La Bodega Wine + Tapas

Ucok Lubis

I found out about this place a couple of days back, and upon coming house from Manila, I needed to try it away. The ambience is excellent -- dim lights, hot tones of bricks and wooden, and cozy desk setting. We ordered Chimichurri poultry, Beef Salpicao, PaellaNegra, and wine. The Paella was ok, but also for the price, I believe it would have already been better if it had more ingredients inside it, rather than just rice, squid ink, 3 bits of shrimp, and some clams -- however the flavor was good, also it went well with the lemon it had been served with. The beef salpicao and the chimichurri chicken, however, were a disappointment; I had been told that the meal of every dish was best for two individuals, but in all honesty even 1 individual would still think it is insufficient. These were served in little bowls, to get a concept. The flavor was okay I assume, just your usual things, but we had been expecting a far more generous meal for the amount of cash we were spending money on. Will probably be back again here, but would simply get the wine and perhaps the paella.

Found this place quite unintentionally. It's behind Al Bacio eating place & Milano's Bakery in a leafy lane off Don Juico avenue. It's cosy and decoration is befitting a Wines & Tapas bar. They will have a fair collection of wines - even more reds thanwhites but only 1 reddish colored (cab sauv) and something white (a blend?) obtainable by the glass. I'd have liked to use more styles however the Chilean Borsao Joven we'd was very enjoyable Tapas menu was different. We'd cheese board (3 various varieties of cheese - all great) and poultry liver pate' was superb. It was a nice surprise to get this in Angeles.
