micasa Kitchen & Bar

Small, cosy, and very homely establishment a short walk away from Beauty World MRT. Heard great things about this place so suggested it for a birthday celebration, and boy were the reviews all true - our meal here was so delicious and enjoyable and I would recommend this to anyone who loves spanish food!

Started off with the Burrata, Prosciutto, Tomatoes & Focaccia ($16 for Tapa) and the Crispy Potatoes, Fried Eggs & Jamon Iberico ($12 for Tapa). Loved the freshness of the burrata and tomatoes, and the prosciutto was utterly delicious. As for th potatoes, they were so well-crisped and were perfect with the jamon and gooey yolk. However, our minds were blown away by the Sea Prawns a la Francaise ($14 for Tapa) - juicy, tender prawns in a divine butter sauce so slurp-worthy that we almost licked the plate clean. Any prawn lovers have got to try this dish for yourself.

On to the main course, we got the Ultimate Seafood Paella ($42 for Small) which was rich, aromatic, and stuffed with seafood. This was great and satisfied all three of our stomachs. Ended off the meal with Tiramisu Casero ($9.50) which had an intense coffee flavour and a complimentary slice of cheese cake. What a wonderful meal and would definitely return!

Micasa Kitchen & Bar is a hidden gem in Bukit Timah that serves European cuisine tailored to the local palate using local sustainable sourced produce.

We had
- Burrata from Puglia & Proscuitto from Parma w Roasted Tomatoes & Italian Foccacia ($25)
- Signature Pork Cheek ($19)
- Squid Ink Paella ($34 for 1-2pax)
- Micasa Famous Churros served w/ Dark Chocolate & Lemon Curd ($7.5 for 3 pieces, $12 for 5 pieces)

The burrata with the foccacia was great, the pork cheek was a bit meh to me, probably could have tried the beef instead. The Squid Ink Paella was flavourful with generous amount of ingredients. The Churros were thinner than I expected, the lemon Curd is a good sauce to dip in with it.

Overall, a good place to try but for the price point, I expected more. It will be hard to get a parking lot given the location

The total bill cost us about $100

3/5

Worthhhh. It was crispy on the outside and super tender on the inside. Their garlic sauce and chickpea puree was so so flavourful as well!

All the food here was honestly so good I don’t even know where to begin! We got the Mixed Charcuterie Board, focaccia with Melted Camembert Fondue, Angus Ribeye, Seafood Paella, Pork Meatballs Pasta and Sangria. My favourite was the meatball pasta (which I sadly didn’t get a picture of) which was full of tomatoey goodness! The paella came with generous portions of seafood, while the ribeye was nicely seared on the outside and tender inside (special shout-out to the side of potatoes which stole the show). We all unanimously favoured the prosciutto in the charcuterie board, which went really well with the Camembert and bread 😋 Genuinely a great place with friendly staff and a chill atmosphere. Will definitely be back again!

Value for money: 4/5
Ambiance: 5/5

We ordered paella, pork cheek, crab bongo stew and prawns. Definitely think it's not worth the high reviews and price. Food was alright but no wow factor. Pork cheek was extremely oily as seen in photo. There was more oil than the mustard sauce itself :( quite disappointed.
