Appetisers
1) Spanish Octopus ❤
-this was the better dish out of the two. The octopus was surprisingly very tender and flavourful (tho we find it a little too salty). The grilled baby potatoes had a very nice creamy and dense texture.
2) Grilled summer vegetables with hummus (a little too salty)

Mains:
1) Rib eye steak
-They did the done-ness till perfection😊 so yeapss
2) Barramundi with Ratatouille and mussels.
-The barramundi was of premium quality and i really love the firm flakes. It really complemented well with the slight tangy ratatoulie sauce

Dessert:
1) Not your usual tiramisu❤
-This deconstructed was the better out of the two. I love the dark chocolate cake (i supposed it is a cake??) as it was dense, bitter and not too sweet :)
2) Key Lime Meringue
-Chose this as the staff told me it was the least sweet option. It was light and the slight sour accent of the lime was very appetizing. But i find it a little too sweet (i guess its the meringue). However, its still quite nice. I like how we chose one heavy dessert and one light dessert because they really complement well😊 we didnt feel too jelat ======
Overall we felt that the food was good. Not mind-blowingly fantastic but was above average. The service was the main highlight. The staff were very attentive and the service they provide was really the best we had (even more pricey or atas restaurants didnt had such good service). Ratings: 8/10 (its worth with burpple 1-for-1)

No go
Can go
Must go😊 (if you have burpple 1-for -1 then yeaps its affordable)

Decided to try the 3-Course Set ($60) at Porta as there is an one-for-one deal on Burpple Beyond:) The set comprised of your choice of appetiser, mains and dessert, and every dish was surprisingly good! For appetiser, we had Spanish Octopus, Spicy Salmon Tartare and Prawn and Avocado. The spicy salmon tartare was refreshing and tasty. For mains, we had Prawn and Chorizo Linguine, Iberian Pork Secreto and Rib Eye Steak. The steak was super soft and juicy, love it! The tender Iberian pork shoulder is drizzled in a sweet and tangy sauce and served with creamy mash and cherry tomatoes. We ended dinner with a moderately sweet treat of Spiced Apple Tarte Tatin and a deconstructed Tiramisu. This is my first time to Porta and I’m pretty impressed with their food and service😍!

The linguine was supposedly one of the recommended dishes here but the entire dish was way too salty. The chorizo is already salty on this own and it didn’t help that it was served in huge chunks and unevenly distributed throughout the pasta. The capers added in didn’t help either. However the prawns were fresh and they were generous with the serving size.

A deconstructed taste tartin of sorts topped with what tasted like whisky glazed bacon and the whole savory-sweet combination worked really well. The pastry was exceptionally flaky and buttery but I felt the spiced apples were slightly overpowering.

Ordered the 3 course set under Burpple Beyond and this main was pretty good. The pork was cooked to a medium well and was sufficiently fatty and juicy. The accompanying mash was tasty too with the mixed in mustard giving it a slight heat.

We had four 3 course set meals for the price of 2 (courtesy of burpple beyond) and it was so worth it. I loved the unique desserts and the octopus appetiser was amazing! Super tender octopus 😋
