FOC PIM PAM

Just can’t go wrong with that combination. The crab ($12) and mushroom ($10) croquettes were amazing, as expected. However we found the seafood paella ($35) a pity cuz everything else was right except that is was too salty for us.

Out of the trinity of foods, I feel that the tapas fared the best out of all. The PIM PAM Trinxat ($20) particularly caught my attention at first glance of the menu as the plate comes with pan fried mashed potatoes, cabbage, stewed pig’s ear, eggs and kale. This combination is something that I haven’t heard or tried before which pique my interest instantly. Upon the first bite, you will experience a myriad of textures from the crispy potatoes and kale, followed by the chewy pig’s ear while the egg when mixed into it provides a creamy consistency and flavour. It was followed with the Iberico Pork Secreto & Mushroom Paella ($33) which packs a bite but it was not as filling. Last but not least, the quintessential Spanish dessert, the classic Churros with Chocolate Sauce ($6). Nothing to shout about for the churros as it might have been in the fryer for a little over as I preferred mine slightly less crisper with more bite.

Had the squid Ink Paella at FOC PIM PAM with the 50% Singtel discount.

Haven't had many paellas, but this seemed to be a pretty competent rendition, with a nice smoky squid ink sauce and little squid nuggets scattered in between. The rice was nice, albeit a tiny bit hard (though understandable given it's a paella). Came with 4 dollops of garlic aioli topped with prawns, though it was a little unfortunate that the flavour of the aioli wasn't really discernible when mixed into the paella, having been slightly masked by the squid Ink sauce.
