We celebrated heart's day at Alba Restaurante Espanol, a restaurant serving traditional spanish dishes here in Manila. They offer Lunch and Dinner Buffet plus a wide selection of dishes in their ala carte menu.
I was so glad because the place suits this special day, isolated yet intimate. I love the romantic spanish theme and there were musicians serenading the whole place.
Dinner Buffet costs P695 plus 10% service charge. Though there are only limited dishes to choose from, I wouldn't mind paying such amount because all from the selection were perfectly cooked to delight everyone's palate!
The Roasted Beef was a pure winner for me!
The Paella Valenciana tasted so right but I have to control my self from eating so much.. The other yummy dishes need space in my tummy.=)
Paella de Cordero (Lamb paella) - I love this more than the traditional paella. I'm really into everything with mushrooms.
Lengua Sevillana - Stewed ox-tongue with mushroom & olives in rich sherry brown sauce.
Cochinillo Asado - oven roasted suckling pig. The skin was real crisp and the meat was tasty and less oiled.Oh my!Why are these so bad for us?=p
Tostadas and dips. Another weakness..can't remember how many times I had this! My favorite are the Quezorizo (left) and mushroom pate (center)
Tabla de Embutidos are assorted cold cuts paired with a sweet tomato salsa - fun to try! My favorite was the one at the middle
The only choice for pasta..
Tender and juicy Lapu - Lapu fillets
Pollo al Ajillo - Boneless chicken in spicy garlic sauce
The shrimps are not part of the buffet.This is Mimi's choice from the ala carte menu (P300 plus)
Desserts. too bad I wasn't able to taste the Canonigo (Meringue cake with vanilla custard sauce)
Macaroons.=)
Sorry for the photo but this is My favorite!tastes like banoffee pie!
I forgot to take photos of their chorizos,croquetas and meatballs because I got overwhelmed with them so much!Sobrang sarap!=p
I highly recommend Alba for those who wanted to go spanish all the way! The food was superb for a buffet setting..
All smiles are on me because of this person I'm with.=) Happy Valentine's everyone!
