What if I told you that there was a place you could go, somewhere not so far from home but feels approximately 17,455 km away? A place where enthusiastic Latin bands transport you to the beaches of Cuba and the smell of barbecued meat perfumes the air.
Nestled in the undergrowth of Sentosa’s greenery, Bob’s Bar provides an alfresco dining experience with views of the lush greenery and the sea in the distance. Besides the barstools and couches, the restaurant also provides beds with side tables so you can kick back and relax.
Havana Nights happens every Friday at Bob’s Bar, and is a new event featuring live Latin music, traditional barbecued and grilled meats from South America and the Caribbean. A selection of Cuban cigars is also available should you choose to fully commit to the experience.
The chicken had a pleasant smoky tang to it and it was moist and tender as well. The ribs were smeared in a jerk sauce that gave it a spicy and savoury kick. My only complaint is that it was a little too fatty for my taste and could have done with a bit of trimming.
My favourite component was the pork jowl. It was sweet and pleasantly fatty and had a great texture that wasn’t overly chewy with each bite excreting more and more flavour onto my taste buds.
The Platter is available at $50, but the items on the platter are available individually too. I’d recommend getting the platter instead of the items ala carte – it’s more value for money.
Capella is located in Sentosa. It’s best to drive or take a cab in. Follow the roundabout then turn into Gateway Avenue and take the first left after that.
