La Bodega, Pavilion, KL




My boyfriend is always very positive - minded.

"Come on, darling. You can walk a few steps more. :)" was his reply whenever I started my mantra chanting on how my legs were tired from walking.

It could be, because he is a psychiatrist. Hence the cheery man himself, always stoic, and never seemed to be perturbed by small things in life.

And so, I was handsomely rewarded for being able to walk more than usual that particular day, with a tapas treat :)

At La Bodega, Pavilion.

Bread at La Bodega, Pavilion, KL

 The bread was complimentary. There were soft and fragrant, just, very tasty.

It went very well with patatas bravas: deep fried potatoes seasoned with paprika served alioli and and a dollop of chili sauce. 

The bread was excellent to mop the alioli.

 Oh, and the star of that moment. None other than the calamari fritters.

Perfect. 

Succulent, tender, and crisp on the outside.

I felt as if I was transported to Spain for a while.

Just amazing. :) 

I love the Hoegaarden at La Bodega. 

Unpretentious. No spiking.

Just pure Hoegaarden beer goodness.

Price is a bit steep for the beer, but at least you know you're drinking awesome beer.

I tried at several other eateries, which I do not wish to mention here. I was disappointed at how some people in the F&B industry would do such a thing: to spike the beer. 

Pardon my English. I use the word spike excessively in my wastewater research. Spike literally means mixed.

I am quite an alcoholic myself. I drink quite a lot. To be more precised, I am a single malt drinker.

So if I get drunk after several sips of beer and feel super thirsty thereafter, it could only mean one thing.

And pounding headache the next day.

And kudos to La Bodega! :)

That's why I only order Hoegaarden in La Bodega apart from Hagen Bake and Brew.

By the way, La Bodega serves excellent Paella Valenciana. At RM60+, I rather have it here than to cook paella myself! Save myself from all the troubles, plus. La Bodega serves paella in paella pan.

Authentic as it should be. :)
