The locals said that Bar Mut is one of the best tapas bar in town and I say that it is the best tapas bar ever! Having no printed menu, the choices of dishes varies every day which makes Bar Mut really special. My favorite dish of the night was the Pulpo Brasa (Grilled Octopus). My stomache is already longing for the delicious taste from just talking about it. I'm already pampered with such good food on my first night in Barcelona. I wonder what other delectable delights await for my taste buds tomorrow and the day after that. Whatever it is, I am sure that it will be amazing! Looking forward to the next culinary exploration.

Pablo Picasso (1967)

I had brunch at the Sothebys auction house in New Bond Street and was very lucky to have been able to see a preview for the collection of their Contemporary Art Evening pieces, which will be exhibited later on this month. I wish I had taken my G12 camera out with me but I suppose mobile photography proves to be better than I thought.

 Warm Blini with Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche

 Summer Pudding with Clotted Cream

 Abstraktes Bild (1991)- Gerhard Richter

 Jean-Michel Basquiat's Untitled and Harlem Paper Side by Side

 Untitled (1981)

This engaging and combative warrior-figure painting is such an amazing Basquiat piece! An interesting artist who addresses concerns of race, identity and mortality through art. He started off as a graffiti artist in the late 1970's in New York City.

 Muletero (1990)  

Corrida or bullfight, recognised to be Miquel Barceló's most important series. He shows the mysticism and importance surrounding the spectacle of man battling with nature. Powerful and dramatic. These photos does not do the painting justice!

Jump in the Rabbit Hole and transport yourself to dine in Wonderland! In other words, purchase a ticket to Japan. The whimsical minds of Fantastic Design Works Co., have brought this Alice in Wonderland restaurant to Tokyo. The 2,000 sq. ft. restaurant is divided into themed sections that reproduce certain scenes from the 1951 animated movie. "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"- Alice.
