My Spanish Restaurant Treasure List

Today, I went a bit further to Kai On for dinner. This small shopping mall is full of unique eateries, and my treasure on the list is Still Tapas. The entire restaurant specializes in Spanish cuisine, incorporating many Japanese-style elements, making the flavors more suitable for health-conscious Hong Kongers. There is a 15% discount for dinner reservations~ The restaurant decor is quite casual, mainly featuring wood and rattan elements, with colors like wood tones and soft greens, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Seating options include a bar counter, tables for two, and a long table for 10 people. I saw a large family celebrating Father’s Day comfortably seated. Tonight, I ordered the $698 two-person set meal, plus drinks to chill out easily. Although the restaurant relies on one floor and one chef to handle the entire dinner service, the dish delivery speed and service were very efficient and thoughtful, worthy of praise. Spanish Garlic Shrimp The garlic shrimp here is different from the usual heavy oil and salty versions. It includes tomato elements, adding a slightly sweet and sour taste that makes the overall flavor more prominent. The shrimp meat is firm and bouncy, with a lingering garlic aroma. Japanese Black Cod Sashimi Using South American-origin lime-marinated seafood, the restaurant adds tarragon to enrich the umami. The fish meat is tender, fresh, and very appetizing. Pan-Seared Slow-Cooked Octopus A super impressive giant portion, the flavor is quite similar to Japanese sakura-cooked octopus. The meat is tender and soft, pan-seared before serving to enhance the taste. Dipping it in the accompanying green sauce helps cut the richness. Squid Ink Abalone Spanish Seafood Paella Eating the squid ink rice that turns your mouth black is both loved and hated. The rice has a slightly chewy texture, and the abundant seafood is hidden in the ink. Every bite includes abalone, salmon roe, large shrimp, fish slices, and squid meat. Chewy Dessert Choice The final dessert highlights the fusion of Spanish and Japanese styles, with churros paired with warabi mochi. The churros are crispy outside, tender inside, sweet but not greasy. The warabi mochi is served with floral matcha sauce, offering a chewy texture combined with a fragrant tea flavor, an excellent enjoyment. Sparkling Sangria This Sangria is perfect for summer refreshment, with a refreshing taste and sweet fruit pieces, paired with sparkling wine for a slight buzz. Pomegranate Passion Cider The perfect appetizer choice, this drink is full of passion fruit elements.
