Dalboka si dezamagirea din farfurie

RO:

Sambata trecuta am ajuns, pentru a treia oara, la ferma de midii de la Dalboka. Mai fusesem in 2010, cand mi-a placut mult si in 2014, in preajma lui 1 mai, cand a fost dezastruos, insa am pus-o in seama aglomeratiei si am promis ca voi reveni intr-o perioada mai aerisita. Am revenit si, ce sa vezi, lucrurile stau la fel de prost, drept pentru care pentru mine a fost, cu siguranta, ultima data cand mai calc pe acolo.

Sa incepem cu inceputul: locatia a ramas la fel de neprietenoasa: se coboara, respectiv urca, pe o panta extrem de inclinata, pana jos la mare. Zona este frumoasa, merita efortul, iar mesele lungi, cu bancute din lemn, sunt o idee inspirata si pitoreasca.

 

 

La prima vizita imi placuse mult supa de midii, a carei zeama era similara celei de la ciorba nostra radauteana, cu adaos de midii, bineinteles. Am comandat-o si acum si surpriza: era o supa-crema de ciuperci semipreparata, cu gust puternic de „supa de la plic” si midiile aferente. 

Am continuat cu „midii Dalboka in Mariners”, despre care ni s-a spus ca ar fi picante, insa erau doar uleioase, practic balteau intr-o zeama al carei principal ingredient era uleiul. Mi s-au parut si putine, imi amintesc ca am comandat midii in cochilie si in 2010 si portia a fost dubla. 

„Cireasa” de pe tort, au fost, insa, crevetii, despre care ospatarita nu ne-a spus ca ar fi microscopici, lasandu-ne sa comandam portie dubla. Am primit un fel de viermisori, cu mustatile mai lungi decat corpul, din care efectiv nu aveai ce manca. Noroc cu feliile mari de paine. Un alt minus este ca painea, lamaia si sosul de usturoi nu sunt incluse in pretul portiilor, ci se platesc separat si trebuie comandate anume.

            Last Saturday I went to the Dalboka mussel farm for the third time. I had been there before in 2010, when I thought it was great and in 2014, when it was a disaster, but it was a very busy period, being a holiday and all, so I tought I would give it another chance and come back when it would be less packed. So I did, but things haven’t changed a bit since my previous visit, therefore I shall definitely never return.

            Let’s start from the beginning: you have to go down, then climb a long slope, all the way to the sea. The area is beautiful and worth the effort and the long tables with bensches, an inspired and picturesque idea. The food was awful, though, starting with the mussels soup, an instant mushroom soup with musseld in it, to be continued with the Dalboka Mariners mussels, a small serving, with a lot of oil in it and last, but not least, the shrimps, way too small to be eaten, which we were not warned about in advance, so we wasted our money on a double serving. Another minus is having to pay separately for bread, lemon and garlic sauce.
