Sanjay was running the place then, but he has since left and is now the head honcho of the Gusstimo Group of restaurants. *clap clap*
Alot of memories there man... how me and Sanjay came up with Hokkien alternative names for their menu. Hahaha!
Nice logo :P |
Well... they have shifted to Dempsey and the food is still great I must say!
It's a little pricier than other Spanish Restaurants and there are some comments about the food being just mediocre. But me being the Queen of Nom-ing, I rolled my eyes at those clueless comments.
If you have never been to Spain & tried real Spanish food, PLEASE SHUT UP!
*Cue evil laughter*
Heavenly Red Sangria |
Don Quijote has never disappointed me. Their food is of amazing standards and you can actually taste the freshness of the seafood. They go to Spain periodically to make sure they’re on top of things. Plus, the new restaurant is roomier and have two private rooms to accommodate private parties or functions. And their sangria is one of the best I have tried in Singapore! :p
Warm bread with garlic butter dip |
The warm bread rolls with garlic butter dip are amazing.
I like rolls with a strong yeast taste & the ones here went very well with it's accompanying dip.
But DO NOT eat too much of it as the food here only gets better and better.
Garlic Fried Shrimps |
Garlic fried Shrimps were fresh, crunchy and the crispy fried garlic in olive oil adds a subtle heat and fragrance to the dish. Very addictive. The Garlic Shrimp rolled in eggplant is worth a try too.
Asparagus Rolled in Bacon |
Asparagus Rolled in bacon was really nice too but I thought it was a little too pricey.
The bacon was not too salty and the asparagus was sufficiently well cooked. And asparagus is known to be an aphrodisiac. Kekekeke...
Mussels in Garlic & White Wine Sauce |
The Mussels in Garlic & White Wine Sauce were very nicely done, with a garlic and white wine sauce that had us licking our spoons. I like to dip some of the bread rolls into the sauce. Mmmm..... Shiok!
Beef Cheek in Red Wine Reduction |
Beef Cheek in Red Wine Reduction was another yummy delight. The dry-ish red wine enhanced the "beefiness" of the red meat. Melts in your mouth goodness.
Tenderloin Steak Cubes with Blue Cheese |
Tenderloin Steak Cubes with Blue Cheese was amazing, mindblowing, out of this world yummy. The beef was robust & super tender, and the cheese sauce was creamy, aromatic & just heavenly.
Stewed Pigs Feet with beans |
Stewed Pigs Feet with beans.
Most girls shrug at pig's feet or trotters. But I LOVE IT! The meat simply slides off the bone and every bite screams C . O . L . L . A . G . E . N
The broth is so power packed with flavours that you can taste the stickiness and imagine the hours put into making this stew.
Don Quijote Special Paella |
Don Quijote Special Paella.
The rice was moist, flavoursome and absolutely addictive. I particularly liked scraping off the burnt edges. Those who complained that the rice is too overcooked don't know shit about Spanish Food.
It's the burnt edges that is the gem... Get it? Duh...
Warm Chocolate Cake |
For dessert, you must try the warm chocolate cake that’s made with Spanish chocolate served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. The chocolate cake would be nothing short of the cherry on the icing of awesomeness – it was moist, and the warm chocolate lava that oozes of sweet, sweet decadence that would give you just the right sugar high. Phoarrrrr......!!!
