Had wine dinner at Las Pampas (36 Club Street, Singapore 069469) with a group of friends on Tuesday night. This is a South American/Spanish theme restaurant. We took the set dinner which came with king prawn with angel hair pasta, roast suckling pig, seafood paella, and Valrhona chocolate cake. The king prawn with angel hair pasta is ordinary, the roast suckling pig has too much fat and seems more like coming from a mature pig rather than a suckling pig. I would prefer the Chinese style suckling pig anytime. The seafood paella is quite good but they are cooked in batch and the chef did not take care in making sure that every plate served has the right amount of seafood -- my seafood paella had no squid whereas those of my friends had. The Valrhona chocolate cake redeemed the night. The melted chocolate oozing out of the warm cake is just heavenly.

If you like French food, head to Les Amis next door, the parent company. Great food, but still not as good as the ones i had in Barcelona, which till this day, has the most heavenly soup i ever tried.
