The Spanish are known for their enthusiasm and vitality. Their food culture is also based on enjoying the lifestyle. So it is not surprising if you don’t see anyone having dinner at 7pm in Spain. This is because the Spanish start eating Tapas and drinking from 5pm after work, and continue eating and drinking until 9pm before having dinner. But in fact, they continue eating, just ordering larger portions of food. So it is not an exaggeration to say that they eat for five or six hours throughout the night! There are many good Spanish tapas restaurants in Hong Kong. You must have heard of ROJO Tapas Bar & Restaurant (ROJO). They are one of the most well-known tapas restaurants in Hong Kong. In 2016, the restaurant owner William named the restaurant ROJO in Spanish. ROJO means red in Spanish, and red is one of the colors of the Spanish flag. In addition, red symbolizes passion and vitality, which can highlight the passionate and unrestrained cultural characteristics of Spain. William has worked in Europe for more than ten years. With his love for the sunshine in Western Europe, William brought Spanish tapas, which are full of Spanish style and passion, to Hong Kong, adding his own favorite flavors. In addition to local wine and food, ROJO also has a comfortable and romantic environment. William pays great attention to the quality of the dishes. He believes that the dishes cannot remain unchanged and must suit the tastes of Hong Kong people. For example, traditional Spanish cuisine is saltier and greasy, so the seasoning and cooking methods have been improved to make it taste lighter and less burdensome. In addition, the chef and store manager Oscar put their best efforts in preparing and introducing each Spanish-style Tapas, as well as the self-created Fusion Tapas, which incorporates Japanese, Korean and Thai cooking methods and ingredients, to be more in line with Asian tastes. I recommend you to try it first 🫑Fried Spanish green peppers with garlic Padron Pepper Fried Garlic HK$78 The green peppers are slightly spicy but very sweet, and fried with garlic, making it a perfect first appetizer! 🍤 Prawns in tomato sauce (new Tapas, ask the store manager) The most special thing about Tapas is the sauce, which makes the prawns even more flavorful. 🥓🥚Hot spring egg, roasted new potatoes, crispy Spanish ham Huevos Rotos (Broken Eggs) - Onsen Egg, New Potato, Crispy Iberico Ham HKD 78 This is a traditional Spanish side dish. French fries are commonly used in Spain, but ROJO cuts fresh potatoes into slices, which not only enhances the crispy taste but also allows customers to dip more sauce. The potato chips are topped with hot spring eggs, which looks quite eye-catching. Although both are very common ingredients, the combined taste of the two is irresistible. Finally, sprinkle with crispy Spanish ham, the salty and fragrant taste stimulates the taste buds. 🥔Spanish potato soft bacon sausage omelette Tortilla - Potato, Egg, Cheese and Sobersida HKD88 ROJO's omelette is made by adding cheese and spicy sausage, stir-frying it several times, and garnishing it with finely chopped sausage, giving it a salty and fragrant flavor. Finally, top it with salad dressing and Tabasco sauce to further enhance the taste. 🐖Spanish sauce fruit fed black pig air-dried leg 48 months Jamon Iberico (48 months) HKD 138 Spanish ham is famous all over the world. ROJO selects Spanish black and white pigs aged 24 and 48 months, and each type of ham has a different flavor. 🥘Spanish seafood rice (shrimp, clams, mussels) pork belly (large) Seafood Paella - Prawn, Clams, Mussels, Pork Belly HKD 268 (Lobster version available at HKD 398) ROJO’s paella is unique, with two flavors: one is the traditional flavor, and the other is paired with the giant lobster that Hong Kong people love. First, boil the broth until it dries up, then add Spanish rice to let the sauce fully absorb into the dish. Top it with mussels, squid, and shrimp, grill it for a while, and serve it deliciously. The fresh seafood is chewy when you put it in your mouth, and the rice grains that have absorbed the seafood sauce have a chewy texture. 🍘Fried Spanish Octopus Croquettes Croquetas de Pulpos -Fried Creamy Octopus, Mozzarella HKD88 ROJO's croquettes are made from flour, mozzarella cheese and cream. The croquette is wrapped with fresh Spanish octopus inside, giving it a sweet and chewy texture. The outside is coated with breadcrumbs and lightly fried until golden. Finally, mix it with Japanese teriyaki sauce. The combination of the two is unique and is a great accompaniment to wine. 🍣Grilled tuna with mango salsa Tuna Tataki HKD 88 The grilled tuna retains its tenderness, and after being marinated with seasoning and sprinkled with black pepper, it presents a natural salty and fragrant flavor. This dish contains about 8 slices of tuna, and the noodles are topped with fresh mango sauce. This sauce is a mixture of high-quality olive oil, fresh mango pieces, herbs, onions, and tomatoes, presenting a European pastoral flavor. 🍧Finally, we can’t miss a dessert. Few people have tried the Spanish dessert. Spanish cinnamon fried strips with chocolate sauce ice cream HK$68, the taste is very delicious. Two delicious cocktails you must try Mulled Sangria HKD 70 This is a traditional Spanish drink. ROJO's Sangria is a homemade drink that is a mixture of red wine, cinnamon sticks, strawberries, lemon and orange. Fresh fruity aroma and unique flavor. Add soda water, it tastes very good when it is cold. Apple Mojito (Please inquire with the store manager about the price of the new drink) This cocktail is made with Rum, Apple Liqueur, Mint Leaves, Lime and Syrup. The finished product is light green in color and is one of the most popular check-in drinks. The taste is sweet and sour, fresh and easy to drink, suitable for people who like to taste alcohol. 🥳🎄ROJO Tapas Bar & Restaurant Address: 3 Jupiter Street, North Point #christmasspain #rojo #tapas #barandrestaurant #christmascocktail #mulledsangria #chefpost #hot spring egg fried new potato crisps Spanish ham #grilled tuna with mango salsa #paella #fried Spanish green peppers with garlic #breathenewshk #frankkan #briefing
