Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant (Closed)

I shall not go into details about the concept - authentic Spanish fare in a serene, Mediterranean setting and polite staff. Lots of artifacts line the inside of the restaurant, and there is a huge alfresco area for those who prefer Sentosa's sea view.The Paella Valenciana (SGD$53.00), serves 3-4 pax, and requires cooking time of about 30 - 45 minutes - is made up of saffron, chicken, chorizo, tiger prawns, squids, mussels and bomba rice. It was aromatic with saffon's distinctive spicy pierce, an

As it was tapas size, it left you with a sensation of wanting more. So we decided to organise a suckling pig theme makan session. Serenity got our pick, due to their location and reputation. Thanks to Running Man for booking and putting a down payment for the whole pig, so

[ Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant ]Serenity was located at Vivocity, serving authentic traditional Spanish food in a spacious cosy unit at #01-98. Sitting quieting next to one of the mall's entrance, i don't see much activities inside for so many times I walked passed.Visiting the restaurant the first time with a few other foodie friends, immediately I realize why the place was so quiet after looking through the menu. Per pax spending is min. $70. We were the only customers that weekday night.

Stepping into Serenity with a dimly lighted ambiance and spacious seating arrangements exuding posh yet promoting casual and intimate dinning experience.Sangria White ($16). I’m more of a white wine than red wine person as white wine usually have a sweeter finishing note. This sangria cocktail is indeed refreshing with accompaniment of mixtures of citrus fruits for a heavy tasting meal which follows after.Pulpo Gallega ($19.80). Grilled octopus marinated with paprika spices, garlic, flake salt a

Sangria Dark - $16 We started the meal with an alcoholic drink, Sangria, which typically contain fruit, rum & wine. It had a strong bitter aftertaste, hinting a slightly strong alcohol content. Then again, it's a classic spanish drink to try if you havent, helped to set the mood for an authentic spanish dinner, especially with the live band performing in the background. ^_^ Tortilla Espanola - $7.80As a starter, we had the Tortilla Espanola, which is potato omelette. I luv potato mash, chips, fr

This is a lovely place with a very Mediterranean furnishing, lots of comforting blues amongst ivory whites, and ancient artifacts adorning the restaurant. The ambience is very relaxing, and sultry Spanish music invites one to simply unwind and chill out.One could choose to dine in cool comfort indoors, or choose to be caressed by the (sea) breezes while dining alfresco, listening to the live band at the same time. The outdoors is just as enchanting as the indoors.Four of us started the meal with

Belated birthday treat from the bffs, Carol & Charlene. We also took this as our yearly Christmas meet-up. Didn't really have anything restaurant in mind, so we ended up at Serenity. We ordered a Sangria De Original (Red Wine, Gin, Brandy, Orange Liquor, juices & lemonade) each. The drink is quite bland, except for the strong flavor of gin & brandy.Since it's Christmas, we ordered the 1/4 Suckling Pig Platter ($168++) which consists of potato, greens, Turkey Breast, Ham, Stuffings & of cos, 1/4

Serenity is strongly advocate for its yummylicious Suckling Pig through words of mouth and its attractive looking posters and advertisements pasted on the big pillars in vivocity. Due to its popularity, we had make efforts to go earlier for dinner, avoiding the peak period. As we approached the entrance, we were greeted in Spanish with "Hola" and was advised to wait to be seated. Within seconds of waiting, we were served by a lady. Each of us was given a menu with a dancing lady on its cover ind

I’m so excited visiting Serenity as this is my first time trying authentic Spanish food. Patatas Bravas, roasted browned puffy potato drizzled with a rich, dense and powerful romesco sauce and garlicky alioli sauces. Fideua de Verduras, well cooked pasta tossed in aromatic onion, saffron infused olive oil and assorted vegetable. Topped with a big portabello mushroom (like a hat) although this is a vegetarian dish but it is pack with flavors. Arroz al Horno, looks really messy but tasted really

went to this restaurant not for the food but more for a nice place to have a chat with friends and have a drink together too. The environment and ambience are serene like its name serenity, pleasant to enjoy some relaxing time there. Drinks wise we just chose our favourite common drinks or those we think we would prefer.all the drinks above are quite nice, had a pleasant time there relaxing with my group of friends.

The FoodI ordered the Patatas Bravas (Roast Potato with romesco sauce and Alioli Sauce) and Bunuelos De Bacalao (Deep Fried Spanish style cod fish cake)What made this roasted potato so special and nice are the sauces which leaves a tinge of sweetness and does not over-powered the roasted potato flavour.As for the deep fried cod fish cake, the inside is very fresh and soft as it literally melts in my mouth even before I swallow and the outside deep fried with a very crispy taste. The ServiceThe w

The Calamares a la plancha indeed was a good choice. The freshly grilled squid in extra virgin olive oil brought out the nature ocean taste of the squid. The squid was also soft and not chewy.The other tapas dish we had was Patatas Bravas, roast potato in Romesco sauce and Alioli sauce. For a few pieces of potato to cost $10.80, I find it rather expensive and not worth.The Crema de Mariscos or Cream Seafood Soup was hearty and comforting. The broth was quite flavourful from the fresh mussels, ca

This dish which I have already tried more than three times in half a year has never disappoint me. The cod fish is very fresh, soft and juicy. The flour batter coated over the fish has make this cod fish very crispy and with a little fluffy texture in between it. Too bad the side dish is really not take exciting as only a few slices of lettuces with some olive oil spread on it. Would be nicer if the basic potato wedges and coleslaw are served with this cod fish, which will make this main cou

The restaurant looks simple and the layout is spacious and comfortable. I have tried their spring chicken with stuffed vegetables in it and was really amused by the high standard of this dish. The chicken is grilled till goldn brown and every parts of the meat is very juicy, tender. Stuffed with cooked broli flowers, cubes carrots, cubes cucumbers, cubes potatoes and with very nice pepper gravy in it. The appearance may look simple, but the taste was fantastic! Share it with a friends or tw

Serenity was fairly empty on the weekday night that we visited it. Ordered an appetizer called Solomillo al Foie. Its 2 really small chunks of beef, with 2 thin slices of foie gras ontop, and topped with onion sauce. I really liked the dish despite its miserable size. My favorite part was the beef - It was medium rare and went very well with the sauce. The foie gras was only passable though - I’ve had better ones.
