Paul, Wushu’s talented dessert chef, even made me a special cake and we spent an amazing four hours at the restaurant, enjoying the company, the many bottles of cava, and, of course, Brad’s amazing food.

I had my favourite dish – the red curry with roasted duck (on the left) and next time I’ll try the laksa (on the right):

There are more pictures on my flickr site. It was a very busy weekend, which included dinner at Wushu on friday night with other friends, shopping in Gracia on saturday morning for a lunch on sunday that Jackie and I were organizing, then dinner at Wushu again on saturday night and finally a big lunch on sunday, when I cooked a not-so-traditional Brazilian feijoada for friends. Tomorrow we catch the high speed train to Segovia. It’s probable that I won’t be accessing internet there so stay tuned for a report on the trip to Segovia some time next weekend!

I fell in love with Thai curries during my weekly visits toWushu, while in Barcelona. I want to learn more about the wonderful world of Thai cuisine so I’m now reading The Big Book of Thai Curries and drooling… Can’t wait to try some of the recipes!

So far, I’ve tried red curry (my favourite) in three different spots here in Toronto. None rival Wushu so far…
