chorizo & egg
son was back for summer holidays. this evening we went to FOC for a family dinner on 27.8.2015.^^

foc restaurant
restaurant has a chic ambience.

foc restaurant
it is supposed to be for fine food & fun dining from barcelona. for us, it’s tapas. 🙂

FOC supposed to be fire in catalan.

chorizo & egg
chorizo & egg was a good start. its was a good tasty dish, the egg gave it a silky texture. maybe its a bit like my spanish omelette but deconstructed, no?

ham croquettes
like the ham croquettes.

mushroom croquettes
at first taste, the mushroom croquettes had much more intense flavours & bested the ham croquettes by comparison. but i tried the ham croquettes again & it had a very nice lingering flavour. i like both. ^^

patatas bravas
the patatas bravas, a deep-fried potato dish was very good too.

patatas bravas
really well done enjoyable dish.

pork trotters carpaccio
the pork trotters carpaccio was delightful.

pork trotters carpaccio
especially with the condiments & sauce it came in.

slow braised & grilled octopus
the slow braised octopus was excellent too.

slow braised & grilled octopus
taste & texture wise, it was almost comparable with the very good ones i tried recently –
the grilled cotopus dish at da luca
the octopus dish at zafferano
& i still prefer the tako kakiage at mikuni. ^^

squid ink paella
i think this squidink paella is the best of all squidink i had. really flavourful, smooth & buttery. good enough for us to order a second serving.

squid ink risotto
i think it is better than (maybe) the dish i squid risotto i had at follia (which was outstanding).
& my own very good squidink pasta.
kith’s squidink pasta would be quite behind by comparison.

scampi fiduea alio olio
the first serving of scampi fiduea alio olio was excellent, very sweet, tasty, intense. unfortunately there was a hair in it!

scampi fiduea alio olio
restaurant did the right thing & replaced it with a new dish. again unfortunately the new dish was not tasty as before. i guess hair made a difference to the taste? :-p

rack of lamb
rack of lamb was pretty ok.

rack of lamb
it was very tender yes, but actually flavour-wise, my own pistachio crusted rack of lamb was a lot better!

iberico pork rack
the iberico pork rack was superb!

iberico pork rack
not only it was fork tender & yet not sinewy, it was very flavourful, excellent!

foc restaurant
the hanging sculpture.

chocolate galaxy
daughter wanted to try the chocolate galaxy.
it’s the chocolate bomb i thought of trying for my anniversary dinner but didn’t.

apple tart
we tried the apple tart. it was ok, nothing special & can do without. nothing like da luca’s crispy apple tart!

french toast
the french toast was good. looked at a dessert i may try myself at home.
i think minus the drinks it was about S$50pax. not cheap but doable.
