BARcelona spanish tapas y vinos

There's a new place in town where you can hang around with your friends for happy hour, to chill around and have some nice drinks, and to eat some nice foods in a nice cozy environment. The place is called BARcelona (yes, like the famous football club in Spain) Its located just beside SOHO bar.

You can choose either to sit inside, where there is a pool table and PCs with internet connection on every tables....or you can hang out on the bar outside chit-chatting with you buddies and enjoy some alcoholic drinks.


They offered a very wide selection of foods and drinks (especially alcoholic drink), I'm only gonna elaborate on some of it in here.
Shown above are some of their appetizers. And in clockwise order, the first one is the King Prawn and Crispy Batter, next is the Tuna Alioli which is grilled tuna prepared in garlic and mayonnaise. The third one will be the Chicken Mushroom in olive oil and the last one is Seafood Plancha. The latter three are all served with bread.

This is the Boneless Wings, it was boneless and it wasn't actually wings, its like some sort of breaded chicken meat shaped like a chicken wing served with their traditional BBQ sauce.

Now into the main course, their Barcelona Grilled Lamb is recommended. It wasn't too hard to bite like in some restaurant and they had a slight taste of herbs in it. Served with seasonal vegetable and mashed potato.

Next up is the Sizzling Chicken Primavera, it was chicken breast marinated with garlic, onion and pepper and served on a hot plate. The chicken meat was a bit hard, otherwise it will be just as delicious as the name suggest.

Another dish in their chef's cookbook is Dory in Lemon Butter Sauce. The name of the dish says it all, it was grilled fillet of dory served with lemon butter sauce...easy as that. Suitable for people who want to have a lighter meal.

Their Fish & Chips on the other hand, was just like the ordinary one you can get in a normal western food restaurant.
The dessert though, wasn't the best I can say. It was just so so.... from left: Blueberry Pudding, Orange Pudding and Tiramisu.

I have visited the bar three times, and its quite frustrating that every time I wanted to order a bottle of Budweiser or a nice glass of Hoegaarden, the answer was always "Sorry sir, not available....yet!!" So I had to settle with a Kilkenny instead.

The one thing that I noticed is lacking in the bar is a big screen TV or projector. Where people can gather around on a Friday and Saturday night for an exciting football match. The management should seriously consider about it as World Cup is just around the corner.

Open daily from 11am - 4am
