Hello, everyone I am Chifumi Maeda, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a Japanese female president living in Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, guys, for visiting this <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrue comments from Japanese female presidents living in Thailand\u201d blog<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I would today like to talk to you about <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTERRA – Contemporary Spanish Cuisine\u201d<\/span> that was opened in April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to visit them from the minute they started their business however, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

as the restaurant is a bit far from my office (Sukhumvit 42 Rd.) as well as from our flat, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t find a chance to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

But suddenly, my lunch time one day had no schedule; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I quickly made reservation and headed to the restaurant.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Story Behind TERRA: Tracing its Roots in Spanish Cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TERRA – Contemporary Spanish Cuisine, as I\u2019ve mentioned in above, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

has just opened its business in April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is located on the 2nd<\/sup> floor of The Old England Students Association Under Royal Patronage building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Terra means soil or land in Catalan language, Catalonia, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its name reminds us of fertile land and sunny climate of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chef Sandro Agullera came from El Bulli, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

where that is most difficult in the world to make a reservation who carries 3 Michelin Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

El Bulli unfortunately closed its business in 2011 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

but many chefs who had been trained there are now all over the world cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chef Sandro Agullera is showing off his skill in UNO MAS in the CentralWorld, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

opened the TERRA with his passion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Detailed Review of TERRA: Savouring Spanish Cuisine in Bangkok<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Exploring TERRA’s Ambience: The Restaurant Atmosphere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant is located of The Old England Students Association Under Royal Patronage building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As all of the restaurants who were there in the building went out from there <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and it was only the TERRA that is running business there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that there will soon be bakeries and Japanese restaurants are scheduled to come in to the building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I was a bit worried as the restaurant floor seems to be deserted but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>

ahhhhh\u2026. there you are!<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

As I came there on my own on the day, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to have my lunch on the table in front of the kitchen <\/p>\n\n\n\n

watching Chef Sandro Agullera in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"TERRA<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I like to sit at the counter table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Watching the way chef prepare his order <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the dishes that are being created with chef\u2019s magic hand, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

you need to be sitting at the counter table to see all of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And my dish is here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buen provecho (Bon app\u00e9tit)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Foodie’s Delight: Analyzing the Menu at TERRA, Bangkok<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As I was there in lunch time, there were<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 dishes course lunch menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starter, main, and dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dinners are also served in course with 8 dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 glasses of wine pairing is also available with the dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Menu changes every now and then, about every 2 \u2013 3 weeks so I was told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The day I was there for my lunch, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

there were 4 different appetizers I could choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"TERRA<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I had Payes bread and Charcoal garlic paraline at the beginning of my course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Payes bread and Charcoal garlic paraline are prepared by Chef Sandro Agullera himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"TERRA
Left: Payes bread, Right: Charcoal garlic paraline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Payes bread takes 1 day to prepare, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and Charcoal garlic paraline takes 5 days to prepare, so I was told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The recommended way of enjoying them is to have Charcoal garlic paraline first <\/p>\n\n\n\n

followed by Payes bread and then continue enjoying them with olive oil and salt.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"TERRA
olive oil and salt from Spain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Payes bread baked under charcoal fire in front of your eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very crispy or nutty smell and once you take a bite, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the smell and sweet taste of wheat, and the crispy smell of charcoal runs through your nasals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly I\u2019ve realized that I need to control my desire to keep on going, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put Charcoal garlic paraline on the bread and carried on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Charcoal garlic paraline slowly entwines in the mouth stimulating my appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it is only in TERRA that you can experience the taste of Charcoal garlic paraline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I suddenly found myself having finished the Payes bread, I\u2019ve asked for another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have it with olive oil and salt, salt gives sweet tastes. This is a different way of enjoying food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may sound a bit strange but it is quite refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My dishes are being prepared in front of me and my heart is pumping fast with expectation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
