Being a Chinese, I grown up eating Chinese-style 'Suckling Pig' during all sorts of Chinese banquets. Especially after giving the first piece of 'Suckling Pig' a try, you will be hooked on the taste of the 'Suckling Pig', not forgetting the skin, which is pretty crispy. However, the Chinese 'Suckling Pig' has a major weaknesses too. If the pig isn't prepared properly, you will end up getting either a salty pig or a pig with tough meat. Anyway what does the 'Suckling pig ' has to do with the post today?
| Everything started off with a simple advertisement of a restaurant on a magazine a few months back. The advertisement looks delicious? and unforgettable. However, it's due to the photos of one of their signature dish that seems to be stalking me around recently that push me forward. |

| 'Spanish Style Roasted Suckling Pig' By looking at the photo, it's pretty hard for you to determine the exact size of the pig. But it's roughly 70 centimetres in length and the breadth is approximately 30 centimetre. One of the waitresses told me that usually one of these pigs would weigh between 3~5 kilograms. Taste wise, in order to prove how tender the meat was, rather than using a knife to slice the pig into pieces, the waiter was using a plate to slice up the pig into pieces. And he will give you the plate to smash it into pieces inside a wooden box. Besides for the tender meat and the crispy skin that you are getting, this dish isn't too salty and to some extent, I think that I could easily finish 1/2 of the pig without any difficulty. By the way, a special 'Tomato sauce' and a pot of stew was also provided for this dish. Seriously, I couldn't believe that the 'Tomato sauce' was actually 'Tomato Sauce'. The taste was so good that it actually blend with the taste of the 'suckling pig' nicely. On top of that, the potatoes that comes as a side dish of the 'suckling pig' was pretty good too. It was a good mixture between sticky and soft. Trust me, once you have added a bit of the special sauce to the potatoes and giving it a try, all the whipped potatoes out there in Singapore would look pretty bad. |

| Too bad, all the loan shark nowadays have already modernised. Otherwise they probably would want to pick this up. :P |

| 'Pan con Tomate' | 'Coca de recapte con chorizo y Quesos' |

I was busy digging into the 'suckling pig' that I didn't have the chance to give these dishes a try. But one thing that I can guaranteed you would be the fact that the 'Pan con Tomate' smells heavenly. I could even smell the heavenly smell from the other side of the table. | |
 |
| 'Paella Valenciana (Valencia Paella)' How should I phrase this. This dish is like a mixture of the 'Chinese' fried rice and Claypot Rice. Each spoonful of rice comes with a pretty strong taste of seafood. If you are too comfortable with the normal 'Chinese' fried rice, you probably wouldn't really like this. However, I think that it's a pretty good experience and you can really call this 'Seafood Rice'. :P By the way, though we were a group of four, but we managed to clear all the dishes that we have ordered that evening. (And that includes the whole roasted suckling pig. Whahahahahaha~~~~~~) |
So where could you give all the delicious dishes a try?
 |
| The name of this restaurant would be 'Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant'. It's located at one of the corners of 'VivoCity' level 1. |

By the way, they have an in-house live band too. This could be one of the better ways to kill time while waiting for all the good food. |
Notes:
- Opening Hours:
Sundays - Thursdays: 11am - 11pm
Fridays - Saturdays: 11am - 12am - Seems that most of the signature main dishes will require a pretty long waiting time. Therefore, it will be much more wiser for you to either place a few orders for light snacks or bring your own gadgets/materials to kill time while waiting.
