When we found out that a new Tapa Room had opened near us, we were so excited to try it out as it was in a much more convenient location for us than the other two branches. We had dined in the other two branches before and has a positive experience, so we wanted to try the new branch out as well. Unlike the other branches, there was a TST special menu, which offered special variations of their other classic tapas from the original menu. We ordered 3 cold tapas, 2 hot tapas, 1 main, and 2 drinks to share between 2 people.

1. Octopus Carpaccio w/ Sea Grapes $98
We had previously tried the other octopus carpaccio from the kwun tong branch, but there were no sea grapes on that one, and we decided to order this dish again since it was a TST special. The sauce for the octopus was packed with spices and had a tangy taste, and the sea grapes added an interesting texture that had little particles popping open in your mouth like fish roe. However, the dish was overall slightly salty, which lowered our impression of it.

2. Foie Gras Lollipop w/ Sake $98
Again, we had tried this in the Kwun Tong branch but this time the TST branch decided to add sake with this cold tapa, which we thought was a great idea! The foie gras lollipops were rich and creamy, and the pistachio bits added a nutty freshness. The server recommended that we drink the sake after eating the lollipop and this helped to wash down any lingering taste residue of the foie gras before eating other tapas. The sake itself was warm, and was of good quality, and was not pungent or burn your throat. Overall, we enjoyed this TST special cold tapa.

3. Cold cut Platter Jamon, Manchego Cheese $88
This cold platter consisted of Jamon (ham), cheese, and slices of pear. The sweetness of the pear complimented well with the Jamon, and the cheese was rich and also paired well with the Jamon. Overall, this was a good cold cut platter as a side dish, especially when paired with alcohol.

4. Spanish Potato Omelette w/ Cod Roe $98
We had tried this at kwun tong and cwb before, but tst decided to add a new twist to the potato omelette by adding pockets of cod roe into the omelette! When we cut into it, the pockets of cod roe oozed out from without and were a delightful experience to eat. However, since some bits of omelette would contain more cod roe than others, some bites ended up quite salty. Overall, the cod roe added an interesting salty flavour to the omelette, but we both definitely preferred the original omelette without it! Nonetheless, it was worth trying.

5. Grilled Red Prawns $88
Really flavourful prawns, which were crisp and fresh. All of the prawns were very large in size, and the plethora of herbs used to season the shell of the prawns complimented well with the freshness of the shrimp. However, do note that they were quite messy and difficult to eat as some of the meat would be stuck on the shell. Overall, good hot tapa to share.

6. Iberco Pork Chop in Sherry Vinegar Gravy (Medium Well) $158
This was definitely the biggest surprise of all the dishes ew tried that day! Neither of us are huge pork fans, but the waiter recommended this to us so we decided to try it since we had previously tried the steak and the paella at different branches already and wanted to try a different main course. The portion was very big, and the pork was very very tender! It was not chewy at all, nor were the fibers of the pork hard to chew on. The glazing was a mixture of sweet and saltiness, and tasted slightly sweeter than we had imagined. The potatoes that came with the pork were also amazing, with a crisp outer edge and soft core that paired so well with the pork and the sangria we had ordered. Overall, this was our favourite dish of the day so we highly reccomend it!

7. Drinks Red and white Sangria $60 each
After trying the white sangria and loving it so much last time, we decided to order a red and a white to compare to see which one we'd like more. To our delight, both of them were very good - the white pulled slightly sweeter, though the red was not bitter not did it have that bitterness of poor quality wine. They were of a great size to compliment us throughout the entire dining experience, and paired amazingly with all the tapas, especially those that were slightly saltier. 10/10 would recommend these drinks!
