Details worth keeping

The Food Expect a mix of cold and hot tapas, mains and desserts on the menu, I started with some cold tapas dishes – "Salmorejo", Chilled Tomato Soup, Iberico Ham, Boiled Egg & Croutons (S$14) and Smoked Cantabrico Anchovies with Foie Gras Ganache & Brioche (S$16/2pcs). For hot tapas, the Crab Croquettes with Caviar and Aioli (S$16) is straightforward and easy on the palate, whereas the Crispy Plantain Fritters, with Avocado Cream, Honey & Siracha (S$9/2pcs) is quite a unique combination of avocado cream and honey.
