OM Tapas adds to my nearly unbeaten record of not successfully finding a restaurant that I like in the Tsim Sha Tsui area as far as European cuisines are concerned. Either the market is just too scarce in terms of demand, or I am just terribly unlucky. OM Tapas is not horrible horrible, but it’s still a far cry from a tapas joint/bar in Spain. Food tastes like what locals might call “soy sauce Western cuisine” (meaning Chinese-style Western cooking), and presentation was disappointing. Services

Food Rundown

For starters, we had grilled bone marrow and cod brandada with sakura shrimp tortillas

"What on earth is that?” was our initial thought as we stared at the bone marrow and the “cod brandada” (has anyone ever seen a cod brandada that is flooded in ketchup?) 

I really am not sure what I have eaten there. This must have been the two worst tapas I have ever eaten or seen in my life. 

For mains, we had fisherman’s stew, Galician steak, Spanish ratatouille and roasted cabbage & pear. We also had a seafood paella for two (although they were separately served, on pans that weren’t hot).

Fisherman’s stew was, in essence, a piece of prawn, two clams, a scallop, one mussel and a slice of fish swimming in a broth of onion and tomato soup. The seafood was not fresh, and the broth was very Chinese.

Galician steak was terrible. It was 100% done and the chef decided to drizzle a lot of oil over it, which as I understand is not a particularly Spanish way of preparing steak. And if the steak was Galician, the chef has done a wonderful job at making it not seem so.

Spanish ratatouille was a stew of diced vegetables and that was that. There is not much to comment there.

Roasted cabbage was a disaster. It was drowned in oil, so much that you would smear your face full of it if you tried to eat the cabbage. We were really not sure why that was necessary.

Seafood paella was pretty much your everyday rice (with tomato sauce), with the same frozen seafood decorating it.

For dessert, we had wine poached pear and rice pudding.

The poached pear was very nice.

Rice pudding was also okay. Maybe a little sweet but that is a personal preference thing. 

I might add that this was a Restaurant Week menu ($399 +10% per person), so it was supposed to be representative of the best the kitchen has to offer.
