Always loved Spanish food for the wide variety of tapas that are in small portions with innovative combination of ingredients. Great for greedy foodies and girls like me who like trying out numerous dishes without getting too full. Sai Ying Pun folks, Chico Chica is my recent recommendation. CC is a tiny little restaurant that fits around 20 customers. Quite a small one but I liked that intimacy (LOL) we had with the chefs.

CC is a tiny little restaurant that fits around 20 customers. Quite a small one but I liked that intimacy (LOL) we had with the chefs. I really enjoyed watching them at work and knowing how my food was prepared.
CC’s version of Sangria ($65) was slightly sweet with a very special aftertaste and depth that differentiated itself from the others out there. The owner explained that rum and vodka were added besides the usual suspects and thus the multiple flavours.
Bresaola roll ($95) - AIP dried beef, burrata, truffle
Not a common tapas but definitely worth a try for the interesting combination. The saltiness of bresaola was balanced by the creamy and milky burrata.
Pluma hansburger ($82) – Iberico pluma, bun, hoisin sauce
Oh how cute these little burgers were! Served pipping hot, the Iberico pork pluma drenched with hoisin sauce was tender and flavoursome, and the cucumber slice in it added an extra crisp and refreshingness to the meat. The bun was also lightly toasted to golden brown which meant all the details were well taken care of but the only complaint was that it tasted a bit too Chinese (yea, I am being super picky here).
Apollo chorizo ($78) - sunny side up egg, fried potato, chorizo
Make sure you don't miss this breakfast-looking tapas! The ingredients are simple, but the mixture of gooey egg yolk, crispy fried potato and chorizo made a palatable and fulfilling dish~
Hanger beef ($158) - carrot, purée, US prime beef, confit onion
The steak was packed with flavour while being extraordinarily tender despite the low fat content. That great texture was achieved by constantly basting the meat with loads of butter. Sounds really fatty but trust me, it's worth the calories.
We left satisfied and happy with their reasonably priced food of outstanding quality. Already planning to invite a couple more friends for my next visit so that we can try out more dishes but seriously 4 pax is the maximum number I would recommend due to their modest space (the only downside).
