A Taste of Colombia in Singapore

If you're looking for an authentic taste of Colombia right in the heart of Singapore, you must not miss Latido, Tanjong Pagar's newest restaurant sensation! Chef Arevalo takes diners on a gastronomic adventure with a menu inspired by traditional Colombian flavors, expertly blended with local influences gained from his 10 years in Singapore.

Signature Dishes

One standout dish is the Sopa Langosta (S$48), a luxurious twist on the classic Colombian ajiaco. This hearty soup features succulent lobster, various potatoes for diverse textures, and the signature herb, guascas, which brings warmth reminiscent of home-cooked meals in Bogotá. It’s a bowl of comfort that promises to delight your senses!

Don’t overlook the Bocados de Tiradito (S$16) – a fresh ceviche made from Spanish mackerel, elevated with the zing of tiger's milk and lime vinegar pearls. This dish is served in a unique coriander seed-infused kueh pie tee shell, showcasing Arevalo's mastery of fusion cuisine.

For those adventurous enough to try grilled delicacies, the Pincho de Corazones (S$22) boasts skewers of perfectly grilled chicken hearts served with a rich red wine and egg yolk sauce. Paired with crispy Andes potatoes fried in duck fat, this is not just a dish but a celebration of flavor! Chef Arevalo humorously quipped about the demand for this dish, likening it to running a yakitori joint, but it’s no wonder it stole the spotlight, aligning beautifully with the restaurant's name, which means "heartbeat" in Spanish.

The pièce de résistance is the Lechonsita, a succulent roasted suckling pig (available at S$38 for a 100g portion), slow-cooked for six hours and filled with a hearty mix of chickpeas and its own meat. Served alongside warm tortillas and pickled padron peppers, this dish brings the festive spirit of Colombian feasts to your table.

A Dynamic Culinary Experience

But that’s not all—Arevalo plans to rotate the menu every three months, offering new toppings for arepas and diverse fillings for empanadas, ensuring there’s always something exciting for repeat visitors.

Latido is more than just a restaurant; it's a vibrant hub for Colombian culture in Singapore. Immerse yourself in the rich traditions with decorative pieces crafted by Colombian artisans available for purchase.

Arevalo is also committed to introducing local fruits beloved in Colombia—like granadilla, lulo, and pink guava—making them accessible to Singaporeans. Plus, starting January, you can look forward to a weekend brunch that doubles as a farmer's market, where you can enjoy coffee and pastries while exploring fresh produce and flowers.

A Community Space

With a mission to elevate Colombian cuisine and culture, Chef Arevalo enthusiastically shares, “Latido is not limited to food. It’s a community space where everyone can experience the flavors, sights, and sounds of Colombia.
