Singapore food has been in the spotlight for the past few years - Singaporeans know and love their eats, almost obsessively so - and the Royal Plaza on Scotts (compare prices|buy direct) is about to give Singaporeans and Singapore visitors alike something new to obsess over.

The Royal Plaza's restaurant Carousel will be dishing up Moorish cuisine from Southern Spain, between July 21  and August 18, 2012. Distinguished Spanish guest chef, Esmeraldo Oteruelo, has been asked back to present a sumptuous feast for Carousel's buffet: Carrillera de Ternera Tajine (Moorish-style veal cheeks), Tajine de Pisto Manchego (vegetable stew), and seafood in a number of delightful preparations, from Paella Morisca (Moorish seafood paella) to Lubina Charmula (charmula seabass) to Vieras Mozarabes (sea scallops with saffron sauce).

Chef Esmeraldo's culinary experience spans the globe, having served in kitchens from Switzerland to Indonesia. Seafood is his main stock in trade, and his work exemplifies his belief in simplicity in preparation, all the more to retain each dish's natural sweetness and freshest flavors.

Guests can look forward to savouring Chef Esmeraldo's dishes at SGD 78++ during the dinner meal period, from 6:30pm to 10:30pm daily. Guests can contact Carousel at +65 6589 7799 or carousel@royalplaza.com.sg for enquiries, or visit www.carouselbuffet.com.sg for online reservations.
