[CLOSED] FrapasBar by Saveur (The Cathay)

This risotto is on the salty end, and we couldn't finish it. Wishing it's more like the tangy Bolognese that we are used to but we got a dose of sodium overload. ($24?)

Ft the roast pork behind ($18) which feels slightly pricey for 3 chunks of meat, and we expected the skin to be more crisp

Apart from this, we enjoyed the other dishes at Frapas bar! (Esp the Saveur Pasta)

Happy Sunday! If you are looking for somewhere to chill, relax & enjoy good food and desserts around dhoby ghaut area. Time to drop by @frapasbar located at level one of The Cathay!

This dish will delight any pasta and truffle lovers, just a simple touch of truffle lightly tossed with the pasta and topped with crispy ebi. May be on the oilier side but nailed it. For $9, its a must order classic of Saveur.

Opened by the folks behind the successful @saveursg, @frapasbar is a fusion food gem at The Cathay, serving up a mouth-watering blend of Spanish & French cuisine, tapas-style. While the mains are great for one alone, the small plates (Frapas) are designed for sharing with friends and family! For a much complete experience, you may ask the wait staff to share with you the right pairings from their alcoholic drinks menu.

This can almost pass for a festive dessert.

While the moist, soft, chocolate fudge coated chocolate sponge cake has deep chocolatey bitter sweet flavour, the star is the fresh slice of juicy crunchy orange brulee / caramelised orange on top, which bursts with fruity sweet flavour.
.
Paired with thick orange gel with sharp sour sweet citrus flavour, and crumbly butter biscuits with buttery grainy sweet flavour.
.
Completed with soft mint leaves with sharp minty herbal flavour, and a creamy smooth scoop of vanilla ice cream with floral earthy sweet flavour.
