Alba Restaurante Español Makati

Last June 23, the bi-eep had his 24th birthday and we went to Alba Polaris to celebrate and indulge in our common favorite -- PAELLA! (Haha. You probably got tired of reading paella over and over again on my posts.) :P


The first time we went to Alba, it was unfortunate that we didn't have our cameras with us. Though cameraless or not, the food at Alba never fails.



Alba's facade has this very homey feeling.
When we got there around 5 in the afternoon, almost all of the table already had reserved signs on them. Good thing there were still a few tables available for walk-ins.




They always serve complimentary bread + anchor butter. :) I loved that they served the bread hot this time.


Watermelon Shake and Alba's Iced Tea.


My favorite soup: Sopa de Mariscos/ Seafood Soup (P160) -- Very flavorful and a generous mix of seafoods in a very tasty broth. *nomnomnom*


Almejas al Horno/ Baked Clams (P180) -- This one was also very good. The saltiness removed the seafood stench or 'lansa' from the clams.


And of course, how could this one be missed? Paella Valenciana (P450) -- an all-time favorite at Alba's and they are really famous for their paella. They lived up to their reputation of having the best paella.

We also had Lengua and I forgot the other one, wasn't able to taste them anymore because I was too full from the paella. Haha.


The bi-eep with his parents. O hai tito & tita. :D Belated Happy Birthday love!


See you again very soon Alba!! ;)
