Paranoid

Yeang Chyn gave The Android a belated birthday treat at La Viva Tapas Bar, CHIJMES.

The Android has been to this Spanish eatery ages ago, with the peeps from O. Unfortunately, The Android cannot quite recall what he ate the last time, as he was trashed before the food arrived. This time round, The Android made no such mistake and savoured every bite. We ordered the Mallorca Set, which included sizzling beef covered with garlic and onions, cheesy prawns on eggplant, pan-fried sangria chorizo sausages, and assorted seafood baked rice paella.

Everything from the juicy eggplant to the charred garlic stuck on the hotplate was excellent! What’s even better is that they have a spacious smoking section out in the courtyard! This 2-person tapas set is a little pricey at $39 per head before surcharges, yet the meal was tasty and filling. Thumbs-up.
