Yes, we tried more than $1000 worth of different types of caviars that evening, but our key takeaway was the new friends made that evening. Naturally, after a few bottles of the premium wines, champagne and sake courtesy from @dq_sg_ken, things got even more fun.

Now about caviar, if you ask me which is my favorite, for me it's no doubt @caviar8gems top grade No 8 Royal Beluga, but that's also the most expensive. For the optimal quality-to-price ratio, I'll go for No 2: Superior Oscietra, which I heard is also their best seller.

It's like a lobster thermidor, but they use light tasting cheeses. This is because Don Quijote brings in live lobster for this dish, and in order to focus our taste buds on the natural sweetness of the fresh lobster, they went light on the cheese. And wise choice, the lobster flesh fell off easily from the shells, while the meat from the claws still has the taste of the ocean.

You know @siewyan49 kept a list of her favourite restaurants in her "note" app in her iPhone, and Don Quijote is one of the restaurants in it :)

Ever had pork cooked medium rare? This isn't just any Iberian pork. Owner Ken explained to me this is a very premium grade of Iberian pork exclusive to Don Quijote. It's so clean that it can be cooked medium rare, and that's when I tasted how a good cut of premium pork could taste like - sweet, nutty, and not gamey at all.

To top it off, they used binchotan to grill it. So it came with a lovely aroma, and slightly crisp edges.

Imagine a whole plate of this lobster paella, where each spoonful is a flavor bomb filled with intense seafood flavour. The rice in the center is soft and plump like risotto, while those at the sides have that crisp burnt edges. And because the pan is shallow, there's a good mix of burnt rice to "risotto rice" ratio. They also used live lobster, so the flesh of the lobster is soft and juicy.

Surely an exceptional paella. One day I should try their squid ink seafood paella too!

Mussels, Clams, Prawns, chicken pieces and rice cooked in saffron stock
The richness from the seafood was well absorbed by the rice, it was simply an enjoyable and delicious plate of panella.

Grilled Secreto “Iberico Pork”
This was the best tapas of the night! Superbly tender and juicy grilled iberico pork which could be enjoy by itself. LOVE IT!

Tenderloin Steak Cubes with Blue Cheese
The signature and must order dish was just alright for me, it wasn’t much of a “wow” factor. But the flavour was good, and it was cooked to medium rare perfection – tender and juicy.

Fried Battered Squid served with House Sauce
The squids were well battered and fried till golden brown, it was too greasy at all. Slightly chewy texture but yet crunchy exterior. It damn addictive!

Eggplant, Oven-Baked in Casserole
I love eggplant, and this was damn good. It wasn’t too mushy, and the tomatoes give a fresh balanced in the palate. Damn good!
