Food<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hola Bomb\u00f3n’s menu range from finger food such as\u00a0pintxos<\/em> and tapas<\/em>\u00a0to full meals with their platos<\/em> and paellas<\/em>. They aim to present Spanish food in a young manner without compromising its similarities with Filipino cuisine.<\/p>\n

If you’re just out drinking and need something to accompany your cocktail at hand, try their Foie (Php 355)<\/strong>, a mouthwatering little package made with seared foie gras, mango jam, and green mango.<\/p>\n

You’re also in for a flavor trip with a serving of their Jam\u00f3n (Php 155)<\/strong> composed of jam\u00f3n serrano, cream cheese, quail eggs, and shallots. Of course, both of these can also be ordered as starters for your meal.<\/p>\n

While you’re at it, revel at Hola Bomb\u00f3n’s well-thought interiors inspired by the Art Deco Style with a dash of Spanish-era colonial architecture. Its vibrant red and yellow fixtures and geometric shapes tell so much about the place, and to some extent its owners’, identity.<\/p>\n
