My husband and I have always loved Spanish cuisine. We have been to the Rustico @D2 Place for a few times and the PR told us that they are having a sister restaurant in the Hart Avenue. So here we are in Alzina, ready for another Spanish meal.The restaurant is hiding amongst the bars and pubs in the Hart Avenue. The entrance is inconspicuous so one may easily miss this out.

The restaurant is hiding amongst the bars and pubs in the Hart Avenue. The entrance is inconspicuous so one may easily miss this out.
The restaurant staff were all very friendly and enthusiastic. They greeted customers with warm welcome whenever someone came in! The inside of the restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated! There are some high tables near the entrance which are ideal for drinks and chitchat with friends; while the rear part of the restaurant is arranged with dining tables of diffident size suitable for big group or small group diners.
We were seated near the open kitchen/bar so we can see chef slicing Iberico ham when diners place orders.
We arrived at 8-ish and found that we missed the happy hour offer which was a really good deal
Anyways.. let's go to the menu to see what to get for our stomach tonight! The menu offers a great variety of tapas, meat from the barbecue and paella. There are tapas for seafood lovers, meat lovers and veggie lovers, catering for different diners' preferenceMy hubby ordered his all time favourite tapas, pan-fried prawn in chilli olive oil. The shell-off prawns were infused with the strong flavours of garlic, chilli and olive oil! It is definitely a must have tapas!

As we could not decide which part of Iberico Pork we would love most, we opted for the assortment platter which included the best parts of the pig (pluma, presca and secreto). The meat was perfectly grilled, with top and bottom charred but mostly pink inside. Different parts have slightly different texture, some part is more chewy than the other, but generally speaking they are all tender and juicy. I have a feeling that Iberico Pork might be one of the best (if not the best) pork one can find.

We were actually quite full after all these but we felt compelled to have a paella The waiter assured us that the portion should be just alright for 2 people so we ordered a traditional one.
The paella was served on a small 'wok' and the waitress warned us not to touch the wok as it's rather hot! The rice was quite al dente and there were generous portion of seafood and meat in the rice. When I asked the waitress what meat was added inside, she said Iberico Pork was addedThe paella was very appetising and was a must have dish for a Spanish meal, highly recommended!
