Saturday (15 Apr 06) was our long awaited day for the musical "West Side Story" at Esplanade. There are 4 of us: Chup, Lily, Lina & myself.

We met early for dinner and the venue was at Via Mar, a Spanish Restaurant & Bar at Esplanade.

Some recommended dishes:
- escargots with garlic and butter
- croquette (2 types: mushroom & spinach and seafood) Both great!
- deep fried cheeze sticks
- deep fried fresh mushrooms

Their bread was terrible. Tasted like some cheap bread from Giant or mamak stalls.

We had squid ink Paella. I think it was just okay... My recommendation, go for the tappas. Especially those with the "shell" logo printed next to them, indicating "Chef Recommendations".

If you are watching a show in Esplanade, show them your tickets, get it stamped, and you'd get 10% off your bill for the dinner.

After the show, pop by again for drinks and snacks, and you will get 20% off your drinks. A very clever idea I must say.
