一向好少吃spanish food, 經常有種覺得在香港食會被rip off。感恩有restaurant week, 令我可以試到被譽為全港最好吃之西班牙菜之一！

訂了8:45, 早到了15分鐘，侍者就提議我們可到樓上的bar坐坐。
竟然還有happy hour，只需50蚊就有一杯紅酒，有此景色－樂也！

很喜歡這裡的音樂，是輕快有民族特色，跟餐廳整體很配合，就是很輕鬆愉快的感覺。
侍者都是好casual, 甚至一點點lay back，在此用餐並沒有fine dining 的壓力！

以下的食物全部都值得推介，黑毛豬果然是皇牌！色澤通透，富油脂，配上紅酒一流！

Iberico ham with tomato bread

帶子上面的脆脆增加口感，西班牙處理海鮮都以濃味為主的　

Scallop ceviche with avocado

Bikini不得了，truffle香氣一直在口腔裡散發，幾肥也值得！
Salmon air bag男友很欣賞，我略覺得cream cheese太多

Bikini & Salmon air bag

Steak tartar配crispy shrimp是不錯的，不過我認為太油，如可加上大量火箭菜會更好

在所有出色tapas當前，croquette變得不太特別了

Pan fried squid的墨汁做得不錯，是全晚唯一較清的菜式

Pan fried squid

其實吃到這裡已經好飽，不過主菜suckling pig應該以慢煮型式處理，非常索汁。
雖然皮不是脆的，但好薄，連同中間一片油脂加肉吃下，非常可口嫩滑！別少看配菜，薯仔以蕃茄層層疊上，椰菜花及其他菜以garlic pan fry，要清碟沒有難度！

另一主菜lobster & seafood paella - 要投訴的是根本沒有lobster，不過飯超香好美味！雖然沒有西班牙的乾身，不過都很滿意了，但當然二人吃不下整個飯，侍者也醒趣地幫我們打包，我喜歡這種不浪費食物的態度！

最後甜品環節真的飽到不行了，一向對churros都沒有興趣，原想放棄，但見到自家制vanila ice cream和特濃chocolate sauce, 加上churros應該是即炸的，又要愉快地清碟了！我最喜歡3款東西混在一起吃，甜美可口！

這是一個非常愉快的用餐體驗，我們最後又叫多杯紅酒配菜，真的很有神奇作用，偶然濃味一下就好，不過當然不能常吃！
還值得一讚是整晚有位黑人音樂家為我們演奏西班牙local music, 他真的超厲害，能懂最少5種樂器！更為是日晚餐添加了不少樂趣！

喜愛西班牙菜的我一直想到Fofo食飯，上個月本來有一個wine pairing dinner在Fofo, 但最後未能出席。上星期與舊同學聚餐，我便提意到這裡吃飯。餐廳成長方形，環境簡潔，每張枱的距離不多，常可聽到其他客人的談話內容。坐下不久，服務員便端上了餐前小食，有番茄麵包多士及數粒橄欖。沒想到放了大概十分鐘的多士仍然很脆，正好用來一邊送酒，一邊等人齊。點菜時才知道我們四人之中Simon曾經來過，他推薦Suckling pig及傳統西班牙海鮮飯。其他人沒意見，更將點Tapas的重任交給了我，以下便是"任我點" Tapas的食評! 我一直想試這裡的Scallop Ceviche, 回想起第一次食Ceviche是在南美厄瓜多爾，新鲜生魚肉用檸檬汁、酸橙汁醃制後再加洋蔥蓉，鹽及其他配枓，是很醒胃的菜! Fofo 的 scallop ceviche用料十分新鮮，帯子鮮甜，入口軟稔，配以微香的牛油果，感覺十分清新! Suckling pig果然不負所望!乳豬皮脆，肉軟稔，不油膩，下面放了黑松露薯餅，十分可口! 手切伊比利亞36個月黑毛豬火腿，濃烈咸香，如怕太咸，可伴以番茄麵包。

番茄多士及橄欖

Tapas的食評!

我一直想試這裡的Scallop Ceviche, 回想起第一次食Ceviche是在南美厄瓜多爾，新鲜生魚肉用檸檬汁、酸橙汁醃制後再加洋蔥蓉，鹽及其他配枓，是很醒胃的菜! Fofo 的 scallop ceviche用料十分新鮮，帯子鮮甜，入口軟稔，配以微香的牛油果，感覺十分清新!

scallop ceviche

Suckling pig果然不負所望!乳豬皮脆，肉軟稔，不油膩，下面放了黑松露薯餅，十分可口!

手切伊比利亞36個月黑毛豬火腿，濃烈咸香，如怕太咸，可伴以番茄麵包。可能是由於手切，每片火腿都較坊間吃到的厚身很多。

hand sliced iberico ham

西班牙芝士拼盤配啤梨醬，很特別的配搭，喜愛芝士的人必試!

Spanish Cheese Platter

暖波菜配黑毛豬腩片，松子仁及提子乾，這個暖沙拉很特別，太多肉的一餐必須有這道菜!

Warm Spinach Salad

傳統西班牙波士頓龍蝦及海鮮燴飯，飯軟稔，汁香濃，多汁，這是我喜愛的海鮮飯的組合!

大蒜蝦。我在西班牙的一個月內曾經多次食大蒜蝦都沒有大蒜味，這裡的大蒜蝦加上辣椒及用了橄欖油煎香，是地道化(本土化)的口味!

Garlic and Chili Prawn

灰燒及清炒雜菜

mix grilled and saute vegetables

甜品四款：（順時針方向)焦糖燉蛋，不太焦糖；朱古力心太軟配咖啡雪糕，喜愛濃郁味的必然之選；蘋果撻配拖肥及香草雪糕是我的最愛! 西班牙炸脆條配暖朱古力醬及香草雪糕，脆條較油膩。

整體來說，我們都滿意這頓晚餐；而服務員的耐心介紹及細心招呼亦應記一工!

Date Dined: Monday 29th August 2011- 6.30pm

Intro:spanish tapas to me seems EXPENSIVE and SMALL portion, so has never been one of my top cuisine. but in london, there has a been a trend for comtemporary tapas, which i love. The food is much more choice and it atste better, in my opionion. so after searching, I wanted to come to FoFo by el willy for so long. anf yes, spanish tapas is seen to be xpenisive for such a small portion and for a chinese perception, we like our food cheap and HUGE portion. So let see if ordering 5 tapas and a drink will fill this chinese person up.

"Tapas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtapas]) is the name of a wide variety of appetizers, or snacks, in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or warm (such as chopitos, which are battered, fried baby squid). In select bars in Spain,
The serving of tapas is designed to encourage conversation because people are not so focused upon eating an entire meal that is set before them " WIKIPEDIA

SO EAT SMALL, TALK MORE!!!!!!! is the art of tapas!

Ordered
Fried croquettes of iberian ham of 36months, $98
Crispy suckling pig on potatoes with mojo picon sauce, $115
Pan fried Foie gras with truffle and confit onion, #98
Spanish omellete with with poatoes &onions $60
Organic eggs cooked at 62 degree in crispy potatoes and onion nest with chorizio $110

Drinks- Pink sangria (jar) $380

差 looks yummy but taste disgusting

Taste: Spanish omellete with with poatoes &onions $60- This was made just as the one I had before UK. Nice and round. bright yellow with bits in it looking like onion! This was VERY VERY VERY VERY disappointing. As far as I am concerned, Spanish omellete usually are called Tortilla, and for the past few times I have ordered, the centre seems bit more runny. So when you cut open the egg, some egg will flow out. Even if i am wrong, this egg omellette is way overcooked. The egg should be creamy and souffle like, But isntead this was hard, dry and stiff. was not enjoyable eating and would HIGHLY NOT recommend this dish. a;though this will fill you up as it is made of eggs and potatoes.

差 Ugly croquette

Fried croquettes of iberian ham of 36months, $98 - This was yet another disappointing dish. The crquette came in small portions. Came in 6. So small and not appealing at all. The texture was squashy and soft. teh outside was not crispy or hard, seems like the whole thing was small and soft. teh size did not appeal to me. the taste was averahe. i prefer other places that makes croquette. costing nearly 100 dollars was not worth it. the inside was creamy and had more taste than the tortilla. I had only one piece and did not intend to have another piece.

yummy Foie gras

Pan fried Foie gras with truffle and confit onion, #98 - this came in four piece. All comes with on top of a piece of toast. This looked absolutely amazing and could not wait to dig in. the foie gras was lightly pa fried so it was nice and warm, on top of a green leaf then on top of the toast.

Close up of the foie gras

Underneath the toast was the confit onion, which i had to scoop up after having the foie gras. The taste of the onion compliments the foie gras, brings out the rich buttery taste of the foie gras. Because the foie gras is softa nd creamy, the toast adds more of a texture to it and also neutralizing the rich taste. What a perfect combination. although i cannot taste the truffle which is said to be in the dish, this was still the perfect dish. 4 in a portion, small portion, but just enough. Enough for your satisfaction and enough for you to daydream about it after the meal.. For 100 hkd, this was absolutely WORTH IT!

Crispy potatoes and onion birdnest

Organic eggs cooked at 62 degree in crispy potatoes and onion nest with chorizio $110- This came in a rather BIG bowl. And yes, you can imagine it as a bird nest with the fried crispy stripes of potatoes. With then two organic eggs on top. We chose it with chorizio. We asked the waitress to scramble the egg ina nd mix it around. Which soon the egg becomes the creamy runnys auce mixed with the cripsy potatoes with chorizio scattered around. At first this dish tasted bit strange. it is like something i have never experienced. the texture was absolutely different. the potatoes are thina nd so crispy and you cannot atste the potatoe taste to it nomore. the egg sauce was slowly making the cripsy potatoe less crispy. There arent much taste to it unless you eat it with the chorizio, as it is VERY salty. chorizio is rather hard and stiff, but extremely salty just like our cured chinese sausage. But a good combination. A must try for a new sensation experience.
It became soggy in the end as the crispy potatoes has soaked up the egg mixture. So our kind waitress did advise us to eat it warm.

Crispy suckling pig on potatoes with mojo picon sauce, $115- This also came in 4. each crispy suckling pig was nicely cutted into a square shape, most proabably 3cm by 3cm. each on top of a potato. the potato is much smaller than the suckling pig, that way it will not over take the taste of the pig. the dish came with the sauce which i tasted of alot of pepper and little bit sweet. I put the sauce onto the potato as the potato was tasteless, lack of seasoning, maybe for a purpose.

potatoe and the pig seperately

The suckling pig was crispy and the meat was really tender. Although when you try to cut the pig, it usualy seperates the skin and the meat of the pig. the skin of the pig was delicious, crispy and not hard as some places try to reheat the pig and turns the skin real hard.

Pink sangria (jar) $380 -Mixed of Barcardi Rum, white wine, cassis, strawberry and grapefruit. - i chose this sangria than the red or white sangria because of the fruits thatw as mixed into it. with pink sanfria, they would use strawberry, cassis and grapefruit. whereas the red sangria would use peach liquer and cinnamon. the white sangria, would use lychee and apple. to me, starwberry and cassis seems more fruity and sweeter to me. And, FYI, it was NOT disappointing. I loved it. i cannot taste much of the white wine, but i could taste the cassis and strawberry. made me drink more and more. I expected it to be quite a small glass, but soemhow was rather a BIG glass. it really fills you up. i had about 3-4 glass. 1 jar of sangria nad 5 plates of tapas made me really full. So not a good idea if you aren't going to stay a whole night to chat, but just for dinner. if you know you can't drink TOO much and wonts tay for too long, i will opt for a glass instead which only cost $65 dollars.

Service: we were served by a waitress who was superb. i can't say perfect as there was still room for improvement, like maybe try smiling bit more, but she was good enough/ Even when we took a long time to order food, she recommended us some dishes. Our tables was quite small, so our dishes did not all fit on our tables, she asked if we would like the unfinshed dish be put onto a smaller dish. Our sangria was refilled very often too. Like I said, they paid attention to us but would have been better if more of a smile. everybody likes to see a happy face. After the bill, I realize there is a comment card slipped inside. I like places who consider their costumers comments to be valuable. so i decided to write my comment , but OH NO, there was no pen.

So was it just an act tos how they do care about your comments but dont expect or want you to comment. Anyhow, later on, the manager gave us a pen. I dont know, if they would read the comments I gave or thrown away in the bin.

Conclusion: I expected quite a lot from this restaurant, as I have seen nice pictures on openrice and read nice reviews. there are few missed on the dished which gave me a bad impression of the restaurant. we have earlier booked atable for two for 8.30pm. It was 80 percent full. we were seated infront of teh bar on EXTREMELY small tables. there are two sides of seating area, on the left and right of the bar. More privacy and better view. But we were seated in the middle, infront of the bar. No privacy, no view. Not exactly best seat. Seems like they just put some tables there for emergency. did not like it.

menu- suckling pig is the signature dish

The wines was huge and that impressed me as majority was spanish wine, and 3 different types of sangria.There are lots of choices on tapas, from salads, to cold meat, rice and seafood. even two pages of dessert. I was TOTALLY disappointed in the spanish omellete which immediately make me dislike the restaurant and think it is overated by me. spanish omellette is a simple dish that can be easily made.But this dish by them was HARD, STIFF nad DRY. Cannot get wosrt. the suckling pig was crispy and suckling, cooked to perfect, although many people wouldnt like the spicy sauce, you can always eat it without the sauce. It will still taste good.
the Foie gras was my favourite. i wished I have never ordered the croquette which was badly made, I would have ordered two paltes of the Foie gras. it was warm, creamy on a crispy piece of toast. Yum. i highly recommend.
as there are a few hits and missed, I did not order dessert as I did not want to disappoint myself anymore. the place is on 20th floor above beijing club at M88 in LKF. Not high class, but not too cheap. casual dress will be fine.
TBH there is one thing i really dont like about thsi place is, the waiters and waitress seldomly group together chatting. That is not very professional. And soemtimes two of them would stand right next to me so i can clearly hear what they are discussing about which also not evry appropriate. To make sure your service is top notch i think they need to improve on this and look abit more professional.

Overall nice place in Hk as not many Comtemporary spanish tapas place in Hk. Price isnt outrageous nor cheap but good if you are coming with few friends for a chat to eat and drink. But do however considr it is Mitchelin star rated!
