Pujol

Almost 3 years ago, I saw a post of my favorite blogger the ulterior epicure about this restaurant, no word can be more appropriate than prefect, the dishes are beautiful and creative, this restaurant is definitely a reason to make me be in Mexico

Blue corn tostadita with tuna fish, mixe chile, and radish 

Baby corn with chicatana ant, coffee, and costeño chile 

Mole madre, mole nuevo

The waitress can barely speaks English, but she try to speak French. From what I understood, the mole on top the tortilla is close to 300 days in conserve,  like a mother dough. Totally a new exprience for a stranger like me.

Brioche, cheese, tomatillo-mint marmalade, fruits

I am very disappointed about this experience,because this restaurant is highly rated on the web sites, moreover, Pujol win the sixteenth place of the world's 50 best restaurant 2013, twentieth for this year. When you expect more, you get less after all.

Mexico journey-Chichén Itzá

After 3 days stayed in Mexico city ans 1 days for the rest at our hotel in Cancun, we headed to Chichén Itzá at 7 in the morning. neither of us may drive, so we have to go with tour, and of course, I hate the tour!

After 3 hours in the bus, here we are in Chichén Itzá, it is totally different from what was in my mind, I thought that should be a rural place and hardly can see a person, finally it turn I was totally wrong. Actually it is a encircle park, The number of people over there makes me feel a little bite back to China. In our way headed to the center, I was more attractive by the handmade souvenir at sidewalk.

We reached the center a few minutes later. I was very impressed by the pyramids even I never have any interest for the history or archaeology, impressed by how Mayas built the giant thing long long time ago and use a punch of trick, as the equinox.

The whole gang moved to Valladolid for a very traditional lunch, meanwhile I took a nap. After all I am not used to get up early, especially 7 in the morning. 

 The beautiful fountain next to our restaurant.

 After the lunch, I was extremely exhausted, honesty I can barely move. But when I arrived Il Cenote, I was speakless, even though I saw this place a thousand time from the photos, it's amazing to see this with my own eyes. Two little Indians girls imitated my move and play model in the photo, I saw two bloggers in the future. 

    

Mexico city journey-day 3

Time go fast at Mexico, it's already my last day here. We decided spend the morning at Zocalo and the whole Centro historico. But the thing did not going well, however I ate the best tacos in the planet.

The church is huge, above all, beautiful, with all the incredible delicacy carving, I was impressed, but neither of us a religion fan, so we just did a tour outside.

 This s very tourism spot, so you can find all the american chain store as you want, including McDonald or H&M.

This place is not attractive for me as St-Angel, so we just did a fast tour and headed to Condesa. I hear most of wealthy people were living here in this area once before an earthquake ruined everything, that is why they moved to Polanco and live until today, please tell me if is true. However this a very beautiful ,charming place.

Mexico city journey-day 1,2

Before I start this post, I really want to share my happiness with you guys, I have been waiting this trip so long, the idea to go to the Mexico came out 2012's summer, I talk every day I much I want to make it for real, but unfortunately, I all the summer in Montreal.

 I arrived at Mexico city around 4, after put down my luggage, it was already dark outside, so we just took a stroll around the hotel. Zona Rosa, a beautiful area, quite lively in the night time. We had the dinner in a kind of tourist restaurant, but still, it is nice to have a pina colada in the breeze, actually very nice!

 Second day, We visited the Angel de la independencia for first, because it is just next of our hotel. How lucky we are for getting a sunny day!

This place takes us at 10 minutes to figure out how to get there because the cars passed around whom do not stop.

Beautiful Mexican style architecture!

We arrived at Polanco from Zona Rosa, by walk, with heel, challenge accomplished! So much pain, but much more fun. There have a park, but most of park and museum are closed the monday.

Polanco is bit different than other place in Mexico, more wealthy. All the luxury stores are located here, the bistros are adorable.

Afternon I insisted to take a look at local market, for expericing the life they live in.

Besides metro and bus, Mexico have a other public transport called metrobus, a path in the middle of the road is reserve espacially for them.

 

Here we came at marcato Madeline

We have a restaurant reservation at St- Angel at evenning, so we decided come early to kown better this area.

I was quite surprise by the view, very beautiful, but with a touch of Eurpe, many handicrafy shop instelled along the street. Each shop have thier own character, it is nice place to buy the gift.

A great number of churchs are located here, most of them are huge and gorgeous. Unfortunnaly, I am a girl carry no fate.
