after deliver dinner to brother went with lisa for 2pax dinner @ alegria teck lim road along keong saik, on 27.1.2022.^^

lucky surprise found parking next to hotel 81 cafe cicheti…

took photo of parklette seems that alternative use of parking lot is allowed by URA?

alegria means happiness in Spanish..restaurant started out as a Manila sangria bar in Philippines now expanded to 4 outlets inc singapore.

food is Mexican with Asian & European influence

we decided to order all tacos plus the chicken croquette so did not use Amex love dining discounts, a bit wasted

liked all the tacos- beef, prawn squidink, dory fish..the sisig belly pork so so..

croquette so so too nothing like la tapiera or foc

$26 cocktail rather ex

lovely ambience and vibe..an enjoyable evening will come back again

had 5pax family lunch @ bayswater kitchen keppel island on 16.1.2022.^^

unfortunately no alacarte buffet today which was on website & which we came for..so rather disappointing..

food was ok..

pot of mussels & clams just right texture & sauce very tasty $25

vongole sauce ok tasty too..just don’t have much EVO clams white wine flavours

chef seafood platter too ex at $90..basically just smaller portion of $25 clams & mussels add 4 prawns, calamari, 1 soft shell crab, a few battered cod ..then become $90???

fish & chips pretty good

bounty bar so so coconut sorbet not flavourful wife’s chocolate tart far better

ambience great by the marina not much decor service quite ok

food standard average for the price not worth it without weekend alacart buffet…
