QMO is a revamped and rebranded restaurant from Quemo, which used to be a Spanish restaurant. Ship Street is very well known with its overwhelmingly amazing Spanish cuisine but QMO is now serving European focus cuisine featuring lots of French and Italian ingredients and innovative elements.

The interior still looked very chic and modern with an open bar right next to the entrance, decorated with dimmed red light.

At the back of the restaurant, a seafood display has been showcased with their daily freshly imported seafood from all over the world. You may order them based on market price.

By the time we went there, we saw a very well stocked oysters selection in the fridge, however, we rather opt for some cooked dishes today.

The front of the menu showed there all the different seafood are from. Which one is your favourite?

Before our food arrived, we have tried some of their signature colour cocktails prepared by their in-house mixologist.

Q Ship ($138)

Gin mare, blue curacao, lychee liquor, peach schnapps, sprite. It was pretty light with a sexy blue colour to it.

Cucumber Rumble ($98)

The white colour cocktail consists of rum, sake, fresh lychee, cucumber, and sprite. It was comparatively sweeter than the Q Ship cocktail, yet with a stronger lychee flavour.

Italian baby shrimps, tomato, olive oil caviar ($228)

Italian baby shrimps, tomato, olive oil caviar ($228)

The Italian baby shrimps were not only cute but packed with an intense sweet seafood flavour, pairing with the Spanish firm tomato, and molecular caviar filled with olive oil, sprinkled with some crispy corn (Kiko in Spanish?)

The olive oil caviar was transparent and fun to eat. The oil blended the saltiness from the shrimp, the intense aromatic corn flavour, and the light refreshing tomato, together.

The tomatoes were super fresh with a rather hard firm texture. It doesn't have the usual grass taste from our own local produce. It tasted so refreshing that it was almost irressistable (even for people who don't eat tomatoes).

Crystal bread with tomato ($58)

Crystal bread with tomato ($58)

This dish really reminded me of my last visit to Barcelona. My friend used to prepare this dish for me by scrapping the fresh tomato meat onto some toast, my friend will then throw away the tomato skin when the meat has all come out.

This particular cystal bread was imported directly frozen from Barcelona, Spain. It was surprisingly crispy with a nice subtle yeast taste. The tomato on top was undoubtly sweet complimented with some sea salt sprinkled on top.

Octopus carpaccio, potato foam, Idiazabal cheese ($138)

Octopus carpaccio, potato foam, Idiazabal cheese ($138)

Their Spain imported octopus was thinly sliced and was super soft. The carpaccio was topped wiht some really creamy, smooth, and light potato foam, and some pesto vinegratte made with thyme, pepperika, and rosemary.

Again, the flavour was just perfectly balanced with just the right amount of saltiness from the octopus and the pungent rosemary taste was lightened with the potato foam.

French hake, clams, asparagus ($168)

French hake, clams, asparagus ($168)

The hake was swimming in white wine fish stock which was cloudy and a little bit similar to those Chinese fish soup. The asapragus sitting on top was thick but young with no hard fiber whatsoever.

The clams were very savoury from its own seawater taste which was not too overpowering and was actually enjoyable.

Lastly, the hake was just prepared to perfect with just the right doneness. The almost pink colour centre was almost transparent whcih was amazingly soft, moist, juicy, yet without any stinky fishiness. Even people who don't eat fish loved this dish! <3

Iberico pork shoulder from JOSPER (150g) ($208)

We have also ordered one more meat dish which uses the prileged Iberico pork but this time it's not the ham but the actual shoulder meat.

The pork was sitting on top of a bed of super creamy almost velvety potato mash, then topped with a pile of crispy housemade potato crisps.

The pork itself was semi-tender with a light chew to it. The pork flavour was quite strong but not too porky which I liked. It was not bad at all but I wish it was slightly tender.

Lemongrass cheese cake, walnut, honey foam ($78)

Lemongrass cheese cake, walnut, honey foam ($78)

The cheesecake has lemongrass infused into the cake itself, topped with some only slightly sweetened honey foam, and crispy walnut in some nutty sauce.

Thecake was super moist itself and it was surprisingly in almost room tempreture. The cake was light in cheese flavour and light in texture as well. It was quite a unique way to enjoy cheesecake and it doesn't hurt to try, I would say.

Egg waffle, peanut & passion fruit sorbet ($88)

Egg waffle, peanut & passion fruit sorbet ($88)

Comparatively, this is a more indulging dessert with a scoop of sweet and sour passion fruit sorbet, served with some vanilla cream, nutella and peanut sauce, as well as some egglette inspired egg waffle using the batter that is similar to the Dutch pancakes (Poffertjes), on top there was some caramel sauce as well! The Yin Yang inspired plating was like an eye-candy.

In terms of the taste, the flavourful egg taste from the waffle complimented nicely with the sourness, sweetness, and the nuttiness from everything else. The very complex flavour was a great dessert experience and I really enjoyed every bite of it.
