There are many other items on La Cocina’s menu that we have yet to try, but I’m looking forward to it the next time I’m in Taipan; especially the paellas. Service is friendly, and although prices are above average, they are competitive in comparison with some of the higher-end Spanish restaurants.
Overall, although a bit oily, else it was not bad.
La Cocina is a Spanish term for “The Kitchen” or “Art of Cooking”, under the Head-Chef/Managaing Direct Mr. Jeganathan; it has been serving Spanish Food at USJ Taipan for more than 10 years.
My personal favourite was the croquettes as it was minced mussels and prawns patted down into a mussel shell before it was fried.
Our meal at La Cocina starts with a few delectable Tapas (Appetizers). Lamb Meatballs (Albondigas de Cordero) RM23.90 is an original recipe in La Cocina, Spanish Lamb Meatballs with herbs served in tomato sauce. Meatballs taste rich and mellow, unlike any common meatballs that meant to be chewy. The leftover well-spiced tomato sauces are best to dip with the complimentary bread slices to clear the whole dish up.
