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
