boCHINche at home

First time ordering from boCHINche. Not that we're regulars. Ohhh no. Not at all.

This was their ajo blanco, a sort of "white gazpacho" made with almonds. There's some grapes and sliced apples in there too. Texture was mealy/chalky and flavour was a little tart. Didn't dislike it but I don't think I'm a fan. What disappointed me about the soup was the smoked almonds it came with. Didn't taste smoky and those almonds were just beginning to turn rancid. #disappointed

We ordered one sweet corn empanada to try because we hadn't any idea if it would be good and I remember being not too impressed with the last empanada we had from them. This was good. Creamy fillings that wasn't excessively so with the flavour and sweetness from the kernels of corn. I wouldn't mind getting these again. 

Their osso buco pappardelle was nice. Rich and savoury wine flavour bolstered by meatiness which coated the noodles. But wait. Those candied walnuts that were supposed to come along - why even bother when there's not enough of them to register flavour in this already rich tasting pasta? Couldn't even get any texture since they were so crushed up and the amount was a pittance.

I was hoping that those walnuts would have added a little something different. #disappointed
