Tapas

Swapped out the quinoa salad for a refreshing gazpacho (only item that came in individual portion from the set). Good way to start the meal with this cold soup full of ripe, summery flavors!

Next dish was the Spanish broken omelette, creamy scrambled eggs with Spanish chorizo sausage and manchego cheese with juicy burst from the cherry tomatoes.

The crispy skin barramundi was well cooked and moist. Paired well with grilled vegetables with an added touch of sweetness from the piquillo aioli.

What stole the show that night was the valenciana paella which came with the perfect socarrat, delicious chicken chunks and a dollop of garlic aioli.

Next, we had the grilled Spanish pork, which was a little tough. It came with green salad and lentil stew.

We ended the meal with chestnut mousse tart topped with chocolate ganache and vanilla cream.

Good value despite some hits and misses! I definitely had a better experience with their ala carte menu.

Amazing dining experience at this playful and bold mod sin izakaya taking inspiration from asian local flavors. They have a pretty extensive list of small and medium plates and cocktails inspired by the origins of our 5 pillars - indian, chinese, malay and Peranakan/Eurasian. 3 of us shared 4 small plates and 3 medium plates We were impressed (mostly yes) with everything we ordered and another trip is highly necessary to try the rest of the menu!

1. Har Cheong Pork Belly [$8.90] - Thinly sliced pork belly marinated with fermented prawn paste and fried to a crisp. Comes with Kafir lime aioli. Be warned, highly addictive!

2. Tandoori Beef papadum nachos [$8.50] - crispy papadum comes with tandoori beef mince, yoghurt and cheese sauce!

3. Iberico secreto satay [$10.80] I always have a soft spot for satay, and this one is not to be missed! Very well seasoned iberico pork, comes with Javanese satay sauce and a very refreshing pineapple salsa. Bingo!

4. “Orh luak” oyster omelette spaghettini [$20] If you like oyster omelette, you should try this! Comes with juicy plump oysters, with some extra heat from the spicy dried shrimp chili.

5. “La zi Ji” popcorn chicken [$8] Another must order! The Szechuan peppercorn was extremely tantalizing on those golden brown crispy chicken thigh chunks. I’ll say this version is even better than some chinese restaurants I have been to.

6. Miso spring onion 3 cheese spring onion prata pizza [$13.80] Not the most outstanding dish of the night. I guess it’s just cheese on very crispy prata 😂

7. Aburaage Rojak salad [$12.80] Super interesting dish that takes the classic rojak to the next level! This version comes with aburaage (fried Japanese tofu), tiger prawn, jicama, mango topped with bonito flakes. The best part would have been to be the hae gor (prawn paste) ice cream with grated ginger torch flower. Love love the punchy rich prawn essence encapsulated in a creamy milky cold version. Amazing! Could eat that on its own 😋

8. Deep fried Matcha latte [$8] - deep fried matcha milk cubes, comes with whipped adzuki. Not bad!

9. Chendol [$8.50] - pandan panna cotta, house made honeycomb, gula melaka and coconut ice cream. A tad sweet though no better way to end the delicious meal.

Found a happy place! Huge teddy bears all over the restaurant to lighten up the mood, in hope of cheering us up, at the same time serving their purpose to maintain safe distance between tables 🐻❤️🙆🏻

Insides of an omelette

Damn satisfying half portion of Josper® grilled Spanish pork ribs. Legit👍🏻 Served with mustard and BBQ sauce.

Not quite the toasty, crispy, golden crust on the bottom (Soccarat), but nevertheless it was tasty and brimming with traditional Spanish flavors. Love how the prawns, chopped peppers, peas and chorizo justify their place in the pan as flavor lenders.

Unforgettable tapas of the night. We were given an option for a thoroughly cooked omelette or to have it flowy gooey style. Obviously, it was a no brainer❤️

Homemade Spanish Croquettes with creamy filling of chicken and pork ham, breaded & fried to a crisp brown perfection

Red sangria, a necessity in basque times 😁 with red wine, orange juice and triple sec

The rosemary was lighted when it came! Love that smoky element on the tender juicy chicken thigh. Insanely flavorful, definitely tasted a lot better than it looks! Go for it!

Not as flavorful as some other versions I’d had before from other places, lacking in that richness from the taste of crustaceans. And the prawns are not the juicy yet crunchy type. For this price, you are better off with other items on the menu!

The breading on the cutlet was quite nicely done, just a tad greasy but the pork was definitely on the dry side with no sauce to salvage 😭
