Early Valentines Day with Mr Guan @ Catalunya


13 February 2013

This year Mr Guan and I decided to spend Valentine's Day earlier so here we are at Catalunya, a new spanish restaurant which overlooks the MBS for Lunch.
Outfit of the day:
Dress: ASOS
Clutch: Prada
Belt & Bracelet: Hermes
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman


Upon pushing the heavy door, you are welcomed into a circular bar counter. The place is decked with big wooden furniture and pretty decorations. I couldn’t wait to try the food. Before the food was served, I told myself that if the food was awesome that I would definitely return with Mako, Adeline, Louise, Karen and Pikling on Valentine's Day itself.

I ordered an array of tapas for the lunch as the main all seemed a little too heavy.  And instead of ordering Spanish red wine to go with the tapas, I opted for cocktails instead.  The first cocktail I had is called Singapore Sour.  Mr Guan had the Kumquat cocktail to celebrate the Chinese New Year.  The cocktails are priced at $20 and $24 which is the average price of a cocktail in most other restaurants. A must-have at Catalunya are the Marinera mussels.  The taste and portion far exceeds the pricetag of $14





Escalibada – foie gras with eel

Singapore Sour

Bikini – ham & truffle sandwich

Cod Fritters – too salty

Pasians Favourite

Calamari – squid was fresh and patty was crispy


Suckling Pig – the meat was really tender but the skin was not as crispy as those served in Chinese restaurants, and after chewing the meat was a little too gamey for my liking.

Stairway to Heaven







Total Damage for 2 - $198.91

Verdict 4/5

Catalunya
82 Collyer Quay
Singapore 049327
