My Little Spanish Place Boat Quay
Spanish food at its best: It’s been a while. We keep bumping into our mate Chef Edward just not in the restaurant. We even bumped into him in Cebu can you believe it? We have tried to get in to eat a few times recently, ad-hoc that’s a given, and he was fully-booked or we dined there and he was working the other location.
Sadly, today that was the same as he was up at Upper Bukit Timah branch. We wish you a VERY HAPPY XMAS Chef, we all miss you fella. Despite you not being there we had a lovely Xmas dinner under the watchful eyes of the Boat Quay crew.
As always let’s hear from My Little Spanish Place first; “Our philosophy is based on the Spanish saying, “Mi Casa es Su Casa”, which means “My House is Your House”. The first Spanish restaurant to be helmed by two chefs with strong Spanish heritage – Maria Sevillano from Salamanca, Spain and Edward Esmero from the Philippines, the restaurant boasts a full-fledged menu of Spanish home-style dishes and desserts.”
Let’s have a looksie…

Manchego is a sheep’s milk cheese from the region of La Mancha. At 12 months ageing, the cheese is firm, but not hard, & has fruity, nutty & tangy flavours.
San Simon is a smoked, semi-soft cow’s milk cheese from the Galicia region in Spain. It has a creamy, yellow colour, with a distinct smoky and buttery flavour.
Romero is a sheep’s milk cheese flavoured with rosemary. The cheese is firm, but not hard, and has creamy flavour.
We also had Croquetas de Jamon, AKA ham-stuffed creamy croquettes. I forgot to take a photo. My bad. I think they were served and devoured. Can I use that as my excuse? Delicious creamy and hammy bites that were so crunchy. Yummo.
An absolute cracking Christmas Dinner within the ‘5-only-allowance’ prior to Dec’28th. Chef Edward’s crew served up some delicious Spanish fare for us, making Xmas dinner 2020 @ My Little Spanish Place Boat Quay very special.
