Don't live on surprised if y'all could non locate the primary entrance to De Paella, equally the Castilian eating theatre is housed inside the two-storey pre-war heritage household along Lebuh Melayu. The restaurant's on the minute floor, the start floor's occupied with a Chinese Steamboat Restaurant- Little Yong Sing Hot Pot. Push opened upwards the doors in addition to y'all volition welcomed past times a server, if y'all wishing to dine inwards De Paella, y'all volition live on escorted through the narrow path correct beside the restaurant. Traipse yourself upwards the flying of stairs in addition to y'all volition detect De Paella there. The soft but warm lighting seems to accept ready the note perfectly but the distance betwixt tables is also near. On the menu, it features simply about of the classic Castilian items similar Paella, Octopus in addition to Clams but the offerings are limited. We works life nigh pleasance inwards the Paella.
Castilian Paella (Rm 75.99/ serves 3)
De Paella resembles the advert "Paella" in addition to then that would in all likelihood advise the confidence marking inwards serving Paella. True enough, their Paella did run into our expectation. In fact, nosotros idea it was the greatest version that nosotros accept e'er had! H5N1 must-order dish at De Paella.
The Castilian Seafood Rice was served inwards the criterion pot in addition to covered with all the lovely Seafood. The Rice was expertly cooked, every unmarried seize with teeth of it possesses the al-dente texture, with a slightly uncooked characteristic inwards the middle of the Rice. The Seafood was fresh in addition to succulent, the best part... they were perfectly cooked to the correct doneness. We squeezed simply about fresh Lemon over the Paella in addition to started to relish those nigh the edges... for the golden-brown fragile crust that nosotros could possible scrape (from the sides of the pan). Every oral cavity was a outburst of the Seafood essence. We can't larn plenty of the Paella in addition to idea that the part was rather inadequate (for iii diners).

Pulpo H5N1 La Gallega/ Slow-cooked Octopus (Rm 17.99)
Tortilla Espanola/ Castilian Omelette (Rm 10.99)
Almejas Al Vino Blanco/ Clams cooked inwards Green Sauce in addition to White Wine (Rm 18.99)
We had a few of their Castilian Tapas earlier our actual primary in addition to alongside the orders, Almejas Al Vino Blanco stood out. It has simply about Asian twist, peculiarly the Lemongrass in addition to Bird's Eye Chilies but the overall season combination was a winner. There were many elements vying for attending (ie: Garlic, Basil in addition to Lemongrass) but the overall packet was comforting in addition to toothsome. Our alone electrical load for the dish? H5N1 tad also greasy to our liking.
Pulpo H5N1 La Gallega was alright, the Octopus was tender but it barely registered whatever flavor. The overall impression was... elusive. Tortilla Espanola was disappointingly average. It lacked of the salinity or the fact that the dish was mere Potato with Egg, the line cistron was weak for us. Unless necessary, we'd recommend to skip the Tapas in addition to become conduct to their Paella.

Chocolate Truffles (Rm 12.99)
Some of De Paella's signature desserts were non available on our view in addition to then nosotros had to settle for their Chocolate Truffles. The chocolaty-creamy Truffles were served with simply about tangy Lime froth, the acidity counter-balanced the sweetness of the Chocolate. The sweetness ending was dramatic but given they come upwards inwards hefty toll tag, nosotros are unsure if nosotros would club again....
