This is a quaint little place whose menu revolves around their three main paella dishes - negra,…read morevalenciana, and lechon. Paella Negra is all about its squid component, hence the black color while the lechon version, as the name suggests, highlights the Cebuano favorite as it's center. The valenciana, on the other hand, has mixed seafood in it. So far, I have tried paella negra and valenciana and both are so damn good. Although I forgot to note the price of each, valenciana is the most expensive of the three varieties, at P148 for the solo meal (no drinks). If you're with a group, they also have a choice of going for a bigger serving than a solo as you could go for the bigger platter that is good for 2-3 persons or the biggest, which is good for 4-5 persons. As there is not much on the menu other than these paella dishes and some sides, it's very nice of them to allow food to be brought in from outside at no extra charge and no fuss. I was with a friend who didn't feel like having paella at that time so he ended up buying a takeout from a nearby restaurant and eating it with me at the Hala Paella. So far, my experience with their dishes has been amazing and I'll definitely go back again and again. On a side note, they used to have a stall at the Sugbo Mercado in IT Park but I haven't seen them there this week.

First impressions, you get that cozy hole in the wall feel since its basically a kiosk with walls…read more There is indoor and outdoor seating. You walk in and they have Spanish music playing and a display of the available paella combjnations. The display looks great ans decor is festive. I went with the chicken and chorizo paella, lengua, and churros for dessert. The flavors are there for the paella, the lengua gravy tasted commonplace borderline like jollibee gravy. the churros were good though slightly undercooked imho, but at least did not taste greasy or soaked in oil. the chocolate dip was really good and i would order everything again but maybe try the different paellas.

The tapas are yummy with good flavors. We ordered chorizo which came out hot. Also ordered the…read morecroquetas with potato and jamon, steak, and octopus. I especially liked the sisig which was hot in the cast iron pan. The service was attentive and they have a nice red wine to accompany the food.

Very delicious meal! I did a little solo date midday at an awkward hour so the restaurant was…read morebasically empty when I came in. I indulged since I was on vacation and saw it was michelin bib gourmand recognized by having a lychee martini (fantastic!), roasted carrots, octopus, gnocchi, pork belly entree, and the mango soufflé for dessert. All the food was splendid and I was surprised at how filling most of them were. My only caveat was that the octopus could have been cooked a bit more to be softer to bite into. The restrooms are within the office building around the corner, so not in the restaurant as an fyi. Excellent service all around.

Our very first meal in Siquijor! Hands down very fresh food and really showcased the fresh…read morevegetables and flavors of Siquijor. We ordered veggie rolls, law-uy, and an eggplant salad, from what I can remember. The most memorable item for me had to be the law-uy. Law-uy is a soup loaded with veggies and with a lovely broth flavored by aromatics of lemongrass and ginger. I loved how the broth was very clear and crisp and it was definitely a mouth cleanser. Every veggie was crisp and cooked to perfection. The ambiance of the place was really nice, we got there around opening time and it was very homey and warm. We took off our shoes and the wood floor was nice. The staff were all attentive. Ended with some chocolate ice cream to hit the spot. If you're ever in Siquijor, definitely check this place out!
