Movida Aqui - It's a Spanish delight

Movida Aqui is a really good tapas restaurant.  I especially love their specials because the dishes are unpredictable and interesting. First time they had calve's liver which I did not regret ordering.  2nd time they had an interesting pork and paprika sausage ($18.50) that tasted very much like a chorizo.
I ordered the bomba ($4) both visits and it was delicious.  Deep fried potato balls stuffed with spicy meat and topped with a nice curry gravy. Yum. We ordered a prawn dish to share too ($24). Prawns were cooked just right with a tomato amd meat sauce.
The desserts are worth a mention. Tried the trifle ($14) and loved it because it was not too sweet. There was a balance of sweet and sour, enhanced with caramelised macadamia nuts for that crunch.
My friend had the dessert special of a cold soup with watermelon slice and chantilly ($10). Will go again and again. ..good idea to make reservations as it gets busy quite quickly at lunch time.
