A Real Page-Turner Spanish Novel

I am fortunate to find myself living in Singapore and having friends who enjoy eating out. There are so many places to eat in Singapore that you can say it is the food destination capital of the world. My friends and I are always trying out new restaurants in Singapore and is always on the hunt for good eats at affordable prices. There are so many food outlets here that serve local food. The food choices are endless and restaurants are always looking for a way to create new dishes.

About two weeks ago, my friend got promoted in his job. As usual, we celebrated his promotion by dining out and having some good old beer. He was able to get a reservation in a new restaurant. I was skeptical at first cause it might be a pizza night again. When we went out that night, I was surprised that we are going to a Spanish restaurant named Don Quijote, a restaurants named after the great Spanish novel. Good thing my friend reserved seating in advance because the place was packed when we got there. This restaurant is something new to us since we’ve never dined out in any Spanish restaurants in Singapore before. I am a paella lover so I was hoping to get one that night.

I can say that it was a good choice of a restaurant that night. The food and service was great and the ambiance was conducive to eating. The place was really charming. We were blown away with the food and had good Spanish wine. I think the dishes are pretty authentic and my best friend kept on eating the prawn tapas. I never got to eat paella but what we had there was more than enough to make up for it.

Nothing really beats good food, good wine and sharing it with good friends. Another Spanish restaurant would have to top this restaurant. Next time we go there, we’ll unleash the goodness of their paella and drink some more Spanish wine.
