[CLOSED] Boca

The cod fish was salty and firm, nothing like what we usually have here. It was a new dining experience for me but I will not try it again, especially with this price tag of $38++ 😮.
It goes the same for the other 2 main courses, prices were too steep.
I like their authentic Portugese egg tarts (according to the boss) though, really delish!

This stewed bread porridge had a wee bit of bite to it, while ensuring that all of the prawn broth was melded together with the carbs and spices. The prawns were well-cooked and the dish was well-seasoned. The portion was quite large and very filling, while the flavour from the prawn stock gave the dish a definite richness. A definite must-order when here!

This codfish dish, or also known as, Bacalhau, is quite sinfully delightful. Saltier than usual, at the request of my Brazilian Friend, he declared that this is the proper way of having this dish, salty, firm and utterly flaky, it's almost cured but not quite there. Hidden beneath are the baby spinach and baby potatoes, sautéed to perfection and matching well.

So if you think the meatballs are the bomb, then you have to try the fish meat dish.
Pastel de bacalhau (cod fish meat), is so dense and definitely heavily flavoured that it taste like the sea. Fret not, there is nothing flour-like in the mix, making this jammed pack with goodness, which is what it should be. Deep-fried but not oily at all, it is definitely a great start to a good heavily salt-laden meal. But all is good, when you order their house wine (personally chosen by the owner and air-flown from Portugal).

This is a must try if you're visiting Boca—even though that might just be my love for clams speaking. The serving portion was really generous leaving grins on our faces and this was just the start of our meal. More to the lemony, light sauce side rather than buttery, thick sauce. No preference for the type of sauce really, but the lemon does help to cut through the seafood taste.

Bolinho de carne (meat croquettes); the huge deep fried meatballs are so dense, compact and intense that it's almost like having something "bread" like, and doughy. Heavy on spices and salt, this savoury starter is well-like by many Brazilians and Portugueses.
Please note, that if you don't ask for the proper way of preparing and making the food, the restaurant usually prepare the food for suited for the "Singaporean" tastebuds, lighter and less in flavour.
