a kitchen that's bound to grow bigger

Tiny Kitchen, if memory serves me right, started out by selling their bread in supermarkets.  the nice packaging made me get one loaf and try it.  the next thing i remember is that they began selling bottled tuyo and other delicacies and not long after, they had their own tiny store in Mabini St.

they sell all kinds of baked goodies as well as frozen ones you could re-heat in the home oven.  i used to tell the lady behind the counter to put tables so they can serve dine-in customers.  and about a year after that, they did open up a new and bigger shop.  slowly the menu board started to fill-up with yummy sounding items.  i finally found the time to sit down and eat there today.  they had a new pasta item on the menu, but the name escapes me now, dang!

it was Penne something, something that was definitely spanish.  i loved it.  it was obvious that they used great ingredients as it tasted nothing like those canned sauces we usually get in restaurants serving pasta [ you know, even the imported ones taste like the can they came in]

the sauce of this dish is rich but not cloying.  you could taste the spanish chorizo it was infused with, and the mussels were soft and tender with no fishy smell at all.  i usually don't like mopping up left-over sauce with bread but this time i did.  i wiped the dish clean. Yum!

p.s. the pasta dish is named Penne Catalonia.  and i was right, it is spanish.
