Roasted chicken

Summary: Expertly cooked so the breast meat is still tender, and the meat bursting with flavor, this is hands down the best chicken I've ever had. The aji sauce is spicy for gringos, but I recommend eating the chicken without it anyway. The chicken is that good.

Bouchon is better. :)

Cachapas - Zaguan Bakery and Cafe

Summary: I'd never heard of cachapas, a Venezuelan dish, before my trip to Zaguan. However, I haven't been able to stop thinking about them since. They're almost like quesadillas... but instead of a flour tortilla, the shell of the cachapa is made out of something totally different. It tastes like semi-sweet cream corn, and has a soft, spongy texture, almost like a pancake. Yes, the cachapa is a texture food for me, but the other winner here is also the cheese. Soft, and not too salty, just the way I like cheese. I believe my favorite thing here was the Renia Pepia Cachapa (a corn pancake stuffed with chicken, avocado and cheese). I have a huge sweet tooth and was really excited about all the bakery goodies this place had to offer as well, but I have to say that nothing stood out, and it was all a little too sweet. Sad.
