Crepe filled with orange cream cheese and hazelnut cream (Filloas Dulces Naranja). After finishing our main meals and tapas, we ordered the crepe as dessert. The crepe was folded in a triangle shape and flooded with hazelnut cream sauce. The sauce was not strong flavour and it was sweet. The crepe however was filled with surprise – orange cream cheese fillings. It made the crepe tangy and sour.

Cordero Paella. Since Spanish is famous for its paella, we ordered the cordero paella. It is aspanish saffron rice with tender leg of lamb pieces, marinated with herbs and vegetables. I was anticipating for this dish as this is the first time I try paella. The paella was served in a wok and we squeezed some lemon juice onto the rice. The rice was nicely done, not too hard but it was quite salty. The lamb was tender too. Not bad actually.

Fresh button mushrooms (Champignones Al Ajillo). This dish is fresh button mushroom sautéed with garlic onion, herbs and olive oil. It came in a small plate but filled to the brim. The sautéed sauce was strong with flavours of garlic and onions, which I like. The button mushrooms were big and juicy. It was not too salty and can eaten without dipping with bread. I hope the sauce could be thicker though.

Baked escargots (Cabrillas y Caracoles). Once I spotted escargots in the menu, without hesitating, I ordered it. It is a dish of snails cooked with garlic, herb butter and cream. When it arrived, I could not smell the usual strong garlic cheesy smell, I was slightly taken aback. After I took a bite of the escargots and the sauce, I was quite disappointed because the sauce was slightly lack luster, not strong enough for my liking.

I usually will try at least one pasta of a restaurant that I visit. I was looking at the menu and found this Chef's Special - Saffron Linguini RM28.90++. Saffron is said to be the most expensive spice in the world. I was attracted by the name and so I ordered this. Not exaggerating, this can be considered as one of the best pasta that I have ever tasted, I will mark it at least 4.5/5 in terms of taste, freshness of the seafood. This pasta comes with a large prawn, 2 fresh mussels, squids , fish

This dish was introduced by the friendly staff, and indeed, it's very nice. There are 2 skewers of chicken cubes skewed with other vegetables like capsicums, carrots and some other vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions and etc served on a hot sizzling plate. Then the staff pour the black pepper sauce of the in front of us, immediately we can smell the aroma of the dish. For those people that don't like black pepper sauce, they also have other choice like Spanish Garlic Cream and Mushroom Sa

La Cocina is located at USJ Taipan. USJ Taipan is a very busy town and full of various delicious food. It is quite hard to spot this restaurant without GPS. Another problem to eat at here is the parking problem. It's hard to get a parking here, so park you car immediately once you see any car park lots. The environment is very nice, with dim lighting, creating a romantic feel for couples, but we come as in a gang of friends, I feel very relax.La Cocina is a Spanish restaurant, and Paella is a ri
