It was a Saturday evening, although the three of us didn't book a table , we did find a table at a inside corner, so view wise, it wasn't a great table but at least lucky to have a table without waiting.I guess this tells me that this is a popular restaurant at Discovery Bay and if you are going to visit on a weekend, it is probably best to book a table.This is probably my 4th visit to this restaurant. The fact I am returning to this restaurant is definitely a good sign. Solera has also been vot

I guess this tells me that this is a popular restaurant at Discovery Bay and if you are going to visit on a weekend, it is probably best to book a table.
This is probably my 4th visit to this restaurant. The fact I am returning to this restaurant is definitely a good sign. Solera has also been voted Best Restaurant in Lantau.
We went for Tapas this time and we choose the following:
1. Spanish Egg and potato omelette ( Tortilla de Patata)
This is actually my personal favourite. it is a simple dish, and perhaps if you are not familiar with this homely spanish dish, you may not even order it, as potato omelette may sound just too plain. However, I would advise you to try this dish, as this is a dish which my Spanish Ex-colleague used to bring from home on the time. She told me that this is a staple food for her family just like how Chinese families often have rice as a staple food.
The Solera 's version of the Tortilla Patata definitely scores well with the home made ones I used to have from my Spanish friend. The egg in the omelette has just the right fluffiness to contrast with the testure of the potato pieces. The pink sauce that comes with the dish, gives it just the right flavour to this homely dish.
2. Scallop ceviche
I have a special liking for raw food, from Japanese Sashimi, the Italian Carppaccio to the South American ceviche. This ceviche dish is a little fusion with foam, and salmon roe in it. The important thing is to eat all these different parts together to give you a special flavour of citrus and fresh seafood. The scallop was fresh and sweet. My friend enjoyed the dish so much , that she ordered seconds.
3. Pork Belly
Four pieces of pork belly is served for this Tapas dish. The pork belly is so well made that it literally melts in your mouth and the meat is very tender. I don't normally eat pork belly because of its fattiness but this one is an exception as you really cant't taste the fattiness at all. All you get is a rich taste, enhanced by the slightly sweet sauce. Remember to eat this dish whilst it is still warm.
4. Home made orange chocolate truffles.
Again a great dish that we have to order seconds. Truffles melt in your mouth with just the right mix of better sweet from the dark chocolate and the complementing orange jam like topping.
Service is mediocre. I hope the management of the restaurant can read this review and improve thier service quality. Also it needs to be recognised , whilst not being discriminatory, just because a waitress is Filipino, she may not speak or understand English very well. If English is the job requirement, please assess the person's language and do not assume language proficiency by race.
