'food is about making an interaction wth the ingredients. If you talk to them, they will always tell you a story ...' - Jose Antonio
Our friend John Bunag won the golden date with celebrity Vince Velasco and with this privilege can bring two friends with him
Lucky enough to join John Bunag with Alex Alcantara and enjoy Spanish Tapas and wine while getting to know Vince Velasco
It was my first time in this branch and like the other Barcino restaurants Ive been to , it was a study in bright yellow colors matched with dark wood
FOOD
We enjoyed the following:
CHORIZO AND CHEESE PLATTER P1700
What's not to love about a plate of chorizo , cheese, grapes and crostini? Perhaps its price? To be fair it can be shared by 2-4 people. It was really delicious though but pricey
Paella Negra P600
A perennial favorite of the family, I am so happy somebody ordered this for our carbs. The flavors and textures of squid ink paella never grows old. I just love getting to the bottom of the pan and scooping out the soccarat or "tutong" (but not burnt though) in local parlance.
GAMBAS AL AJILLO P790
Quite expensive. But prawns were huge and succulent and tasted amazing. I can not complain. You get what you pay for
CHIPIRONES ENCEBOLLADOS P530
This dish of grilled baby squid with caramelized onions topped with potato shoestring in white wine sauce is a must try. Im really curious how they make it possible to grill the squid just right so that it is still soft, tender and succulent when served.
TEJAS DE COCO Y ALMENDRAS P290
Think Lengua de Gato made of coconut and almond crisps drizzled with blueberry jam. It is less sweeter and thicker in texture than the much-loved lengua and the blueberry gave it an interesting twist.
TARTA DE MANZANA ALA MODE P320
Think Apple Tart but thinner and rectangular in shape. Loved the puff pastry underneath and how it combined with the tartness of the thin slices of apples. Perfect with ice cream!
Overall...
