87 Amoy Street
Description : Spanish Restaurant in a Shophouse setting.
Jamon Iberico Croquette
Yesterday, my family had a treat, courtesy of my lovely wife. We booked this fantastic Spanish place, called Kulto, which is located at 87 Amoy Street. Bookings are all done online, and to prevent 'no shows' there MUST be a surchage of $25 per person, IF there is a no show for the reservation.
I must say, this strategy, will really kill off any fence sitters who are booking just for fun and then at the last minute they change their plans. So, the dishes, as described by me.
Jamon Iberico Croquette
===================
This tapas as a starter was exceptionally tasty, the crust was slightly crispy and the ham bits mixed with potato inside was a winner. Lovely to start the meal.
Grilled Octopus Galician Style
Grilled Octopous Galician Style
========================
This one was a little mystery to me at first. We have been to Spain a few times, and when I first ate this tapas, I thought this was some form of back bacon. The octopus flavour of the sea was too camoflaged by the red chilli pepper and yellow eggy paste. Once I realised the chewyness, I then realised it was octopus done in an unusual way. OK, I liked it once I realised what I was really eating.
Iberico Chorizo with Crispy Potato, Organic Egg and Fried Kale
Iberico Chorizo with Crispy Potato, Egg and Fried Kale
==========================================
This was my third favorite dish. The Chorizo sausage stood out for its taste (something like our preserved Chinese Lap Cheong sausage) and the crispy potato, the onsen style egg and the fried kale made this dish a must try the next visit when I do get to visit.
Roasted Cauliflower Garlic Chilli Sauce, Mint Yoghurt and Hazelnuts
Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic Chilli Sauce, Mint Yoghurt and Hazelnuts
=======================================================
The 'healthy option'. The cauliflower was nice, the hazelnuts stood out and the mint yoghurt gave this savoury dish some 'oomph'. Though it wasnt one of my top 3 favorites, I would say it is a necessary dish given there was little vegetables ordered.
Seafood Paella
(Seabass, Prawns, Clams and Mussels)
Seafood Paella
============
The Piece de Resistance meal. The one that all of us gave a 11 over 10 rating. The seafood Paella which everybody raves about long after the meal is eaten, the reviews made and the memories locked in our basal ganglia. The seafood paella is so fresh, the 4 prawns were literally jumping out of the hot plate, the mussels, the clams all had no fishy smell. They must have been airflown in probably on the same day.
The Paella rice was savoury and light, it was not sticking to the hot plate like in the other Spanish Restaurants. I must say this Paella rice is probably the best I have tasted in Singapore. (I have tried TInto, Asador, Pura Brasa and La Taperia).
My Favourite Dish of last Evening.
Aged Rib Eye with Mesclun Salad and Organic Peppers (500 g)
=============================================
One phase.
"Out of this world"
The marbling on this ribeye must have been M5 or M6, and while it literally melts in your mouth, the savory aspect of it, makes you want to come back for more.
My second favourite dish of the evening.
Kulto Cheesecake
A fantastic end to a really superb meal ! The Kulto Cheesecake was not too densely packed, and the raspberry icecream, with the biscotti bits made this a grand finale to a truly unforgettable meal ! A must try. The head Maitre 'D gave this to us as an 'on the house' offering and really made our day !

Food : 4.8 out of 5
Service : 4.8 out of 5
Ambience : 4.0 out of 5
Satisfaction: 5.0 out of 5.
