ROM + Salvadorean

On the second last day of the Italian + Design show at the ROM, Timo and I went just in time to avoid the lineup. It was just perfect timing that we avoided the line that extended to Bloor St from the temporary entrance on University!!!

Since we managed to save an hour by not being in the end of the line (we'd still waited for 45 minutes to get in), we spent a good amount of time checking out Italian designs from the 20th century. Most prominent from the collection were the house electronics and furniture! I'd say some look more contemporary than what is being manufactured today!

After a good walk through all the exhibits, we walked along Bloor St west, past the Annex into K-town. Instead of Korean food, we opted for Mexican/Salvadorean at Tacos el Asador. The price was fantastic! Timo and I ate so much!!! We absolutely splurged on the occasion. We tried most of the items on menu, namely the Tacos, Burritos, Tamales (wrapped in banana leaf, kinda like dimsum sticky rice)... and of course, iced-cold beer!
