The Spanish wave is still on in Hong Kong and a must cuisine in any of the Western dining groups including the Enoteca Goup. Enoteca made a right choice to turn its ex-robata yaki restaurant Sake San to a chic Spanish/Portuguese bar. Located immediately next to the mid-levels escalator, Iberico & Co. is not hard to capture Westerners craving for tapas. Likely for administrative sake, the bar was labeled as “Licensed as Sake San” at the entrance.
Although I read from Open Rice that they closed at 1am, some of the items such as the chef special “5J’s Iberico Dumplings” were ran out before 11pm. And their last order marked at a quarter past midnight on the Saturday night I visited.
a) Sourdough Bread with Canary Island Mojo Dip ($18) – 6/10
We asked for some bread and found that it’s one of the paid items on the menu. With a couple of pieces of cold bread, the small dish of mojo dip was made with olive oil, garlic, paprika. Not very interesting though.b) Cos Lettuce, Anchovy Dressing, Roasted Garlic Croutons and Shaved Manchego ($88) – 8.5/10
This is the Caesar salad in the Spanish way. Instead of parmesan cheese, manchego (sheep cheese) was used. Much larger anchovies preserved in vinegar gave a more pleasant flavour to the salad. The lettuce was fresh, crispy and sweet. c) Fries with Black Truffle Salt and White Truffle Oil ($52) – 7.5/10
Black truffle salt was sprinkled over deep fried shoestring fries. The fries were not prepared to their best form. d) Grilled Paprika Spiced Sardines with Extra Virgin Olive Oil ($56) – 8.3/10
The sardines tasted better than their look with charcoaled skin. With a little bit crispy on their skin, the flesh was able to keep its moist and tender texture. e) Marinated Octopus with Parsley, Chili, Lemon & Olive Oil ($92) – 7.7/10
Chunks of octopus mixed with parsley, chili, garlic, onion and organic bay leaves to give a refreshing flavour. However, the meat of the octopus was way too soft and lacked its sturdy texture.f) Crispy Cider Roasted Pork Belly with Apples ($88) – 7.5/10
The meat of the pork belly was under seasoning and it’s skin was too tough due to lack of crispy texture. It reminded me of the roasted pig from local Chinese BBQ shop. The water crest on top was the highlight of the dish. g) Churros with 72% Coca Chocolate Sauce ($58) – 8/10
Sitting at the bar table, I saw a nearly a dozen orders of churros was sent out from the kitchen. The churros were freshly fried but quite starchy then the ones I had in Spain before. Good choice of dark chocolate from France that made itself a nice dip.g) Volteo Garnacha 2010 La Mancha Spain ($264) – 7/10
This low end Garnacha from Spain was sweet and drinkable though without complex palette nor finishing. Other than red and white, cocktails, they also served draft beer from Spain, Begium and France.04.2013
