Welcome to China Square Central.

[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 😍

This would be the best place in town to grab some decent pasta, from their extensive pasta menu focus on aglio olio.

Lots of options to choose from with what you want to go with the pasta, such as the seafood option like mine.

Simple but packed with aglio olio taste, accompanied by prawn, sliced fish and clam.

Top up a few dollars to complete your meal with a bowl of soup and drink.

I loved that I could try both kimchi & seafood pancakes at once. There’s a lot of batter but it’s loaded with ingredients so it wasn’t too starchy!

the Pear Onion Marinated Pork Collar was alright but you know the Boneless Prime Ribs is good when the waiter orders it FOR you😂 we just wished the portion was more than 200g

After being introduced of this place, decided to go again but this time with another friend. Had the 8 times spiciness white ramen with fried karaage chicken ($14.90). Ramen was delicious along with its soup. My favourite would still be the fried karaage chicken

Recommended by my friend who worked nearby and she brought me to this place where the ramen is kind of reasonable.

I ordered the braised pork ramen ($15.80) and I like how the seperate the meat from the ramen to prevent diluting the meat.

I would like to go back again for it

Terrible. The pancake's texture is worse than frozen ones. Sauce is decent but tastes Chinese, like those 煎饼果子 kind

Avoid

Asked for less noodles but again, the noodles were more than generous. Plus it has no bite at all, basically mush.

The soup sucks even more. It's sour. Why is it sour? Taste like it's spoilt, not like vinegar added to a good soup

Beef was surprisingly decent. There's a little bit of heat and it's tender enough too

Terrible. The flavour combination is completely wrong, there's way too much sugar and it doesn't taste anything like it's supposed to

A decent Singaporean style luroufan. On the sweet side. Pork was tender

We asked for less rice but this didn't seem like less rice at all, unless their usual rice portion is immense.

A lovely adaptation of an eggs royale.🍳🥞 Warmly spiced with cinnamon, the addition of pumpkin into the batter gave it a texture that is less fluffy but more moist!

Many places do their hollandaise overly sour or heavy, but this had the right amount of cream, with its brightness peeping from pops of tobiko✨
