Tapas,24

Gambas Al Ajillo is a classic must order tapas in any Spanish restaurant that features sautéed prawns with garlic, chilli and extra virgin olive oil served hot.

Tapas24 serves a decent rendition of this classic dish. The shrimps were fleshy and juicy. However, the olive oil was lacking in garlic flavours and tasted rather flat. It was surprisingly my least favourite dish of the night.

The northwestern Spanish region of Galica is most famous for Pulpo Gallego, a tapas made of octopus. Traditionally the octopus is boiled and topped with olive oil, pimentón, and salt.

Tapas 24 grills their Galican octopus instead. I love how the octopus is crisp on the outside and yet juicy and tender on the inside. The mildly salty flavour of the octopus pairs beautifully with creamy and earthy tones of the potato mash and the floral and zesty notes of the chimichurri sauce.

This is personally my favourite dish of the night!

Tapas 24 is one of Barcelona's iconic and busiest tapas bar run by Michelin-starred chef Carles Abellan. Their Singapore outpost is their first outside of Spain and features most of the same dishes.

Their signature Bikini Sandwich is a crisp buttered toastie featuring black truffles, iberico ham and buffalo mozzarella. I love the symphony of flavours from the nutty and earthy black truffles, rich and savoury iberico ham and the gooey creamy and tangy buffalo mozzarella.

It is an excellent appertizer to start the meal!

generally a hit and miss with bit steep pricing 🤔 recommend to go for tapas and desserts! really like the boneless chicken, spanish omelette and brie cheesecake for sure😍

Good points first - I liked that it was mild and very creamy - texture was good, yet not too jelat. However, the base was so thin and feeble. The menu stated "wholemeal crust", but the crust was barely there. I would have appreciated a thicker crunchy crust, so that we get textural variation - creamy soft cheesecake with crunchy buttery crust.

Josper grilled secreto cut of Iberico! They were sliced to a good thickness (it's thin, but still has a bite), and was rather meaty and juicy. Though not the most tender, it was still enjoyable, and the chimichurri gave some additional flavour + crunch. Certain pieces had a thin layer of crispness at the sides, which I liked.
