Happy Chinese New Year!!! What better way to start off the lunar new year than with a post of one of my favourite restaurants! =D I'm a big fan of Spanish food and when I saw Estilo at Publika, I told myself I had to try it! It's located outside Publika, near Fat Boy's Burger Bar and I love its quirky decor especially its numerous hand painted ceramic plates.

| Love their artwork |
 |
| Assortment of cute plates |
 |
| My favourite of the lot =) |
 |
| Complimentary bread |
They serve thick toasted bread slices for dipping into their signature creamy, garlicky, buttery aioli. Can't get enough of their bread =P
 |
| Spanish Tortilla (RM 9) |
The thick omelette layered with potatoes and onions was all right but slightly too starchy even for a potato lover like me.
 |
| Patatas Bravas (RM 12) |
Deep fried potatoes are absolutely the best! These have fluffy insides and went well with the Turkey Bacon Aioli which came with a dab of spicy sauce.
 |
| Chorizo (RM 18) |
The paprika chorizos were really flavourful and confit potatoes were absolutely addictive as it's bite sized and slightly crispy on the outside yet mushy on the inside.
 |
| Calamares Fritos (RM 16) |
These deep fried calamari were extremely crispy and done just right. Seems like they love aioli here, don't they?
 |
| Champinones (RM 14) |
The sauteed mushrooms were awesome! The creamy sauce with a splash of wine was extremely good and went really well with bread.
 |
| Pinchos Morunos (RM 20) |
These chargrilled chicken skewers were extremely juicy and tender. The orangey sauce - probably another variation of aioli - was really good too.
 |
| Paella Estilo - Large (RM 102) |
Estillo's signature paella looks awesome and you can literally taste the rich stock coating the rice grains. They were very generous with the amount of chicken, chorizos and green beans which tasted nothing less than wonderful. The garlic and chilli infused olive oil also added another layer of taste on the paella, somewhat like what bird's eye chillies in soy sauce is to noodles.
 |
| Paella Mariscos (RM 58) |
The Paella Mariscos has plenty of fresh mussels, fish, squid, clams and prawns. Similar to Paella Estilos, the rice is extremely flavourful. The single slice of lemon however did not seem sufficient for the entire pan.
 |
| Chorizo and Pineapple Paella Pan Pizza (RM 18) |
I ordered this out of curiosity as I thought it was a Paella PanPizza. Turns out it's a PaellaPan (Normal) Pizza. Its base was the hard yet crispy type and really good. Although pineapples were not evident, its juices definitely seeped into the tomato base and lent it a nice sweet flavour.
I absolutely love the food at Estilo and can't wait to return for more as I only had nibbles of everything =( Surprisingly, it does not serve pork but everything tasted awesome! =D
