First off, if there are U.S. citizens reading this, please send me a PM. I just want to see how many of us are around the Santiago area.
Second, we have been eating out more frequently, mainly because of the weird hours my wife works. and we have found a couple of places worthy of recommendation.
There is now a craze in Santiago for Food Trucks. An obvious influence from the States. But that said, there are several that are pretty interesting. For us, there is a new one called "Blue House" and it is on Rafael Vidal, almost directly across the street from the Lumijor Bakery. Opens at 6:00 and has three options (yes, it is smaller than others and a bit more chic): Venezuelan, Mexican and our favorite, "Sión Madrina" which features some interesting hamburgers. They are filled with bacon, ripe plantains, and other options...really mouth-watering. There is a place that has beer and liquors also.
Another place is a small Chinese place, not a "pica pollo" but not a restaurant either. It is called "Pony" Pollo and it is on 27 Febrero, just past Centro León on your right side, and on a corner. The menu is NOT extensive. Of course they have fried chicken, and chicken strips and baked chicken, together with fries and fried plantains, eggplant, chop suey, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken (not pork), sauteed pork and a couple of other things we have not tried, together with different salads. Prices are very low but the food is good! I hope someone tries it and reports back here.
Thirdly, I will be posting in the Real Estate Section of DR1.com some apartments, new, that I would like to get sold. Five are in the city (near the Central Bank) and 2 are in a more rural setting.
And lastly, my neighbor has just had a litter of 9 German Shepard (95% pure) puppies. They are adorable! He wants RD3,000 for them, vaccinated and de-wormed. I will see if I can post some pictures.
That is it for me for now. Have a good day, all y'alls.
