Tapas at Just-a-Restaurant

Went here to celebrate a friends birthday and it was nice that they arranged a big table.
It was a Saturday so there was free Sangria even if you just order one tapas dish.

We started with tapas followed by paella and roast suckling pig.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tomato, onion and white anchovies on toast:

The highlight of the toast was the white achovies because they were really soaked in vinegar.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Serrano ham, tomato on toast:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spanish cold cuts platter:
(Serrano ham, chorizo, olive and Manchego cheese).

My favourites had to be the cheese and olives.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chili garlic prawns:

Springy prawns with aromatic crispy garlic.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chorizo with green apple:

I don't normally like chorizo but this was worth trying because they are thin slices with pickled apple slices that balance the salty chorizo nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pacific manila clams with white wine cream sauce:

I was expecting a creamy sauce but it had a strong wine taste with lots of asparagus.
The clams were bursting with white wine sauce so it was really tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spanish octopus in garlic olive oil:

The octopus was springy with lovely olive oil and garlic flavouring.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baked New Zealand oysters with onion and bacon:

didn't try this.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled king prawn seafood paella:


As a carbs lover, the rice was tasty because it has absorbed all the seafood flavours with a hint of tomato.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pan fried Chilean seabass:

The fish was silky and chunky and just tasted like cod.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast suckling pig:

The skin was crispy and the meat beneath it was tender.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Jar banoffee pie:

The banoffee was loaded with banana infused cream which tasted natrual.
