再次來到Papagayo，為的不是精彩興奮的Happy Hour而是更為抵食，更為愉快的Brunch Time。供應Brunch的酒吧其實不多，在日間就將其分類轉為西班牙餐廳吧。上回提及這兒的西班牙菜就當是酒吧食物罷了，未知這次的Brunch又可否來個逆轉呢？

　　還是那麼彩色繽紛的裝潢，日間的燈光加上日光充足，不是一般酒吧暗淡沉實的樣子。正值聖誕一期去到，果然也是擋不住的節日佈置。最有趣的莫過於是聖誕老人游繩的裝飾，讓店子頓時充滿歡樂氣氛。加上Brunch Menu其實就是A La Carte Menu的七折價，又怎會說不開心？

Baked Spicy Field Snail with Herb & Garlic Butter

Baked Spicy Field Snail with Herb & Garlic Butter　$78
　　以一客六件的法式焗蝸牛作為開場第一擊，一來就要面對如此滋味誘惑，霎時醒一醒。當然不會直線出擊，先吃吃澆上了黑醋醬的酸甜沙律菜開開胃。將富有彈性的蝸牛肉輕輕一拮，然後扭扭扭，輕易完好的挑出。爽彈煙韌的蝸牛肉頗有咬口，易嚼又不腥，當然得感謝那微微的蒜味、辣意及香草香。薯蓉意外地對胃口，不會水稀如醬汁，也未至於筋性過重。既為實身同時細滑密緻，留餘粉感，奶香足而不算膩口。

Baked Egg Cake in Spanish Style

Baked Egg Cake in Spanish Style　$68
　　提起西班牙Tapas，除了Albondigas及Croquette，就是Tortilla了。Tortilla，如果在墨西哥點的話，上桌的可能就是夾餅了吧？或是在法國點個Quiche……語言的微妙，在香港還是一樣，說蛋餅的話會不會想到台灣那種呢？怎樣也好，現在要說的就是Tortilla，這兒以薯仔及辣香腸作餡料的蛋餅。片片薄身相疊的薯仔片未有稔爛出水，香稔軟身，不失薯仔本味清香。而辣肉腸切粒焗後還能保持那點點鹹辣香氣，惹味之餘不會肥膩過頭。蛋餅部分本就熟身，幸好不會老過頭，中心沒有大大氣泡，食感不粗糙。

U.S. Kurubuta Pork Chop

U.S. Kurubuta Pork Chop　$258
　　直落我們的肉感主菜，烤得金黃有致不過焦的美國極黑豬扒登場。厚厚實實的帶骨豬扒叫人怎忍心切下去？左望望右望望，還是得拜託友人出手。看他可以輕輕鬆鬆切分豬扒，猜想肉質一定是不會韌柴了。亮著閃閃的肉汁光芒，將切得大大塊的厚身豬扒大咬一口，肉味濃郁得要慢慢感受。每一分每一寸的肉紋嚼勁，中間不乏肉汁，不會說是豐盈非常，但濕潤得宜。要說不足的話，大概就是調味鹹了半分，否則我就會想一秒獨霸了。

Ham Pizza　$128
　　來到澱粉質又點少得這兒款式多多的Pizza呢？雖然不是我愛的厚批，但此時來個薄批，教人滿足口腹之慾時亦不膩滯。在四式芝士薄餅及風乾火腿薄餅之間的抉擇，結果我們選了似乎豐富點的後者。預先切分好，薄脆的餅皮拿上手時沒有剎那間頹落塌陷，保持乾爽易拿。第一口吃到的不是風乾火腿的肉潤豐盈，而是批皮的薄脆嚼感。上面的芝士鹹香奶潤，風味固然不及四式芝士那麼獨行，但作為襯托就夠哂數。

Mont Blanc　$55
　　最後來份小小甜點補數，本想吃吃上次嚐到的自家製焦糖花生雪糕棒。可是店方指已經剩下少量，不足以讓我們一人一份。還記得雪糕棒的大小，小小一件又怎夠我們嗜甜者呢？還是各有各選吧。甜品只有三款，不計雪糕棒，剩下的只有Mont Blanc及Mousse Cake了。秋冬栗子國度，Mont Blanc比較吸引及合時，好似係。栗蓉的甜香細膩點到即止，入口細綿不死實，配以一旁的酸甜莓果清味，為這頓畫上句號。

Gatherings came one after another in December, and by the end of December, meet-ups were still in the flow but apparently most of us got fed up with feasts. Choosing what to have for a brunch is not an easy task when each of us tried various kinds of cuisine in our vacation AND hunger was, ironically, a stranger in this kind of meal-marathon. Resembling the concept of yum-cha in Chinese style, we chose to have tapas for brunch at Playa de Papagayo in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Tapas, featured by a wide spectrum of petit bites, is an attractive choice to be shared among folks, but some of my friends worry about the cost-performance ratio - it doesn't seem a worthwhile go if dishes are small but relatively pricey. Price should not be at all a concern here - there is 30% off discount for weekend brunch on the à la carte menu from 12nn to 5pm!

Named after a beach called Papagayo in Spain, the colour tone surprisingly deviates from blue and white as you may think of, to blue and GREY. Although it is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, its location, being a highly accessible one in between two MTR exits (N1 and N2) in 30-seconds walking distance, has a drawback of having no seaview, artwork related to beaches and the blue window sill back it up a bit to create the relaxing and casual vibe as if you were chilling at the seafront.

Alongside the bar area is an array of stools. The same kind of stools apply to most of the remaining seats in the restaurant. Lazybones can feel free to pick the sofa seats at the wall though.

Although Christmas was over, Santa Claus apparently hasn't yet terminated his contract - he was still clinging to the ceiling lights!

Other than the 30% off discount, $118 with free flow of red/white wine and Cava is alluring as well. With this budget, one can at most get two drinks, but all-you-can-drink is offered here.

For the menu, half of it is what we came for - Tapas. Perhaps to balance the Tapas concept and appeal to big eaters, rest of the menu goes for Spanish dishes at normal size, including mains like pizza, burgers, pastas and grill. Pricing is not aggressive, with Tapas ranging from $58 to $138 and mains at $160 on average.

We, in a quad, ordered 3 tapas dishes, 1 Burger, 1 paella and 1 main course, which turned out to be just right with no leftovers nor hungry cravings!

The baked egg cake and snails came shortly after ordering.

Baked Egg Cake in Spanish Style $68

Baked Egg Cake in Spanish Style

"Baked Egg Cake" may not be at all an accurate name - it is basically Tortilla. Served in a skillet, the tortilla had the eggy content cooked just right. Unlike French omelette which looks for loose and wobbly texture, Tortilla still maintained its shape after being cut into wedges.

What held it firm were its fruitful content - potato slices, onion and ham. Potatoes inside didn't go too starchy, so the texture remains tender with moisture inside. If one doesn't feel right to go without eggs for breakfast, he must give this a go.

Baked Spicy Field Snail w/ Herb & Garlic Butter (6 pcs) $78

Baked Spicy Field Snail w/ Herb & Garlic Butter (6 pcs)

My girlfriends decided not to take the name of this dish seriously - yes snails, but are they related to snail masks that we bought in Korea? Anyway, 6 snails were decently served on individual piles of mashed potato.

Wondering where the spice goes, I found it stuffed around the opening of the snail shell, therefore the dish remained sauce-less when all snails were eaten up.

The amount of spice is just right and it was not that spicy. The flavour was mainly herbal, however, garlic taste was not that heavy. Mashed potato below the snail seemed unrelated to the snail as it was basically sauce-less. It could be done better if the moist from the snail overflew to the mashed potato below.

Roasted Suckling Pig Cut w/ Homemade Sauerkraut & Smashed Potato $88

Roasted Suckling Pig Cut w/ Homemade Sauerkraut & Smashed Potato

Sauerkraut probably gave this dish a little German twist. Just being a different form of roasted pork, this tapas dish resembles a German pork knuckle served with mashed potato and sauerkraut. The portion wasn't that big but acceptable for nibbles.

Unlike the snails above, mashed potato was merged with suckling pig as a whole and didn't stand alone anymore. Suckling pig was perfectly roasted with a crispy exterior and tender flesh inside. Sour sauerkraut may shed sour highlights, balancing out the condensed buttery flavour of mashed potato.

Homemade Crab Burger w/Fries $118

Homemade Crab Burger w/ Fries

Not expecting to order a burger at a Tapas bar but it was so far the best dish of the day. $118 perfectly justfies such a large burger! Interestingly, the bun wasn't covering the crab cake when it was served - is it intentional to show me the crab cake before taking the first bite?

The crab cake was pan-fried to golden and crisp. It was thick enough to ensure not getting lost in a bite together with bun and veggies.

The crab cake had juicy filling, with delicate crab meat slices easily seen after a bite. Replacing beef, crab cake did a good job still, bringing a sense of seafood sweetness - this restaurant is named after a beach and seafood element is no stranger here!

Crisp was equally over the fries - not overdone and in a golden, appealing tone.

Seafood Paella (for sharing) $268

I thought this would be served in a traditional paella pan (a wide pan with a thin base), but it turned out to be in a pot. The portion would give two people a gratifying share, so sharing among four of us would be fine as a source of starch particularly for boys.

The prawn, nevertheless, seemed disproportionately large when compared to the pot of paella!

Broth might not be enough as what I expected from paella was moist with thick broth. The kind of rice picked might be a reason to blame - a kind of long-grained one which dried off quickly, leaving nearly no traces of broth but just the golden colour brought by Saffron. The taste, however, was good though not exactly in the caramelised form of paella that I used to have. Well served the purpose of getting substantial starch in boys' stomachs.

U.S. Kurobuta Pork Chop (~10oz) $258

U.S. Kurobuta Pork Chop (~10oz)

As prized for juiciness and tenderness, the Kurobuta pork chop stood out from any other pork belly that you could possibly try. Its fat content was high but didn't give a greasy and oily shine.

Though similarly priced as the paella, this was indeed worth a try more.

Having high fat content, this kind of pork was a good fit for high temperature cooking. Having it rightly roasted and melting caramelized fat on the exterior, as evidenced by the brown finish, it was crispy on the first touch and juicy in the seconds after. Fat marbling evenly throughout the meat but it wasn't greasy at all.

The luscious flavour of fat-rich pork couldn't go without a highlighting sauce - caramelised apple pieces!

We in fact wished to try the lollipop-like caramel ice cream and mont blanc, but simply too full to do so.

Having the bill with 30% off, I couldn't believe the per-head spending - around $150, possibly the cheapest tapas meal I have ever tried in Hong Kong. Though some of the dishes need improvement, price and variety made this restaurant a good choice to spend a laid-back weekend afternoon. Tapas shouldn't be appealing to big eaters, but this restaurant should have given them a go by its all-round menu of a wide array of mains as well.

Tapas are just for ladies or can just be snacks? Nope.

Other Info. : 30% off for a la carte menu (ie. dinner menu) for 12noon - 5pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays
