Welcome to Siglap.

[SIGLAP, SINGAPORE] Everything just hits well here in @nextdoorspanishcafe 🥹 From the service, to the food, to the vibes... You know you are in for a good time with your partner or friends!

All the food we've had was amazing with no misses, and I have to give a shoutout to their Escalivada y Sardinas 🐟 ($16) which featured the loveliest roasted vegetables cooked down to a sauce, with smoked sardines that added a smooth briny richness. You know it's quality stuff they are putting on the bread!

Another shout out got to be their Chicken Skewers or Pincho Moruno 🐔 ($16) as those were probably the best western ones I've had yet. They were nicely seasoned with spices that reminded me of kebabs, and they were so meaty yet tender at the same time. The sweet potato puree below is quite sweet, which helps cut the savoury flavour.

Don't miss out on their house made Churros con Chocolate 🍫 ($12), as these were absolutely delightful. I never had a crisper churros, with a soft fluffy centre. Their chocolate sauce is house made as well, which shouts dark decadent chocolate notes.

Drinks are a must here, especially when they have White Sangria 🍹which is quite rare to find! Sweet, refreshing yet fruity, their drinks will brighten up your evening.

While dishes might be a little pricey, quality is assured here. This is one place to come for celebrations, date nights or just a fun time with loved ones. Thank you @nextdoorspanishcafe for the invite 😍 I will definitely come back again.

Established since November 2007, their award-winning rendition features over 12 ingredients that go into the making of their gravy, including garlic, dried shrimp, galangal, red onions, tamarind pulp, coconut milk, and roasted peanuts along with other spices, slow-cooked for hours.
.
The result is a rich creamy thick gravy, robust with zesty sour tangy savoury sweet earthy herbal spice flavour, so addictive.
.
There's springy rice vermicelli noodles, crisp bean sprouts, crisp garlic chives, bouncy hard boiled chicken egg, and spongy tofu puffs, carrying grainy sweet vegetal herbal eggy savoury flavour.
.
Enhanced with crunchy deshelled fresh prawns with sweet savoury flavour, and chunky homemade sambal belachan with savoury salty spice flavour for added kick.

Georges signature fried wings served with a spicy dip on the side. The wings are crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. A perfect bar snack to satisfy the little hunger 》$19.50 / 6pcs

Ordinary fried squid ball that's chewy and bounces in your mouth with every bite. The accompanying homemade sambal makes a perfect dip 》$11.90 / 8 Pcs

My favourite potato snack to go with drinks. Served hot and crispy 》$7.90

This is a nice chill-out spot with both indoor and alfresco seating. The Georges platter comes with grilled bratwurst, 6 pcs chicken strips, bbq pork ribs & chicken quesadillas served with a side of mesclun salad that is perfect for sharing. Definitely worth visiting for some food and drinks with a nice and relaxed atmosphere/ambience 》$64.20

Coffee was more on the bitter side but the place is a nice spot to hangout and chill during the afternoon!

Tradizionale Focaccia Di Recco ($34) was filled with creamy cheese but did not have a solid enough base to hold it all and hence turned soggy🫕 Flavour was quite one-dimensional too.

Friarielli Provola e Salsiccia ($32) was decent but i was quite disappointed with the crust.

𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐩𝐡𝐨 (3.5⭐️; $22) - One of the pricier renditions around but justified by the generous portion of tender beef ribeye. The broth was clean while retaining hearty bold flavour.

𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐡 𝐦𝐢 ($15/2 petite) - First time trying sourdough rendition and it added a tangy savory depth to the usual baguette. Airy and crispy, and loaded with delicious fillings. Would recommend the Krabby (4.2⭐️) rendition with crunchy soft shell crab, kombucha pickles, siracha chili. Signature pork (4⭐️) was more classic with crispy pork belly.
