Bomba one evening for a get-together and first up, we were slapped with a timing restriction: table was only available from 630 – 815pm. Yet when we arrived, the place was hardly as packed as the reservations suggest.
Replacing Graze at Martin's road, here's counters for people watching.
Plates for sharing dishes.
A decently filled menu.
Fruit drinks clearly out of a can - cloudy apple anyone?
Iberico Ham Croquettas (3pcs, $12)
These oily breaded balls are nothing to shout about – creamy filling with iberico ham bits.
Spicy Watercress, Chorizo and Pear ($14)
Clams ($20)
Fresh marinated anchovies with olive oil, xeres vinegar and parsley ($19)
The bomb, with granulated potao and tender as can be octopus slices. Possibly one of the better octopus appetizers for Spanish Tapas in Singapore!
Catch of the day ($42)
This promptly was crossed out from the chalk board of daily specials after we ordered it. I fancied it little with the fishyness seeping into every bite and well, the slices of lemon and herbs hardly lifted the taste.
Front and Back Leg and Rib ($60)
Langoustine Squid and Prawns Paella ($80)
Another that waives service charge, loving that bit of it!
Bomba is a paella bar and aptly positioned so – their other Spanish signatures are hardly as hit as the paella is.

Wow that suckling pig dish looks horrible! Most of the dish is the head.. i would have sent that back!
ReplyDelete@anon: sigh yes, the worst bang of the buck. awful attempt.
ReplyDeleteI liked the paella, though I found it a tad salty and heavy, prefer something even lighter in touch.
ReplyDelete@daniel's food diary: heh, yeah admittedly really strong and definitely too much if eaten alone. :) Yet, one of the better ones around!
