popular

Malaga bullring, in the zone called La Malagueta. It's the best traditional Mediterranean
cuisine restaurant in my town.
This establishment is quite small so reservations are recommended on weekends and at
bullfights. The old-fashioned furniture makes the atmosphere very cosy. The waiters
always seem to be in high spirits and they are really kind to the customers.

As you come into the restaurant, you see the tables and a bar where you can have some
"tapas", like anchovies in vinegar as well as the well-known Salad Olivier (or more
commonly, and incorrectly, called with the term Russian salad in other countries).

In my opinion, every dish you order will be tasty. One thing you shouldn't leave without
trying is "gazpachuelo", a soup with potatoes, fish and seafood. You can also enjoy
eating fresh fish. As for the desserts, the one I like most is the "profiteroles", a
chocolate-flavoured cake with cream; it's particularly delicious.

Even though it's rather an expensive restaurant, I recommend it because of the high
quality of all their products. I have no doubt that you will be satisfied.

My favorite website is Facebook (1)

Facebook is a very popular social networking service which has millions of users all
over the world. (2)
To access this website you must first register. Once you are in you may create a profile,
add friends, upload photos or videos, play online games, write about what you're doing,
and many more things. (3)
There are three reasons why I would recommend Facebook. The first reason is that you
can be in contact with friends that you would otherwise seldom see. If they are
connected you can communicate real time.(4)

The second reason is because you can share things with friends and family. I personally
love to share photos, opinions about places I have visited, or films I have seen. More
sharing means more engagement with people and groups of interest. I've had some
interesting online discussions.(5) And, the last reason is that it helps you to write the
story of your life.(6)
So if you haven't joined it yet, I would highly recommend you to do so, especially if you
like to be in touch with your friends and like sharing things like I do. (7)
