 We had a choice to sit at the "normal" tables but I guess I would much prefer sitting at the counter table to watch chef Lynch work.

 After my week-long battle with tonsillitis, I was getting a bit more health conscious these days so I started things off with a simple salad.

 Iberian meat platter - It comes with a variety of Iberian ham with the Bellota easily beating out the rest of the competition.

 Chorizo Tortilla - I always tell my friends about El Cerdo's tortilla (Spanish omelette). It's my favorite one in town because it has tons of potatoes in the middle. That's perfect for a potato freak like me!

 Mini beef burgers with quail egg and chorizo - The beef patty was pretty juicy but somehow not as tasty as the one I had last time (at their Tsuen Wan outpost).

 Churros with nutella sauce - For an additional $10, the lunch set comes with these freshly made churros served with this seriously rich nutella sauce.

 Deep fried rice pudding with orange and saffron sauce - Of course, I didn't stop there. More desserts in the form of rice pudding balls, deep-fried and drizzled in a saffron sauce. Love the orange zest inside the rice balls for a little bit of different texture and mild acidity. Fairly nice.

 I had to fight off the temptation to check out chef Alvin Leung's Plato 86 at Brim 28 to come here this afternoon but it's all worth it. Thank you chef Lynch for a wonderful meal again. I would most definitely be back pretty soon (Just the tortilla is worth the visit).
