I think this is my first or second time having Eurasian food but this is definitely my first time dining here. I have read about this place and the museum on Eurasian history a few years ago. It is very interesting. Unfortunately the museum was closed when we were there but I would want to visit it some day. I have heard of the more famous Eurasian dishes like Feng and devil curry. Some dishes were similar to Peranakan food, like chap chye. We decided to share chap chye, prawn bostador and oxtail devil curry with rice. I liked the food though I found the chap chye not as soft as expected. I loved the gravy of the devil curry, oxtail not so much. My friend much preferred the prawn bostador. The complimentary fish crackers with two types of sambal was yummy. But eat them fast as they went soft after a while. I would want to come back again to try other dishes. Parking is available on the grounds and underground.

If you crave Eurasian food and oldies live music, Quentin's the place for you. My favorite part of the whole evening was going out to the open air area, having drinks and singing along to 70s and 80s music. Food was tasty. They bring out shrimp crackers with sambal belacan for dipping. I liked the fried spam and Ngoh Hiang, Pork rolls wrapped with soya bean skin. The stewed and braised food was delicious also. It was a really fun evening at the Eurasian Community Club!

You could say that Eurasian cuisine is the original Asian-fusion - East meets West with a whole lot of spice. Think dishes like oxtail curry, black ink calamari, chilli prawns, and roast beef. All lovely dishes with plenty of sauce and rich flavor to accompany the rice. Some of the curry dishes are surprisingly spicy - a slow build but packs a lot of heat later. Balance out the spice with some veggies like tumeric cabbage or chap chye. All in, worth the chili sweats. Low key during weekday lunch and kid-friendly. Quentin's is a good place to spice up your usual lunch routine.

Among the best meals of my life, and if it wasn't for the dry pork belly, would have been a full on 5-stars! I went here with a local colleague and basically left menu choices in his hands, and thus ended up with fabulous food (in the majority) that was just gorgeously cooked and soul-satisfying. Between the 3 of us, we ordered Water Spinach dish (Vegetarian), Eggplant dish (vegetarian), Squid Ink sauce with Calamari, Pork Belly (along with rice as an accompaniment) and then to end the meal, we got Sugee Cake as the dessert option. The majority of the food just tasted really awesome and extraordinary, and the only major disappointment was the Pork Belly - this was just so super dry, and a real struggle to chew. In contrast, the eggplant dish was melt in the mouth delicious and i enjoyed the heartiness of the water spinach dish too. My fave dish however was the Squid Ink sauce with Calamari - the squid ink was so fresh, tasted exquisite and the calamari was super tender, plus juicy and savory, with a wonderful, clean seafood taste. The Sugee Cake was a grand way to finish off the meal - I have never eaten sugee aka semolina or cream of wheat in a cake before, but I am a fan now, and am definitely looking at recipes online to tiger out how i can recreate this dessert in my own kitchen. I would def recommend this restaurant and would go try other dishes when/ if in Singapore again.

An Easterner's hidden pleasure. I almost don't want to mention this place so that I have it to myself. Which would be selfish. Not that I care, but I do want Quentins to thrive for many more years. Almost everything is fab. If you are a Eurasian food neophyte, order the weirdest things you can find. You will discover tastes and textures that are unique and awesome. Call outs: Itek Tim and the corn beef fried rice and the petai. And the siobak. And the...you get the picture. Additional bonus: you might catch a glimpse of our ex-President, who lives across the road. Lucky him. Can ta pao easily.

My first time trying Eurasian cuisine and I loved it! The restaurant is in a tranquil part of the east side, and ample public parking just beside the restaurant. We ordered a lot of dishes and they all tasted great, by and large. Here's a low down : Appetizers Keropok with Sambal balacan- fresh, crunchy as you would expect Devil's wings - 3 full wings per serving. Well seasoned and well fried without much residual oil. Wings were a little on the scrawny side but apart from that, no complains. Meat cutlet - 2 huge fried "begedels" lookalike. Filled with minced meat and potato. Well fried and yet not dry. Shepard's pie - comfort food with a homemade taste. Mom in law tasted some lamb inside so watch out if you can't stand lamb. Mains Pot roast beef - sliced roast beef that was a bit tough. I didn't enjoy this. Cooked with lots of caramlized onions that were delicious. Fried beef steak - with a delicious black pepper sauce, potatoes and tomatoes. I loved this dish. Beware, it's a vehicle for rice loading! Baked fish fillet - a piece of white fish that was fried first before a layer of spicy rempah smothered it all over and baked on banana leaf. Taste wise, this dish really hit the spot. A bit sweet, a bit spicy and sourish. But the fish filet was a little mushy and soft. Either not fresh, or the type of fish didn't really stand up to the robustness of such a sauce. Pineapple prawn curry - About 6 large prawns with a sweet and sourish pineapple curry gravy that was deliciously addictive to slurp on its own. Prawns were meaty and fresh but didn't really absorb the flavor of the gravy. Shame. Fried eggplant - eggplant was soft and absorbs the taste of the spicy gravy. Chap Chye - another hit with me. It's comfort food. Lots of miso (bean paste) and a mix of vegetables. I like that the cabbage isn't stewed until it's super soft. That's a personal preference :) Desserts Sago Melaka - not rich enough and the gula melaka is not powerful Sugee cake - average Live music starts about 8:30pm and there's a playroom for kids. Perfect for families !

To tell you honestly I didn't know what a Eurasian was until I visited Quentin and the Eurasian community house. For those who don't know, Eurasian refers to people mixed Asian and European ancestry, which I would discover are quite prevalent in South East Asia. I had very low expectations of Quentin's coming in. There wasn't much fan fare on Yelp and no one in my neighborhood was raving about them. Boy was I dead wrong! Quentin's patrons are more often than not regulars. Seriously, who would pass up a cuisine where east meets west is a real treat. My wife and I had the Cambrang Bostador, which according to the restaurant website is "a thick coconut based prawn-dish in a luscious union with sliced green chilies and a blend of fresh local herb." Simply, wow! Mixed with the free flow of rice, I was in heaven. The other dish we tried was the Kristang beef stew. The dish was good, but not memorable. Overall, Quentin's has a amazing selection of dishes, especially if you love SPICY food. My wife and I tried to stay away from the Spicy dishes during our first visit for the simple fact we didn't know what to expect. However, given how good the Cambrang Bostador was, I'm definitely going to be a little more adventurous the next time around!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to try Eurasian food. Quentin's is the best (and one of the handful of places in Singapore) to give it a try! According to my sources, Eurasian cuisine is a fusion of Portuguese dishes with Malaysian and Indian spices. If you're into spicy food, you'll have a lot to choose from. I can take a little spice, but my husband can't take too much, so we had to ask our server for recommendations. As the portions are meant to be shared, we tried one seafood and one meat dish. The Cambrang Bostador are prawns cooked in a coconut curry- flavourful without being spicy! Unfortunately I am blanking out on the meat dish that we had; looking at the picture and the menu, I'm going to guess it was the Kristang style beef stew. (Or was it the oxtail?) Either way, it tasted very familiar... but different. In a good way! If I had to choose between the two, it'd be a difficult decision, as they are different flavour profiles and both so delicious! But I think I'd go with the prawns. The free flow white rice is a nice touch. My only feedback is that they might be slightly understaffed. Other than that, the food is amazing and they are close to where I live. They're getting all 5 stars from me!

Quite possibly the only Eurasian restaurant I know of in Singapore. And how fitting it is that its in the Eurasian Association. The food is as authentically eurasian as it gets. I've been here a few times and some of my favourite dishes include the sambal kang kong, curry devil, roast beef and black ink calamari. I doubt youd be able to find, as eurasian a meal as you can at Quentins, elsewhere. If you're feeling adventurous or traditional (for eurasians) waste no time and go there now!
