I was tasked to look for a place for dinner for my office gathering and I suggested this new Mexican restaurant that has just opened at CHIJMES.I have eaten at several Mexican restaurants in Singapore, but this is definitely the best I have eaten.They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors, you dine alfresco but they only serve small bites and drinks outside. Indoors, its air-conditioned.Here are the highlights of my meal:Tapas- Papas Encabronadas: Cut half baby potatoes served in a pot.
I have eaten at several Mexican restaurants in Singapore, but this is definitely the best I have eaten.
They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors, you dine alfresco but they only serve small bites and drinks outside. Indoors, its air-conditioned.
Here are the highlights of my meal:
Tapas
- Papas Encabronadas: Cut half baby potatoes served in a pot. Yummy.
- Donas de Huitlacoche: This is smoked corn mushroom donuts. Its black in color. Looks off-ish but its delicious.
- Dobladita de Jaiba: Served as an ice cream cone, the cone is a tortilla shell deep fried and it has Crab meat, Avocado, Pico de Gallo & topped with Serrano Meringue.
Dinner
- Ensalada El Mero Mero: Salad with caesar dressing, tomatoes, sunflower seeds & grilled braised pork belly
- Pulpo a las Brasas: Grilled Octopus, Corn Cream, Black garlic & Tajin Ash
- Flautas: Crunchy Tortilla stuffed with chicken, avocado cream & tomatillo
- Burrito XXL: Charcoal Beef Arrachera Burrito, Cheese, rice, beans, avocado, lettuce & pickled onion
- Lechon a la Brasas: 12 hour slow roasted piglet, for 2 – 3 pax
- Queso Fundido: Chihuahua melted cheese, farm tomatoes, salsa & tortilla
Dessert
- Chocolate Ahumado: Mexican Chocolate Ganache, Churros, Cinnamon & Passion Fruit Milk
- Pina a la Brasas: Grilled Pineapple, Caramelised Piloncillo, Papantla Vanilla Ice Cream
- Milhojas de Cajeta: Crispy Crepes, Mexican Milk Caramel, Coffee, Almond
I had several cocktails:
- El Mero Mero: Very popular cocktail amongst my dining group. Strong and a tinge of orange in the drink.
- Mojito: Served in a bamboo cup with lots of crushed ice and a piece of sugarcane. You can chew on the sugarcane to add some natural sweetness to your drink.
- Latin Lover: Served in a wooden flat bowl, it was orangy and reminded me of being at a beach resort.
- Frozen Margherita: We had several jugs of this. It was slushy and drink slowly to avoid brain-freeze.
A great dining place at a centrally located venue – CHIJMES.
This place is definitely on my recommended list! Try it!
