So sorry guys, this space has been neglected for way too long and I can't stand it.
I am back to update yall on my recent foodie journeys!
(Although this post should be updated ages ago. Oops!)
I still remember myself being all excited for this particular one, because I'd won a dining voucher from Clicknetwork for the very first time!
I wanted to save this Catalunya voucher for my mister's birthday, but the schedule was quite tight back then.
So we decided to keep it till my birthday which happens in March!
(FYI: Catalunya is hidden in the dome of The Fullerton Pavilion)
So here we are, ready for our first Spanish brunch experience!
Anyway, on the voucher letter, they claimed that the whole brunch program will last from 12.30pm to 4pm.
My first reaction was: "WHATTTT? Are you kidding me?"
But after the experience, I finally understand how clever this arrangement was.
Alright, too much introduction!
Now to the food!
Sunday Brunch Menu *click to view larger image*
First off, the wonderful spread of food, buffet-style.
First off, the wonderful spread of food, buffet-style.
Stews were served here.
A pity there was only the beef option, which wasn't really to my liking.
There are way more food than just the ones I took above.
The restaurant was slowly amassing quite a crowd and the food area started to form a queue (didn't want to cause a scene).
And by around 1pm, the restaurant seemed to be full house!
We too, finally sat down to enjoy our food.
Typical Singaporean's table in a buffet spread scene.
Hahahaa! Already full of food (really fortunate we got a huge round table for ourselves)!
Spanish Omelette which includes three layers of ingredients.
First layer on top is potato foam, followed by egg yolk and onion at the bottom.
This was also featured in the video on Irene Ang's foodporn channel on Clicknetwork.
Personally, I think this is really an interesting twist to the traditional dish.
This dish tends to be on the saltier side, I will recommend you to mix all the ingredients up before indulging.
Estrellados which basically are eggs (scrambled or fried option available) on a bed of potatoes and mushrooms (ham and chorizo option available).
What is there not to love about eggs and potatos and EGGS?!!!
Bikini Sandwich, one of my favourite!
The Iberico ham with the combination of cheese and truffle is just way too heavenly to resist.
Super flavorful for a sandwich!
I have no idea why sashimi is available but oh well, who cares when there are slices of salmon and hamachi!
Around 2-3pm (can't remember the exact timing), this is where the fun part began!
Suddenly, the background music turned one volume up and a carnival-styled piece was being played.
We were all caught off guard and were turning heads to see what was happening.
To our amazement, it was the presentation that we were informed about earlier on.
And to be honest, we had no idea until then!
No photos or whatsoever because we were seated at the wrong angle for photo taking.
Anyways, the first speciality dish served was the catch of the day!
In which a waiter was seen dancing to the vibrant music and preparing the catch for all the diners.
Hola!
Every table was served a sample dish.
Of course, you can also ask for more portions if you think it is not enough.
I tried my best in capturing the dish though, so sorry.
The meat has this sweet aftertaste which I really love and the olive oil that was added just lifted the freshness of the catch to the next level.
This is really really good!
Next up, Seafood Paella!
If you love Spanish seafood paella, this may just suit your taste buds!
The rice has this seductive aroma of both the lobsters and other seafood added, I can't help but wallop the whole thing!
This wasn't shown on the menu itself but I guess it's also one of the specialities!
Dayum, they really do know how to cook their potatoes man!
Hahaha!
The highlight of the day turned out to be our disappointment in short.
It was the Suckling Pig "Segovan Style"!
Unfortunately, we were served the ears and what I supposed to be the skull part.
It wasn't appetizing at all though we did have a taste of the crispy part.
While preparing for this dish, we witnessed the throwing of plates culture as well, which wasn't that bad afterall.
...
Time for some sweets and cakes!
Two super adorable Caucasians led the whole team behind whom was seen carrying trays of desserts to the buffet area.
Finally waited till this very moment!
There was quite a number of desserts placed on the table but no descriptions in such case.
So we just took whatever looked nice (and of course, instagram worthy)to us!
Managed to choose these four!
To be honest, we were really really full when it was desserts time.
But as usual, the second tummy calls out for another sweet serving willingly!
My favourite has got to be this.
Burger Macaron!!!
Super shiok, I think it has the filling of dark chocolate if I am not wrong.
Last photo before leaving the place!
In conclusion, I enjoyed my brunch experience at Catalunya and the food was definitely above average.
The lively atmosphere and the creative presentation left a deep impression on me.
So head down to experience yours today!
Last but not least, Irene Ang's experience as shown in VIDEO.
I would like to sincerely thank Clicknetwork once again for this opportunity!
Stay foodie everyone!
