Cafe Iguana - Cool Mexican Restaurant at Clark Quay

Cafe Iguana was founded in 2000 by two Americans, Devin Otto Kimble and Chilean Daniel Flores who felt that Singapore need a good Mexican restaurant. Cafe Iguana is run by the same people behind Brewerkz. 

I was on my way to attend a talk at Riverside Point and I wanted to have dinner first because the talk was scheduled to end at 10pm, which is much too late for dinner. 

 
Located along the Singapore River, Cafe Iguana is an assembly of colorful chairs, olive green tables and a fully-stocked bar counter. 
 

 

 
I have managed to take pictures of the menu, but you can also find the menu on their website.
 

 

 
 The Quesadillas, although a little expensive, are very well-done. The original quesadilla only comes with cheese, but I topped-up for additional chicken, and boy did I do the right thing. The tender chicken pieces are held together by melted cheese, enveloped in flour tortilla that has been cooked till slightly charred. It is fantastic when eaten together with the salsa that accompanies the dish. 
 
 
Churros is a Spanish snack, so I was a little surprised to find it in a Mexican restaurant. Intrigued, I ordered one to try. The star-shaped choux pastry is sprinkled with sweet cinnamon and served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream and chocolate sauce. Decorated with raspberry and blueberries, it looks appetizing, but underdelivers in terms of tastes. Even though sprinkled with sweet cinnamon sugar, the churros sticks taste rather blend. The vanilla bean ice-cream does not have the creaminess of premium ice-cream and does absolutely nothing to elevate the taste of this desert. 
 
 
Cafe Iguana's margarita is one of their speciality, made with hand-squeezed lime juice and some of the world's best tequila. The 50% off all magaritas during happy hour sounds like a pretty good deal. 
 

Stocked with over 100 labels of agave tequila and mezcal, exclusive "Mexican-style" beer Iguna Lager brewed by Brewerkz which is only available at Cafe Iguana, Cafe Iguana's signature magaritas and a menu that promises authentic Mexican food, Cafe Iguana is the perfect place for chilling out with friends with good food, good drinks and a river view. 

Oh, Cafe Iguana does sponsorship, so if you want to have tequila at your next event, do drop them an email!

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
