With Mother's Day just round the corner, they have specially curated a menu with Somersby and fruity elements for the occasion. We tried their Morganfield's Sticky Bones Ribs, that was slow baked for hours and grilled to reach a juicy and tender texture, along with some charred and dried crust, glazed with the sweet yet tarty Somersby Apple-Glazed BBQ sauce - made from Somersby Apple cider, honey and aromatic Granny Smith apples.
The Fried Calamari was also really tasty! The basket of crispy, lightly breaded calamari was tender and flavorful, but made even better when paired with the saffron mayo on the side.
While the food may be slightly pricey given the small portions, it was tasty and I would recommend this place for date nights 😉
The signature Bikini Sandwich was clearly a must try, given how it is the dish that propelled the restaurant to fame back in Spain. With each mouth you take, the lightly crispy toast gives way to a soft and melted cheesy core, where the wafer thin slices of salty iberico ham complements it nicely. The truffle spread is very light on the palate, lingering over the other components and not overpowering them.
The Foie Gras was smaller than I thought, but silly me, this place's called Tapas 24, so I should have known all portions were gonna be small. Nonetheless, the burger patty was tender and juicy, with the foie gras taste only coming into play most prominently in the accompanying foie gras mousse.
With Singapore's sweltering heat, it's no wonder why coconut drinks stall are popping up a dime a dozen these days, and you can easily see at least 1 person in the street holding a cup of coconut drink. Situated in a central location, I popped by their paragon outlet and tried the following:
Coco Nutella Shake
While it's a mixture of nutella and coconut, the chocolatey and nutty hazelnut fragrance completely overshadowed any hint of the coconut freshness. The drink was smooth and very easy on the palate, and being the sweet tooth that I am, this easily made it to 1 of my favourite of the 4 that I tried.
Coco Shake
A classic, this is for you if you'd just like a simple, refreshing coconut drink to quell the sweltering weather. A fail safe option, you'd be delighted to find out that they have chewy bits of coconut at its base, though I wish they could chopped it into smaller bits.
Coco Cado Shake
A classic combination of coconut and avocado, this was naturally sweet and I enjoyed the velvety texture, with coconut bits at the base for a nice contrast.
They have other interesting concoctions like the Cado Durian Fresh Milk, which youcan try if you're feeling adventurous!
The Mapo Tofu here were more sweet than they were spicy, though still pleasantly tasty. Imagine it'd go well with a bowl of rice but was too full by the end of the meal to stomach any more carbs.
Had both the Snow Bun and Black Pepper Bun and the latter won hands down, with its peppery kick and brittle crust.
The Crispy Corn & Prawn with Salted Egg may give you trust issues, since you may mistakenly pick up a corn kernel thinking it's prawn as they were all coated in a golden batter. That said, this bite sized morsel with its salted egg fragrance was dangerously addictive and definitely a must order.
If you're craving for roast duck and am looking for an alternative to Dian Xiao Er, check out them out!
Known for using the best Irish duck famed for its quality, these ducks are also coined the 'Wagyu of Ducks'. The Roast Duck skin boasts a gentle crackle, unlike the peking duck version. Juicy and tender, not every slice was as fatty as I'd like it to be but still tasty nevertheless.
A sweet ending to my meal, we had the churros with vanilla ice cream where vanilla speckles can clearly be seen. Fried to a golden brown, the churros was coated with a layer of sugar and boasts a crispy exterior along with a soft core. You can have the ice cream and churros separately or dipped the latter into the ice cream for a better experience.
Accompanying the meal was my huge mason jar of Mojito that doesn't seem to end no matter how much I drink 😂 not that I am complaining! An uncommon sight, the mojitos here comes with a stick of sugarcane for the OG experience - chew on it long enough for the juice to come out and simply discard the stick thereafter. Drinks here are on the stronger side, but nothing too strong that'll give you a hangover so fret not.
Cuban food are not common in Singapore and my first try at cuban dishes was pretty interesting!
Tried the Signature Mojito Chicken was recommended by the staff and it was pretty interesting. The boneless chicken thigh was drenched in tangy-sweet mango salsa which was a first for me, where the savoury, sweet and sour elements come into play together. Despite the use of thigh meat, the chicken was slightly dry though it was nothing too consequential since the mango salsa complemented it. To counter all the protein, the dish was served with herbed vegetables and roasted potatoes for a more balanced meal.
