Angela's Selection
Meat on a stick: And now for the rest of the story... Pampa is three weeks old and because of Angela's recent trip to Brazil, it was an obvious choice. The restaurant was very open - almost food court style in its layout. At the centre of the space there was a buffet so we didn't need to order appetizers this time around. There was quite an assortment of nutritious foods available. Some stand outs included quinoa, pineapple powdered with cinnamon, mango, and a refreshing apple salad. Bree, however, wasn't the biggest buffet fan. Our waiter, Chris, had an interesting sense of humour. When Dave asked him why all of the meat masters (the servers who bring around meat skewers for sampling) were men, he said it was because women skewer around too much. We told him that he was funny and he said, "I know. I have a Brazilian of them." Ha ha ha. It turns out there are nine varieties of meat on a stick. Our two favourites were the spicy sausage and the garlic encrusted sirloin. We should also mention that on every table each person has a small cardboard circle with green on one side and red on the other. Green means meat please! while red means no more (at least for now). From time to time special treats were brought randomly by the table. Dave went gaga for the cinnamon coated bananas and asked for another one. Chris was kind enough to hook a brother up. It didn't take long to feel full so we ordered desserts while we still could. Bree ordered a coconut custard that she wasn't happy with so the owner of the restaurant came over to suggest an alternative on the house. We were very impressed with the service. Hopefully the next Dinner Club pick will also allow Angela to speak the native tongue of the waiters... Obrigado Pampa!
