Moccachino etc. with whipped cream by Second Cup

Second Cup is a cafe where is located in Canada, especially in Quebec.
Second Cup is similar to Starbucks or A.L.Van Houtte.
We can get free whipped cream on cafe or chocolate in Second Cup.
The staff in Second Cup will ask if you want to have whipped cream or not.
Moccachino or Chocolate with whipped cream make us warm and relaxed
in such cold weather in Quebec.

Onion soup

Onion soup that we ate in Quebec city is unforgettable taste !
When we were extremely cold under the snow and we drank that onion soup,
our body were so relieved and melted. We got energy back.
Onion soup was just too good.
It looks they put a pastry on the cup of onion soup and cooked it in oven.
When we break the pastry, we can find melted cheese in the tasty onion soup.


<Brazil>

Coxinha

Coxinha is Brazilian croquette.
Coxinha is a wonderful snack to eat when we are a bit hungry.
The croquette that Tomo&Chouchou ate had taste of Tuna and it was good !

Feijoada

Fejioada is a stew made with black beans and pork.
When we see Fejioada, it looks a bit grotesque.
But once we eat one spoon of Fejioada, we feel we wants to eat it more or again.
Surprisingly, Fejioada makes a good match with rice.

English tea and scone with clotted cream

Talking of England, everybody imagine English tea, right?
We don't know if it's because of water, anyway English tea in England is excellent !
When people order the tea, they also order scones. It seems that it's a tradition.
We ordered tea and scones when we travelled around Cotswolds.
Scones were served with the clotted cream and the jam.
It was the best clotted cream that we have eaten so far !
We tasted clotted cream in London but it was not same.
We can assure that it's the best to eat scones with real clotted cream !

Lamb soup 

We thought the lamb soup has the smell of lamb but surprisingly we didn't smell any.

It was very tasty.

reindeer soup

Many people might hesitate to eat reindeer, but surprisingly raindeer soup was tasty.

We didn't taste original animal smell.
We had better eat something that local people eat.
It makes our body warm in the cold weather.

Fish cakes

Fish cake looks like a donut made with fish.

It was easy to eat and we didn't feel fish so much.
