Hola friends!
My first official meal in Palma (and Spain for that matter) ended up being Thai. This wouldn't be the first time that my first meal in a foreign country would not mimic the local delicacy (that goes to Taco Bell in Seoul), but overall, I think I was more excited for the Mexican in Asia.
Thai food is hard to mess up, and I felt it was the 2€ wine I ended up buying that made the meal better. However, I will admit that the food did fill me up and got me ready and excited for a night out in the town.
Horapa attracts a lot of expats, as evidenced by the English speaking patrons inside. When my friends and I showed up, we were told to order take out as they had no more space inside (even though there were empty tables). I ordered the Malay Chicken Curry with rice, which ended up being very coconut curry-esque and bland, had it not been for the sriracha that I would end up pouring on it.
The wait staff lady was also pretty rude to us while we were trying to order, so perhaps it was a good thing that we ended up just taking it back home to eat. I can see Horapa being a good backup for those expats wanting Asian food in Palma, but if you know of another Southeast Asian restaurant on the island, I'd recommend going there first. read more
