The second dish, Lychee Tomatoes, is not a new type of tomato. Rather, it is prepared by marinating peeled cherry tomatoes in lychee juice, making it a refreshing summer snack.

"Lychees are my favorite food in China, but they're not very common in Spain," says Prats. "So, I used this technique to change the flavor of the tomatoes."

Pig Bite is another signature tapa by Prats.

It's small bits of roasted suckling pig put on corn crackers with smashed avocado and cranberry jam underneath.

The crispy pig skin and the crackers sandwich the tender pork.

If those dishes don't satisfy the stomach, you can order Spanish seafood rice ($42 for two people) or Australian ribeye steak ($57 for 350 grams).

For dessert, I had a Pina Colada, a white chocolate pudding named after a cocktail.

A pineapple capsule, a coconut marshmallow, almond flakes and mango jelly constitute the different layers of the "cocktail" pudding.

"I like to put food with different textures and flavors together," says Prats. "It's about the balance of different textures and tastes.

"Parents always tell us not to play with your food, but here you can play with different ingredients to get your own creative bite," he says.
