Being outside of Central/Wanchai districts allows more space for restaurants to get creative with their decor, and La Paloma is a sprawling artsy joint that felt spacious and warm. We opted for the chef menu $398pax which is a bunch of tapas and a couple of mains, and we added a suckling pig and lamb short ribs to feed our party of 5 hungry people.Portions were generous for tapas, and great value as well (just look at the plate of jamon!), and we heartily tucked in while having catch up conversa

Being outside of Central/Wanchai districts allows more space for restaurants to get creative with their decor, and La Paloma is a sprawling artsy joint that felt spacious and warm. We opted for the chef menu $398pax which is a bunch of tapas and a couple of mains, and we added a suckling pig and lamb short ribs to feed our party of 5 hungry people.

Portions were generous for tapas, and great value as well (just look at the plate of jamon!), and we heartily tucked in while having catch up conversations. That's what tapas are for. My faves were the tuna, jamon and foie gras.

Jamon, soup, bruschetta, tuna

The garlic prawns were pretty massive and super garlicky, and the chorizo was juicy and fatty, with bread to mop up more of the sauce.

Suckling pig was good, but I'm not convinced about the sauce, as it made the skin less crispy. The lamb was awesome and great value, could have had another dish. The only let down was the paella, as you can see there wasn't much seafood on it, mostly rice and even then it was on the dry side. Hard to stomach.
