Mouthwatering Food - HAM & EGGS: Spanish

Previously, a review has been done on the La Bodega Deli. So for this particular posting, it is about the other Brand “La Bodega” which located in Bangsar Shopping Centre. Most notable, this branch is set at the main entrance to the Bangsar Shopping Centre. La Bodega @ BSC is the ambassador to its big sister down the road in Bangsar Baru. In here, they offer the signature “Tapas” menu together with the sumptuous addition of the most popular picks from the La Bodega Deli menu.

Tapas is the name of a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or warm (such as puntillitas, which are battered, fried baby squid). In many countries, tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine. Patrons in La Bodega can order many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal.

For Tapas, you can try the “Champinones Al Ajillo” which is button mushrooms sautéed in olive oil and garlic. The taste is buttery and tangy.

“Gambas Paco Alcalde” is prawns in an “Andalusia style” spicy garlic & tomato sauce. The prawns are fresh and unique in taste. Patrons surely would ask for more (Delicious!).

Spaghetti ala Polpette De Pollo, is quite a good dish. The chef uses chicken to make fine meatballs and then braised in tomato.

Penne Chicken Pasta is for patrons that like to eat spicy tomato sauce. Overall, it is tasty.

The Brand “La Bodega” has been responsible for introducing thousands of KL patrons to authentic tapas culture since the first outlet opened its doors in 1999. Although La Bodega has since expanded to include a bistro style Dining Room, as well as a Deli and the infamous Lounge, it continues as a faithful ambassador to the Spanish culinary tradition. In La Bodega Deli, the quiet, casual atmosphere, great service, and small, comfortable dining area make La Bodega Deli a great stop for a quick, yet quality bite.

Every morning, patrons can smell the aroma of freshly baked croissants at this European style delicatessen by ordering the magnificent all day breakfast menu. This deli is a perfect place to get some really fresh and fantastic omelet’s, salads and sandwiches, excellent burgers and pastas, with some great coffee and tea. Their famous “Big Breakfast” is a must-try item, with grilled chicken sausages, crisp beef bacon, baked beans, grilled tomato, sautéed mushroom, a slice of toast and a choice of eggs that are served as omelet, scrambled or poached (scrumptious, way better than New York New York Deli……).

Besides the "Big Breakfast", patrons can opt for another choice, the "English Breakfast" which comes with Hash Brown, Crisp Beef Bacon and eggs......yum yum...

The Linguini Alferdo with Turkey Ham and mushrooms in Cream Sauce. It is quite tasty and with crispy turkey ham garnish on top of the pasta, it giving patrons wanting it more.

Point to note, for convenience to patrons, both food and beverage menus have been designed to give patrons the flexibility to enjoy the food within the establishment or to take-away. However, it is a bit pricey.
