Don Quijote

To celebrate a close childhood friend's birthday, we had to accommodate to whatever strange cravings she had and she apparently wanted to eat Spanish food. WHAT A PREDICAMENT. Besides a previous place that both, Eve and I had worked at, I didn't have much Spanish restaurants in my arsenal. So you can imagine, trying to find a good place, was a bitch.

Eventually, my sister managed to stumble on a very beautiful promotion which was well within our poor budgets.

I present to you, Don Quijote.

It was a Tapas Brunch Buffet which was around S$30++/pax. It was a promotion then, so right now, I'm not sure.

The whole Spanish cuisine has been sidelined in Singapore, I've worked with Spanish cuisines before, it was painful. These types of promotions are necessary.

Don Quijote interior. Quaint. The bar is well stocked.

They provide a choice of either free flow of fruit juices or free flow of alcohol. Logically, you have to pay more if you chose the latter.

Buffet has free flow of sangrias with freshly cut fruits. Oho. Ho. Ho. Ho.

PRESENTING THE TAPAS!!!

Alitas de Pollo al Ajilo con Salsa Picante

Croquetas con Jamon

Spanish cuisine lesson 101(2):
Jamon: Pronounced as HA-MON. A rather expensive prosciutto made from (USUALLY) these Iberian Black Pigs.
Jamon usually has less fats compared to Prosciutto de Parma.
Chorizo: Sausage. Spanish chorizo has a deep red colour from peppers (eg paprika, but not always!). So expect it to be slightly spicy. (I forgot to take photo of the chorizo, obviously.)

Patatas Bravas

Calamares Fritos

Pudin de pan y Mantequilla (aka Bread and Butter Pudding)

Gazpacho. Cold tomato based soup. Sour stuff.

I LOVE SUPER SOFT EGGPLANTS.

Gambas de Ajillo and Berenjenas al Horno. (Garlic fried prawns and Eggplant casserole)

Rollitos de Esparragos y Beicon
