Tapas y Vino

We fancied a change of scene on Friday night, so we headed up to Emerald Hill, off Orchard Road, after work. We managed to bag ourselves a table on the outside decking in front of Que Pasa where we could sip wine under the palm trees, with a view of the old shophouses.

While the focus of Que Pasa is really wine, they also offer tasty bar snacks, pizzas and tapas to help soak up the alcohol. We opted for a few dishes off the tapas menu, starting with a bowl of Marinated Green Olives


and followed them up with some Roasted Artichokes, a Cheese Board, and some Serrano Ham.



There’s not a great deal of skill in serving any of these dishes, but the ingredients were obviously fresh and of a high quality because all of these dishes were full of flavour and made good accompaniments to their wines of the month.

We had planned to follow these dishes up later with some hot dishes – tortilla, chorizo etc, but we actually found ourselves too full for a change. A rare moment of self-restraint from the Greedy Gluttons… shame the same couldn’t be said for our wine-intake this evening…
