Tapella - Greenbelt 5

Alan seems to be my only fan for food reviews blogs as he is making me do it all the time. So, here we go.

Disappointing experience i must say for a Tapas and Paella place. We started with a slightly interesting dish that was serrano ham and cheese in phyllo pastry. Very light and had good flavor. We thought, we were off to a good start. Unfortunately that turned out to the peak. The following dishes are not even really worth writing about, so i'm going to summarize.

Camembert sandwich - uninspired and the caramelized onions were a little overpowering
Some meat and garlic chips sandwich - meat was tough and tasteless and garlic chips were just sauteed chopped garlic(i know, so lame)
Moroccan Chicken Skewers - again uninspired though not dried out which is a good thing.
Mushroom croquette - uninspiring mushy insides though had a nice crispy coat.

Lastly - seriously, it took so much longer to get the paella, it almost got me tingly from waiting. However, my black squid paella again missed it mark by a long way. It's not horrible but it really was nothing special at all.

This was not a cheap and cheerful place and i certainly expected a little better food than what we got today. Won't go back for sure!
