Not quite warm enough to dine sans layers. But a nice evening in Bari. Check that octopus!

We have included pics of trabocchi before, but with summer coming to an end, we decided we should get a meal slotted in before the restaurants finish for the season. Five courses, and some. Six cold appetisers. Four warm appetisers. A pasta course. Three mains, and three desserts. Wine, coffee and digestivo. All seafood (apart from dessert, naturally).

We ate a lot of seafood on this trip.

Seafood platter to celebrate Jo's birthday.

Mala Hot Pot. Cash only. All you can eat. Top ingredients just flowed. Seafood including scallops, 2 types of squid, oysters, clams, 2 types of prawns, mussels. High quality thin slices of amazing meats including lamb, beef, bacon, pork. We added a bit of balance with mushrooms (6 types), corn, pumpkin, and a couple of other vegetables. We had a few dumplings and meat balls. We didn't have to resort to anything unidentifiable or anything offal. There was a table of dipping ingredients, and I made my own special mix which I was very proud of. Spring onions, chillies, garlic, Chinese soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground peanuts. We skipped the soup and curry, but had a few different cakes for dessert, and multiple scoops from the free flowing Häagen-Dazs. I lost track of the number of glasses of red I drank, so lucky we didn't have to go far. The best thing about this place - it's in the basement of the building where our hotel is. Jo made me walk back up to the 7th floor.

New Years Eve at the Seahouse. Complete with "mojito mocktail" - incredibly, it tasted authentic.
