Signature Dishes
I'm currently obsessed with tapas, and must say that Esquina never fails to impress. Their dishes are always delicately executed and each one has its own unique, exquisite taste. All their dishes are good, but I'd highly recommend ordering the Crispy baby squids and the Seafood paella. I'm not the only one who thinks Esquina serves up the best tapas in town, so be sure to get there by 6:30 on a weekend if you want to snag a seat by the bar (which is the best place to be!) Unfortunately, they don't take any reservations. We also ordered their clams, Spanish breakfast, roasted beef short ribs, lamb rump and dessert.

Some have said that one should arrive early to get a seat especially on Fri/Sat or be prepared to queue. Ironically, we promptly arrive at 6pm but it was only ready for service after 15minutes. The place was about 80% full and the service was insincere for some. For more details : http://dairycream.blogspot.sg/2012/12/esquina-spanish-tapas-or-dimsum.htmlThere were both hits and misses with the food but one gripe is that the size really can be afforded to be more generous even though they are tapas. Otherwise, it might be better to charge tapas price for tapas rather than main course prices for tapas. Foodwise, it was acceptable to me to experiment with the new creations but not for The Folks who commented that they had no idea what they were eating that night. Perhaps Spanish tapas might not be the cup of tea for everyone but I shall still continue to search for one that will be comfortable not only to the tastebuds but also to our stomachs and pocket.

For pictures and more reviews, visit my blog at http://www.ms-skinnyfat.comEsquina is a haute tapas boutique where patrons perch precariously on weirdly shaped metal stools that will seriously damage some nuts. Not a place for large groups because you can hardly converse farther than your immediate left/right. Ham Croquetas ($10) is my must order. 4.5cm tall balls filled with creamy bechamel and chunks of what is possibly iberico ham (i expect no less) left us wanting for more. The ham was a little salty but i love it.The Smoked Haddock, spring onion and Manchego omelette ($18) was the fluffiest eggs i've tried in a while. I would liken it to a souffle but firmer. The taste was light; simply flavored with the natural sweetness of the smoked haddock. I was pleasantly surprised by this one.Do order the Sauteed gambas, chili garlic, potato dumplings and bisque sauce ($24) even though it doesn't look spectacular. The prawns were fresh and bouncy and i love the rich bisque sauce so much i could inhale it. Gnocchi were meh.And oh.. the Beef Tartare.. simply divine... Extremely flavorful and smooth tartare, especially after you scoop the confit egg yolk onto it....Read more on my blog.
