MoVida Singapore

For desserts, we tried the Flan ($12), which was Spanish cream caramel with spiced pestinos pastries, and Arroz Con Leche ($14), which comprised of Spanish rice pudding, roasted pineapple and rose rice ice cream. The desserts are rich and comforting - I like the jiggly flan!

We also ordered Fideos Negro ($32), which was pasta cooked in squid ink with clams, tiger prawns and garlicky aioli. The seafood was fresh and the squid ink sauce was full of umami. However, for some reason, the pasta was broken into short pieces - not sure if that was intentional but I would have preferred the noodles to remain long. Nonetheless, this was still very tasty.

We tried a total of 6 tapas and they were all sooo good:
▪️CANGREJO - Warm crumpet with spanner crab, saffron emulsion and finger lime ($9)
▪️PEZ REAL - Cold-smoked kingfish with pine nut sorbet and gazpacho ($12)
▪️CROQUETA - Creamy leek and lobster croquette with piquillo pepper ($9)
▪️ABALÓN - Slow-cooked abalone, finished over charcoal, Iberico pork lardo, butter emulsion ($16)
▪️PULPO - Spanish octopus cooked over coals with pork sobrasada sauce and potato ($16)
▪️PINCHO - Angus beef skirt, aged 150 days, grilled over charcoal on a skewer, onion and sherry sauce ($20)

Each tapas was an explosion of flavours and textures, and the execution was flawless. The crab tart was creamy and delicious, the grilled abalone was succulent and buttery, and the Angus beef skirt was so soft it almost melted in one’s mouth. Glad that I was sharing these with just 1 other person as I would not want to share these with a 3rd person😂
