Have you ever tried Venezuelan food? I walked up the plateau with some friends yesterday looking for this cute little eatery. Spring was finally here and it was a beautiful day out. By the time we arrived, we were ready to eat. A perfect way to kick start our metabolism and make space for something delicious. This was my first time to try something Venezuelan and I was pretty excited. The ambiance was lovely, the perfect place to visit to kick off Spring. The decorations were coluorful with little Venezuelan house models up on the wall. A large painting covered one wall that made every colour pop. I would say it was a painting that evoked happiness and celebration. The music was lively and up-beat, I felt like breaking into a dance any moment. I probably would have if my friends were there. They would have been embarassed if I actually did. Haha
What they mainly served was Arepa which was a type of corn bread that is stuffed with various goodies. As usual, I was having difficulty deciding so I asked the waitress to help me decide between number 1 and number 5. She recommended number 1, so that was what I had, Pabellon. It was an Arepa with black beans, "carne mechada" (something similar to pulled pork), planatins and cheese. On the side, there is a creamy avocado sauce and spicy sauce. Both were delicious. You can dress up your arepa whichever way you like, creamy or spicy. There is also a small herby salad topped with cassava chips on the top. Everything came up to less than $10 and it was satisfying. I was glad to have found this secret gem on the plateau. A great way to sum up my weekend before Monday!
