Sunday Spanish Brunch at Alibi, Cordis Hong Kong

Thank you for having our little family over for brunch, Alibi! We had a great time, which you can see from OB's chocolate smeared face.

It's a semi buffet brunch. The buffet serves a great variety of food. We like!

First, charcuterie and cheese.


Ahem, carbs.... which I can eat on weekends. Thank God.


Of course, OB had to do the lightsaber pose with the bread stick...

He enjoyed the charcuterie very much.

We had lotss of oysters.


So many things to choose from, we almost did not have space to try everything.




Seafood paella.


Cheesy toastie sandwiches. Yum!


Slow roasted suckling pig.


Crab claw!


And my favorite, crispy Spanish anchovies!


You can choose to have free flow make-your-own sangria and fruit punch.


Or choose to have free flow champagne.

Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut. I am not really a champagne person, but I do enjoy a bit from time to time ;)

We had a sweet OB & papa moment.

Cheers!

Nom nom nom.


OB munching on crispy anchovies.

We ordered 2 main courses. Grilled USDA rib eye served with salsa verde.

Nicely cooked, we like!

And roasted French spring chicken served with polenta fries (love!), broccolini, port and pepper jus.


After that. Cheesy time!


And then the sweets.


Dulce de leche cheesecake.


Crema Catalana.


Apple Frangipane tart.


And of course, churros!


And this was bound to happen.

Who wants chocolate hugs and kisses from OB? Hehehe

I don't know anything about authenticity - whether or not the flavors of the food served here are the same as the ones in Spain... dadadada gaga oh lala - but most of these dishes are yummy.

Green asparagus with black truffle, and soft boiled egg. Scrumptious.


Suckling pig tapa. Crispy skin on both sides. We love it.


Jamon Iberico croquette. Crispy exterior, creamy and tasty interior. Adore!


Squid ink black rice with red prawn carpaccio and red prawn essence. Very intense prawn flavor. I love it.


Cod fritters. Perfectly done. Crispy outside, creamy and tasty inside. They are really good at doing deep fried stuff.


Calamari Andalusian style with lemon mayo. This one is a "meh" for me.


Ham, cheese and truffle bikini. They're alright...


Scrambled egg on a potato bed with chorizo. Tasty.


Bombas from Barceloneta. Another tasty deep fried treat.


Prime natural beef rib eye 400gr. Absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked, tender & tasty with really really lovely sauce. I love it.


Spanish paella - pork belly, clams, mussels with scampi. It's alright, quite tasty, but didn't blow my socks off. I want a bit of crust, and some of the seafood's not well done - the scampi flesh was rather crumbly...

The sweets...

Cheese flan. Nice, subtle.


Torrija, soft and sweet warm bread with smoked milk ice cream. Many of us wanted this because of the "smoked milk" - no smokiness came through but I do adore that charred bread with soft center.


This is very chocolatey, with a big kick of sourness of something passion fruit that shocked us. Can't help it though... I always order chocolate T_T

Overall, I would totally go back for my favorite dishes.
The 6 of us spent HK$470 per person (we didn't order drinks).
