[TELOK AYER, SINGAPORE] I'm back again at @amigos.sg for their newly refreshed menu to try some of their dishes and soak in the vibes. While I believe some dishes can be improved, the overall experience was decent.
Let's start with basics with their Fried Barramundi Tacos 🌮 ($18 for 2). Now this was a hit, as the fish fingers were still really crispy, with a meaty, flaky fish meat within. Sauces and condiments complemented the main fish ingredient well, with savoury, tangy flavours going on with a slight kick.
If you need something to share, I would pick their Fried Calamari 🦑 ($16). Each piece was nicely coated with a slightly crispy batter, and the squid within was fresh, has a bite but not chewy at all. I would imagine this being wolfed down within minutes. Their Loaded Nachos 🌽 ($18) unfortunately did not quite deliver, as it was somewhat cold or lukewarm. I was hopefully there was melted cheese as well. Chicken on top did not have much of a taste too!
Their Camaron Quesadillas 🌮 ($14) is of an interesting take, with mango salsa taking quite a front lead in providing sweetness. The cheese and grilled snappy prawns within are savoury. This becomes quite a sweet-savoury combo which my partner likes but I would prefer going for their more savoury options. I can imagine this being divided in opinions!
Drinks are of course important in a bar, and their Frozen Raspberry Magherita 🍸 ($15) and Shirley Temple Mocktail 🍹 ($10) delivered. The Magherita itself did not seem strong, but it kicked it later towards the 2nd half of the meal 😂 Mocktail was really refreshing and I'm glad it was quite a big cup!
In all, food was generally decent, though I wouldn't say really mind blowing. Music was great too. With happy hour promos this can be a place for you to have some quick bites and alcohol to relax right after work!

[RAFFLES PLACE, SINGAPORE] Right smack in the heart of the bar area in CBD is a new Mexican bar that you need to try at least once. With daily 1 for 1 alcohol promo (that amount to just $6/glass for some spirits 🤯) and quality food, you may be just a few metres away from a good evening.
We started with their Frozen Margheritas 🍸 ($14) and they were absolutely refreshing. The calamansi one was my go-to with nice citrusy notes. This drink is dangerous, as I didn't taste the alcohol much but it kicked it late but strong towards the end of the cup 🤣
To pair with your alcohol, you need some good sides, and their Fried Cauliflower 🥦 ($8) might be your choice item. Light crispy batter with a soft creamy inside, this was hella addictive and I found myself digging deep into the homemade coriander chilli crema too.
Now when it comes to the mains, you NEED to get their Quesadilla de Cameron 🌮 ($14). Full of cheese, this was so satisfying and filled with ingredients. The prawns within were snappy, and the mango salsa gave it a touch of sweetness that helped to cut through the richness.
Out of all the tacos we've had, the Tacos de Pascado 🐟 ($18 for 2) seemed to be the crowd favourite. Tender, succulent meaty fish chunks, and rich and tangy salsa and sauces really went well together to form a satisfying bite.
At such a prime location, relatively abundant seats for groups and great happy hours, you are bound to have a great time here. Thank you @amigos.sg for inviting and for the wonderful meal 😍
