Burgos - Madrid

MADRID

Took metro to Nunez de Balboa and transfer to Avenida de America. I had booked ALSA bus 120 days in advance for 20.41eur (Normal class and return in Supra Class). The bus stop in the city centre and just 5-7 mins walk to Cathedral. Burgos is a big town and travelling distance is longer than other day trips, will give this a miss and explore others in future.
Journey: 2h45mins

DONDE ALBERTO
Total for 3 Pincho and 1 red wine: 6.20eur.

JAMON WITH MUSTARD (1.80eur)
This is not bad, this bar is very popular with locals and is packed around 1330hr.
 PINCHO (1.50eur)
 RED WINE (1.40eur)
 
 DEEP FRIED WRAPPED SHRIMPS PINCHO (1.50eur)

PLAZA MAYOR
One of the alley in Plaza Mayor, you can find Calle San Lorenzo, where you can find some good bars and restaurants.
LA LORENCITA

TURRON DE FOIE CON YOGURT Y MARACUYA (2.50eur)
The 1st prize tapas in 2015.
Mixture of Nougat, liver, passion fruit and yogurt. 
They have other 1st prize in other year but the tapas here is more towards science than food imo. 
The taste is nice but lack of texture, quite an unique combination but not to everyone liking.

LA QUINTA DEL MONJE
This is one of the popular bar here, I prefer here than previous.
They served real food:)
SOLOMILLO BRASEADO CON FOIE (3eur)
Sirloin steak with Foie Gras 
Nicely done steak but not really a fan of sirloin.
TATAKI DE ATUN ROJO SOJA Y MARACUYA (3eur)
Bluefin Tuna with Soya, Passion fruit sauce.
FOIE FRESCO A LA PLANCHA SOBRE CONFITURA DE MANGO (2.60eur)
Grilled Foie Gras with Mango Jam
This is good!

ALE-HOP
This is a very popular shop, I almost see it in every town including Portugal.

MADRID

KUNGFU NOODLE
It seems Chinese food is very popular here. They had very good reviews and I don't find it anywhere near average in our standard back home. They used stock powder to prepare soup so basically taste very artificial.

SIEW MAI (6eur)
BEEF NOODLE (7.50eur)
