There lies a hidden gem in the Eastern part of Singapore! A modern European family-friendly restaurant which has been around for almost a decade. Serving up affordable European cuisine, you can have a gastronomical adventure across Europe with a fares coming from Italy, France and even Spain.I was there for an OpenRice food tasting session and I got to savour some of their special signatures which got me salivating when it was served on the table.

I was there for an OpenRice food tasting session and I got to savour some of their special signatures which got me salivating when it was served on the table. The boss of the restaurant, Carin, hosted us warmly at this cosy family restaurant, which gave me a feeling of dining at a home of a European family.
Below are some of my personal favourites worth raving about!
Pulpo ala Gallega ($16) - Sliced octopus on bed of potatoes topped with fish roeThis was one of the starters and the presentation was very fine and classy with a mini plastic sword holding up the layers of potatoes, chewy octopus topped with delicious fish roe! I love how the combination of flavours and texture work so well together.
Haloumi & Green Olive Salad ($5) - grilled haloumi cheese tossed with olive, rocket, Japanese cucumber, pine nuts, red onion and drenched in a light mustard dressing The star of this salad is no doubt the grilled haloumi cheese which has a smooth milky and robust flavour with a tinge of smokiness. It enhances the flavour of the salad and the Japanese cucumber slices were very fresh and crunchy!
Rabo de Toro ($28) - Spanish-style spicy Oxtail stew with toasted breadThis dish won my heart for the night as the succulent oxtail meat and tendon slides off the bones very easily. The gravy wasn't that spicy but instead, tantalizing to the taste buds. It is served with sliced baguette and it helps to balance the richness of it when eaten together.
Corn-fed Chicken ($30) - Roasted corn fed chicken with shiitake mushroom, roasted potatoes, essence of chicken demi & kitchen vegetablesProbably one of the underrated dish on the menu, the French chicken, also known as Poulet, has a natural sweetness as it is corn fed. The meat within is moist and juicy too. Baked with the mushroom, it brings out the natural flavour of the chicken that's so tasty without the need for any gravy or sauce to go with.
These are my favourite items and they are delicious. Would highly recommend this place for family and friends as well as business lunches. Very chill and quiet place for to spend quality time over quality food!
