(Repost): #TapasBonanza & Win a Trip to Hong Kong for 2!

Culinary Bonanza just hit 1 million page views and I humbly would like to extend a gazillion thanks to YOU, YOU and YOU! This blog would not have continued this long and this far without your unrelenting support and readership.

So, to commemorate this milestone, I'm making a special contest, in which I'm going to select 1 winner to go on a #HipsterTravels Trip to Hong Kong with me! Imagine all the hipster things that we would do in HK: hipster-café hopping, bargain hunting in Mongkok, dine at some of the best restaurants in Asia (Michelin Stars, World’s 50 Best, you name it!), go trekking up The Peak or simply eat the best wonton noodles in Hong Kong. There will be no itinerary and no schedule to follow, just explore Hong Kong to our heart’s content!

Other than to participate in #TapasBonanza contest, there are just so many more reasons as to why you should not miss Tapas Movida from your to-go restaurants list. Firstly, there are not many Spanish restaurants in Jakarta, so when people ask me which Spanish restaurant I would recommend, I would only mention 1 name, Tapas Movida. Call me biased whatsoever, but I have my choice set on a stone when it comes to this.

Grab this chance while there's still plenty of time!

Tapas Movida started its chapter in 2011 (it’s the same year I started blogging!) in Cipete, South Jakarta and has since amassed loyal customers from far and wide, expats and locals alike. The place may not look much from the outside, but it is the food that speaks to the hearts and tummies. Tapas Movida’s  original, unadulterated Spanish recipes by Spanish Manuel Verdaguer and Co-owner Riz Bastian. And for the type of food they serve, the price is absolutely reasonable, even compared to its direct competitors. No wonder Tapas Movida consistently snatched the Best Spanish Restaurant title in Now! Jakarta’s annual Best Restaurant, Bar & Café Awards

Take a tour around the place...

Previously I have sampled a sumptuous and large feast at Tapas Movida’s other restaurant at CITOS (now closed), so I can vouch for the food here. The menu is a bunch of tongue twisters, but lucky there’s English description of the ingredients of each dishes. While I may not be able to visualize what they would actually look like, somehow I can imagine mouthwatering dishes just from reading the elements of the dishes.

Sangria

Left: Strawberry Margarita IDR 55,000
Right: Huevo Escoces - scotch egg IDR 25,000

Ensalada de Manzana - broccoli, apple & bacon salad IDR 65,000

Left: Paella
Right: Rollo de Huevo - avocado & salsa egg roll with cilantro dressing IDR 20,000

Paella y Chorizo - chicken & chorizo paella IDR 250,000 (for 2)

Kebab de Pollo - honey BBQ bacon & chicken kebabs with raita IDR 45,000

 Pollo Marinado ala Curry - Spicy marinated chicken with a cheddar cheese yoghurt IDR 25,000

Champinones al ajillo y jamon salada - ham, buttered potatoes, manchego & garlic mushrooms IDR 25,000

Some of you might think that Spanish food is alien and might not suit your palate. But let me tell you this, Spanish food is in fact, just as universal and palatable as Italian food, which has gained more exposure here and could be seen anywhere literally, from school canteens to the fine dining restaurants. So, there's no reason to not try the sort of delectable Spanish food like what I've shown you in the above photos!
