In conjunction with its tenth anniversary, Kilo Singapore reopens at 97 Duxton Road with an evolved concept on 19 Oct 2021.

The new food menu brings diners on a journey through Latin America and it features an open format natural flame kitchen with wood-fired grill.

“Parrilla” Argentina when directly translated means grill, and also refers to an establishment that specialises in grilling; this takes the centre stage of the kitchen at Kilo Singapore where you can watch the chefs in actions.

Kilo Singapore is using two main types of wood for the grill—apple and cherry—to give an aromatic flavour to the grilled meat and seafood dishes.

They have a new dry-age machine where they store prime cuts including

• T-Bone Wagyu 1.1kg
• Australian Angus Rib Eye 550g
• Argentinian Grass Fed Rib Eye 500gm.

The cuts from Charcoal Fired Grill segment are served with sides of Kilo Fries and Chargrilled Romaine Lettuce.

Other than meat, there is also a selection of seafood dishes to choose from. From the seafood display, pick your seafood of choice:

• fish of the day
• oyster
• clams
• mussels
• Grilled Argentinian Red Prawn Skewers with Tomato & Corn Salsa
• White Clams with White Wine & Garlic

A laid-back, casual dining space nestled in serene Quayside Isle, Sabio By The Sea exudes a stylish charm perfect for a date, or a casual dinner by the docks. Their food and array of cocktails lean towards traditional Spanish but are all refreshingly unique and made using high-quality ingredients.

A glass of sangria in one hand and a repertoire of delicious food in another, be prepared for one gastronomic fiesta you won’t forget.

PULPO A LA GALLEGA

Undeniably the highlight of our meal, the Pulpo A La Gallega (S$18++) impressed us with its robust flavours and lovely texture. In this dish, the octopus is cooked simply in a mixture of paprika, olive oil and lemon, bringing out the natural sweetness of the octopus and giving it a charred quality that amped up its flavour tenfold.

CHORIZO AL VINO

As far as quality Spanish sausages go, you won’t go wrong with the Chorizo Al Vino (S$14++). Smoky with a heady aroma of paprika, the sausages were beautifully charred on the outside while remaining soft and sweet in the middle.

CHURROS

A quintessential confectionery at any Spanish restaurant is, of course, Churros (S$11++). Here, their churros are surprisingly light and crispy from edge to edge, making it hard to resist seconds or even thirds. The chocolate sauce served alongside it? Just divine.
