Our night at Rustico was full of surprises! It was my first time to try the traditional Catalan dish - Charcoal grilled #Calçots 西班牙大蔥. Honestly, I didn’t expect much when I first saw the charred spring onion. We were asked to tilt our head back, open our mouth wide and slowly drop the white Calçot. The Calçot was exceptionally sweet! People in Catalonia even celebrate the harvest of Calçot every year!
Another surprising dish is the Rustic toast with tomato, garlic, seasalts and olive oil. I never thought that I will praise a toast. I am not a fan of olive oil but this combination is perfect and the toast was very crispy.
If you are a seafood lover, go for the Jumbo Prawn 烤燒珍寶大蝦 , which was nicely butterflied and grilled. It was very meaty, perfect when served with 🍋
Don’t forget to order a #Paella 西班牙黑毛豬海鮮飯 🥘 in a Spanish restaurant !
We ended our day with our breakfast (Yes! Breakfast at 10pm) Interesting fact: Churro is actually eaten as breakfast in Spain! I hope I am not the only one who doesn’t know about this...
I was so surprised to find such a lovely restaurant in Lai Chi Kok, an industrial area in HK. Highly recommend you to visit Rustico for a relaxing night! Grilled calçot is a seasonal dish, the menu is only available until 14 April! 2 weeks to go!
I must need to say a big thank you to Mr. Alvarez for teaching us so much about the culture of Spain! Gracias!
