TONITO Latin American Kitchen (Jewel Changi Airport)

Tomato stew with barramundi, clams, crispy quinoa. It's so refined. The only problems were it's tiny and we had to buy bread separately.

Portobello pasta cooked with Lustau sherry wine. It looks and tasted lovely. The deep-fried mushrooms were addictive.

A drink not on the main menu probably whipped up spontaneously by the bar. We don't know what went into it but this kind of name usually is safe hahaha.

Tonito's pasta de cangrejo features squid ink pasta topped with crispy soft shell crab, breaded squid, charred tomato and finished with a dash of lime.

The pairing of the subtly briny squid ink, deep fried seafood and a dash of tangy acidic lime went really well.

Tonito's food can be a little hit and miss. I personally prefer their mexican selections (eg the tacos and quesidillla) over the Peruvian and Argentinian selections. Since our #eatup in December last year, Tonito has revamped and streamlined their menu so some of the featured dishes may no longer be available!

Tonito is an excellent date location and has decent to good food. It's a tad pricey but do check out their #burpplebeyond deals! As usual, special thanks to the good folks from Tonito and Burpple for hosting us!

Tonito's Mejillon Negra features Chilean black mussels, chorizo and tiger prawns in a seafood bisque infused with Lustau dry sherry wine.

I enjoyed the rich, creamy and savoury seafood bisque which has a nice hint of the spicy notes of the dry sherry wine. Some may find the dry sherry a little too crisp and tart for their liking but I'm perfectly fine wiping up the bisque with their mini baguettes!

Some of my fellow #burpplers at the #eatup who have been to Tonito previously raved about their signature fish tacos and it was not hard to understand why.

Crispy white fish is topped with tartar sauce and pico de gallo (a Mexican salsa) in a soft and fluffy flour tortilla wrap. I loved how the savoury and creamy tartar sauce combined with the sweet and tangy pico de gallo to elevate the subtly sweet and flaky white fish.

It's delicious but $20 for 2 tacos is kinda a little too expensive for my tastebuds... Portions-wise, it was also rather small... A pity though that it doesn't fall under the #burpplebeyond deals...
