Enjoy Authentic Spanish Cuisine at La Barra in Tableria Food Park
Of all the food park in the metro and
nearby places, my friends and I were happy to find a rare food stall that
serves authentic Spanish cuisine. Yes, we find one at the Tableria Food Park
after a short visit from the Shoe Museum in Marikina. La Barra, is such a
breath of fresh air from the usual food stall you can find in many food parks.
La Barra serves authentic Spanish dishes
like Gambas, Croquetas, and of course, Paellas. We find the place very
welcoming and the smell wafting from the kitchen makes us hungrier after that
short jaunt at the museum.
Immediately we were served with Paella
Valenciana, Gambas and Croquetas.
For starters we tried the croquetas and I
was a bit surprised that it doesn’t taste like the Croquetas I know. We learned
that it is made from Bechamel. The kind of topping we find in Lasagna and
wouldn’t you know it, it is good! You should dipped it with the special salsa
included in the dish.
The Paella Valenciana is so filling especially
with its generous toppings of shrimps, seafood and chicken. They used the rice
variety of Dinorado in this dish and it easily absorbed the combination offlavors
that make up one of the best paella valenciana I've ever had!
I'm not one to eat seafood, really, but the mixed flavorsmade me tried it for
once.
Another of La Barra’s fantastic food is the oh-so-yummy Gambas. It is so
flavorful and the shrimps really absorbed the olive oil which have bits of
chorizos which makes it so delicious. The oil of the dish is enough for me,
seriously.
We finished our meal with Cream Catalan which is so yummy especially
with the glassy Caramel sauce on top.
Overall, our La Barra jaunt is one happy food journey. The
service is superb! The two owners are very friendly, courteous, and very
knowledgeable of the food in the menu. The owner is very nice.
