Carles abellan biography channel 7

Work of the innovative Carles Abellan, and it has two hidden corners – on the lower ground Ƃoor is an area reserved for seven people with personalised menus.

Imagine my surprise when I received a press release about their new menu launch, revealing that they are not just some run-of-the-mill Spanish Restaurant. This is, in fact, only their third restaurant and their first outside of Spain. Even more astonishing was discovering that the owner is a two Michelin Star Chef from Barcelona, who once graced the kitchens of El Bulli.

Now, I am sure you would agree, that it is a restaurant worth checking out! Spanish Tapas is one of those things that I love. The fact is I love small plates of any sort! Be it at a Dim Sum, Izakaya, hawker centre, or cafe. I just like many small servings of delightful deliciousness to tingle the taste buds. But, I have had my share of mediocre tapas in Singapore.

Places that use tasteless prawns, mediocre olive oil, and punchless pimenton abound. Tapas is actually not complicated, which is why attention to detail matters! And I am glad to report that Tapas 24 delivers on that.

I'm Gypsy Chef and I'm the creator of ADRIFT – a collection of unique and captivating culinary concepts that are inspired by my travels around the world.

I met Chef Carles recently when he was in Singapore to work on new menu dishes. Since their opening in , he and his wife have spent several weeks here every year to ensure that the restaurant is up to his exacting standards. I was absolutely bowled over by her enthusiasm for her craft. She took me to the kitchen to show me all the authentic Spanish ingredients that they are using at the restaurant!
