ACAMASEATS & GTK💮: Atop the paper thin corn tuile are slices of smoked Atlantic mackerel, purée sweet red bell pepper and a miso infused eggplant/brinjal purée.
A well executed take on escalivada, the sweetness as well as the smokiness of the mackerel creates a playful combination with the purée. If you are intimidated by the oiliness and pungent flavour of mackerel, this might just change your mind. 🔖

However, for the price one pays I’d expect at least a few lobster chunks. Nonetheless, the Paella was prepared using the lobster head which is always the best part of any shellfish. 🤤
.
The Saffron aioli and sea urchin are the weaker link here as they are being outcasted by the strong flavour of the lobster. But the thing I love about this Paella is that they added the “Burnt Ends Rice” to it. Crispy, charred burnt smell - Which is the main reason you eat Paella or any other Claypot rice dishes. 🔖

ACAMASEATS & GTK💮: Every time when I have Suckling Pig, I can’t help but compare it to how the Chinese or the Philippines prepare theirs, be it roasted pig or Lechon. Esquina executes theirs rather well. Uber crispy skin, juicy and silky smooth meat. 🤤
.
A little too fatty for my liking but the Christmasy Rhubarb and Apple chutney cuts the oiliness nicely. Take a chunk of the Suckling Pig, swirl it with the mulled wine jus then chase it with the chutney. If this preparation doesn’t put you in the Christmasy mood, I don’t know what will. 🔖

ACAMASEATS & GTK💮: If there’s just one “Snacks or starters” you should get, it’ll be this hands down. Freshly shucked Brittany Tsarksya Oyster is bathed in jalapeño ponzu that brings out the sweetness and is addictive especially when paired with a glass of cava. 🤤
.
The salmon roe and pickled ginger flower makes each Oyster a refreshing delight to have, the Japanese inspiration is prominent and if you have a deeper pocket on that day order half a dozen of it. 🔖

ACAMASEATS & GTK💮: The palate cleanser depends on what you had before the desserts I assume, either Chocolate Ice Cream or Sangria Sorbet Cone. Then comes the “BBC”... 🤤
.
The combination of Dark Chocolate with sea salt naturally brings out the sweetness in the chocolate, topped with olive oil caviar gives the dessert a much more smooth finish. 🔖

What makes the dish standout from the other usual Foie Gras dishes is the addition of a thin layer of puff pastry at the bottom.
The contrast of textures is simply brilliant, crusty, flaky & airy pastry against the butter like Foie Gras, the sherry vinegar glaze just cuts through the richness nicely together with the sweet shallots. 🤤
.
An off the menu item but once you see it pop up as “Today’s Special” do not even hesitate to order it. Though the portion might be a tad on the smaller side, it’s packed with flavours that you’ll remember fondly for quite awhile, like an attractive petite girl with bold, strong feminist character. 🔖
