At this <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/new-restaurants-menus-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new restaurant in Singapore<\/a> (well, newly reopened), the decor blends the usual restaurant design with unexpected surprises. Venturing inward, I spotted two rows of mirrors on another wall, which were shaped to resemble Barcelona\u2019s cityscape from an aerial view. It\u2019s a playful nod to the restaurant\u2019s Catalan roots, no surprise if it still holds its reign as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/spanish-restaurants-in-singapore\/\">best Spanish restaurants in Singapore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, FOC Restaurant was once housed at Hong Kong Street for 11 years until it temporarily closed for a revamp.

This morsel sports an unassuming size, but it\u2019s the starter I\u2019m still dreaming of. The salted caramel butter almost tastes like it belongs in a dessert, but it goes swimmingly well with the savoury, briny flavour of the anchovies.

Snag a seat by the counter and you\u2019ll see the ham sliced in front of you. Each slice is deliciously salty and cut to the ideal thinness. The bread and tomatoes cut through the saltiness for a lighter bite with a bright tanginess. Full disclosure: I\u2019m typically not a fan of tomatoes, but something about this combination made it unexpectedly pleasant, even on my palate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328108\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328108\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-328108 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-wagyu-beef-tartare-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"foc wagyu beef tartare\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-wagyu-beef-tartare-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-wagyu-beef-tartare-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-wagyu-beef-tartare.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-328108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Not one to stop at two starters, my dining companion and I ordered a third \u2013 and we\u2019re glad we did. The dry-aged wagyu beef tartare on dry chipotle brioche ($20 for two pieces) is a must-try in our books. Served with a dollop of caramelised onion ice cream, slightly reminiscent of French onion soup, it added a deeper flavour to the dish, with a subtle hint of sweetness that elevated the restaurant\u2019s signature beef tartare. Complemented by a dash of mustard, this bite-sized snack packed an outsized punch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328110\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328110\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-328110 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/Patatas-Bravas-FOC-review-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Photography: Amelia Ang\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/Patatas-Bravas-FOC-review-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/Patatas-Bravas-FOC-review-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/Patatas-Bravas-FOC-review.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-328110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you thought three starters are too many for a table of two, let us convince you otherwise.

These steamed, layered, and deep-fried potato pieces had an incredibly satisfying bite, and we savoured them with dollops of sauce \u2013 the aioli added a creamy texture while the brava sauce gave it a piquant kick.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bigger-and-bolder-dishes-to-try\"><\/span>Bigger and bolder dishes to try<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328111\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-328111 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-restaurant-octopus-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"foc restaurant octopus\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-restaurant-octopus-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-restaurant-octopus-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/foc-restaurant-octopus.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-328111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The charcoal-grilled octopus ($34) greeted the table with the delicious aroma of the grill.
