Discovery Bay has not only become a tourist destination with the Auberge Discovery Bay Hotel, but also a dating destination with a Sunday market, seaside dining, the Pavilion / White Chapel for wedding and even horse-drawn carriage ride. Going to Solera was part of my birthday celebration. The summer heat was killing us throughout the day, so it was such a relief to sit back and enjoy a hearty dinner. It’s getting dark at seven and the alfresco dining scene was gorgeous, but we wouldn’t venture

Discovery Bay has not only become a tourist destination with the Auberge Discovery Bay Hotel, but also a dating destination with a Sunday market, seaside dining, the Pavilion / White Chapel for wedding and even horse-drawn carriage ride. Going to Solera was part of my birthday celebration. The summer heat was killing us throughout the day, so it was such a relief to sit back and enjoy a hearty dinner. It’s getting dark at seven and the alfresco dining scene was gorgeous, but we wouldn’t venture into the heat and booked a window table.

 The restaurant was quite dark and cozy, with not much clutter in the decor. The wine list was substantial, and there were even three variations of sangria, namely white wine, red wine and watermelon. Although paella was such a stable for a Spanish meal, we decided to try out more tapas instead. We chose fried cod fish ball with garlic lemon sauce, jamon Iberico cold cut platter with tomato toast, grilled sardine, sautéed spinach with pine nuts and raisins, Tortilla de Patata (Spanish Omelette) with homemade sauce and gazpacho. For drinks, we took the sangria in white wine and watermelon.

 It was so dark that the food all looked gloomily red. White wine sangria was refreshing but without the tartness of red wine. The watermelon sangria was quite strange and the watermelon cubes soaked in there tasted odd and too sweet. Probably not supposed to be eaten? The fried cod fish ball was real salty though the garlic lemon sauce was very nice. Jamon Iberico cold cut platter was so-so, same as those available in cold meat store in a pack. The grilled sardine was not to my liking as the belly was bitter. Probably the viscera had not been removed. We liked the gazpacho with the refreshing tomato taste, a little breadcrumbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Tortilla de patata was commended by the other reviewers for authenticity. I also happened to see it looked quite alike with those sold in La Boqueria as seen on TV. The potato blended in well with the fried egg to give a wholesome taste. It would be lovely to eat as breakfast also. The in-house sauce to go with it was pungent with raw garlic. Sautéed spinach with pine nuts and raisins was the latest to arrive. The ingredient combination was quite funny to me.

 Overall, the food was real salty so as to go with wine, and we were left extremely thirsty the entire night after the meal. I appreciate the relaxing ambience and this place was definitely worth recommending for a good date.
