FOC Restaurant - One of the best Spanish
Every dish served at FOC will never fail to wow you, in terms of both the creative presentation and exquisite taste. At one glance, youโll know that plating is definitely of high priority here, and of course, also their amazing service staff who showers you with all the attention you need.
For the love of Spanish food, some of the items that you have to order which will blow your mind away - Patatas Brava, Squid Ink Paella, Suckling Pig Paella, Grilled Pork Ribs (melt-in-your-mouth).
Tip: Portion size is on the smaller side, so you may have to order quite a few items on the menu especially when dining out with a group of people.

Authentic Spanish ๐ช๐ธfood in Singapore
#singapore
Singapore is a culinary hub - you can find all kinds of cuisines here, so having an authentic Spanish meal here is possible! Located in the heart of the city centre on Guoco Tower's ground floor, Pura Brasa is an excellent option for those wanting a taste of Spain.
Pura Brasa was actually started by Josper - yes, the iconic brand of charcoal ovens. It's also the only Pura Brasa outlet outside of Spain. The restaurant features an open kitchen with modern dining, and offers an extensive menu: tapas, fish, meat, even desserts. The main highlight here is their preferred method of grilling.
Dishes I tried at Pura Brasa that were fantasic:
Grilled Boneless Chicken Thigh
Black Angus Sirloin
Charcoal Seafood Paella
They have an extensive menu for wine too! Overall, a great choice to have authentic Spanish food. Highly recommend this for families and couples seeking a memorable dining experience.

Ambiance/Facilities - Modern, open, romantic, spacious

New Spanish Restaurant in Haikou ๐ฅ
๐Casa Isla Spain Wine House, Friendship International Trade City D Unit Floor 1 1 FD002 Store, Longhua, Haikou, Hainan China.
New Spanish restaurant in town. We tried a few dishes and all of them were nice! They didnโt have many of the dishes from the menu but I guess because it is new. I canโt wait for ordering fideuรก or paella!

A bit modern Spanish flavor in Makati
Las Flores
Address - Level 1, 3 Greenbelt Dr, Makati, 1228 Metro Manila,l
Ambiance/Facilities - This Spanish restaurant is situated in the green nature of greenbelt park. If it isnโt too hot then you can sit outside and feel part of nature while throwing some Spanish flavored food over your taste buds. If you are not up for the heat then you can sit inside the modern styled restaurant. The menu is very interesting with a different style from the usual restaurant. For my visit we took a Mix Platter with a salmon & salmon plate.
Highlights - The interesting food and the location of the restaurant is very convenient.

Easter Lunch at the Historic Alkaff Mansion
Wildseed Cafe
Address - The Allaff Mansion 10 Telok Blangah Green, Singapore
Ambiance - cozy, casual but classy
Ave. Price per Person - 50SGD ++ (Wildseed Cafe only)
Trip experience rating - ๐๐๐๐๐ out of five stars
The Alkaff Mansion is atop Telok Blangah Hill. Lush trees and other greenery surround it. Itโs ambiance gives off a calming vibe which makes it a great venue to meet family or friends if you want to escape the busy restaurants or nightlife in the city. Currently, it has three dining options in itโs vicinity - al fresco terrace dining at TXA Gastrobar, Wildseed Cafe at itโs ground level and UNA at itโs second floor.
I learned online itโs a historic mansion, built since 1918 but then eventually developed into a dining establishment. There are several sites online (e.g. Wikipedia, Alkaff, etc) which details itโs rich history - how it came to be what it was now from being a private residence and having risen from a state of disrepair post-World War 2 after being sold off.
I was treated to a lunch at Wildseed Cafe. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I noticed that most of patrons who have pets stay outdoors (yes, they are a pet-friendly cafe).
There were a lot of food & drink items to choose from! We were only two so we settled for truffle mayonnaise curly fries for appetizer, pasta dishes as mains, fresh calamansi juice for drinks, tiramisu & brownie for sweets and mocha & salted caramel latte to end our meal. Mains ordered were superb - but if you are a light eater, you may have to share ;) Their tiramisu, for me, lacks a bit of a โpunchโ & the texture of their brownie can be improved. Surprisingly, their coffee was great!!! Given the taste and serving portion of their food, for me, itโs great value for money.
I will definitely be back at The Alkaff Mansion at nighttime, with friends, so we can sample food and drinks at their gastrobar :)

Tapas Hour and Brunch at Sabio by The Sea
Address - 31 Ocean Way 01-02 Quayside Isle
Ambiance/Facilities - chill, casual / indoor and outdoor dining
Highlights - promos like Tapas Hour and Hangover Brunch; nice view of the yachts or marina
Avg. Price per Person -
SGD 35++ to SGD 65++ for Tapas Hour;
SGD 70 ++ for Hangover Brunch
Rating - ๐๐๐๐
This was one of the places I first went to after the lockdown due the pandemic. First time here, me and my friend enjoyed our Tapas (happy) Hour! Most of the photos posted are what we ordered when we availed of the 5-tapas promo. I especially liked the gambas and meatballs. It was the first time I tried (red) Sangria too.
My cousin also hosted a post-Christmas get-together at this resto. We got to try their Hangover Brunch and it was so worth it!!!! Our group of five tried to sample as much as we can from their menuโฆ so much so we ate until almost 3PM (we got there around noon and their hangover brunch ends at 3:30 PM). You can visit their website to see the brunch menu but for me, I canโt get enough of their Queso (their cheese platter), Atun a la Parilla (grilled tuna steak) and Ceviche de Gambas. My friends liked their El Pulpo and Pan Con Sardinas - but am not a big fan of octopus and sardines so I didnโt try it. Their Guacamole & Queso Manchego Beef Burger was also a hit!!!! I wasnโt able to take pictures of individual foods during brunch but the last photo is attempt to show you some of the foods we ordered. ๐ You can probably see some of the octopus, sardines, gambas, chicken wings and beef carpaccio. ๐๐๐ The food serving is not big but enough for a group of five to share/sample it. Just order again if the group likes a certain dish.
This is a nice place to get-together with friends or have a family brunch. Depending on your appetite, you can get more than your moneyโs worth! But if youโre a light eater, just go for their ala carte menu. Also note that for the hangover brunch, you need to consume 80% of food on the plate or else, full price of the dish will be charged.

The Optimist (Wan Chai)
Stepping into the emerald-green @theoptimisthk is just like entering an urban tropical jungle with authentic Northern Spanish gourmet ๐ฟ We came for restaurant week last year and tasted some of their signature dishes that can still be found on the menu
One thing that can always be expected from @piratagrouphk restaurants is the generous hospitality despite no service charge ๐ฅฐ Our experience here was no exception - kudos to our friendly waiter who offered us coffee and tea on the house!
[๐๐ซ๐จ๐ค๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฌ ๐.๐]
The soft confit potato base was topped with a delicate poached egg and loads of iberico ham for the ultimate comfort food. The only flaw was that it was a little too salty and oily for my liking ๐คจ

Delectably paired with lemon cream and almond crunches, the egg flan was absolutely amazing and the sweetness level was just right ๐

La Gusta Vieja in Fuengirola
If youโre in to Spanish delicacies or just want to experience the very best of Spanish food, you definitely should go to La Gusta Vieja.
The place is dedicated to local delicacies only. There are wines, ham, cheese and many other kinds of Spanish food available. Despite the small shop, there are so many different varieties. I went there to buy a gift and the staff arranged me a box filled with extremely delicious stuff. The price is not cheap but the quality is indeed superior.
You can find La Gusta Vieja from the center of Fuengirola, near La Plaza de La Constitutiรณn. The exact address is Avenue de la Estaciรณn 2. The place is within walking distance from the beach too.
The shop opens at 9:30 but keeps a siesta and is closed from 2 pm until 5 pm and then reopens and is open until 8:30 pm.

Great Spanish Food at FOC Sentosa
Sentosa is currently having their "Sentosa Food Fest" and have a bunch of dining deals and events for the November and December. This was part of their "restaurant trail" event, which FOC Sentosa was a part of.
The food was all Spanish cuisine and mostly tapas style though there was more of a focus of being and to be hand carried as it is a beach / pool restaurant and the food is focused on being able to be easily eaten while lazing around instead of having to use a plate and cutlery.
The potato churros were an interesting twist on french fries and had a great texture of crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
All the food was great but I felt that the food at their flagship restaurant at Hong Kong Street was still superior to this restaurant.
