ABBEY: One of our activities for our December celebration is to walk the beach line of Sentosa. It was still a few kilometers and we got hungry. The farthest beach we went to is Tanjong Beach and FOC Sentosa is just around the corner. They were able to accommodate us even though no reservation was made.
We decided to try their Pork Iberico Paella. It was sharing for 40SGD. After 20 minutes our food was served. The pork is tender and melts in your mouth. The fat mixed with rice is a delight. Talk about the rice grain? It is grain in steroids. Each is plump and big. Next thing we know is I’m scooping the crunchy burnt ends on the skillet.
FOC Sentosa Best Pork Paella in Singapore
FOC Sentosa
WILL: I am guilty! Yes! I am the one who encourages to try new things, new food, new experiences. And that is the reason we want to explore different cuisine like Mediterranean dish! That is why we went to FOC Sentosa after our beach line walk to complete our STRAVA’s challenge.
FOC Sentosa is not your ordinary restaurant. It is located at Palawan Beach and of course you can soak under the sun their daybeds or have a dip in their pools but make sure you have a prior booking as they are almost fully booked everyday.
We went there to dine and we ordered Iberico Pork Paella. Gosh! Expats are right, FOC serves one of the best paella in Singapore. The rice is still firm and rice is the real star of this viand. Unlike other paellas that's smothered by meat, this paella is simple and yet tasty. You will love the toasted rice sticking on the pan. Yummm!! The pork is tender as expected. Can still remember the aroma of the FOC’s Paella. We washed down the Pork Iberico Paella with their coffee.
Please visit and do not forget to book a reservation at FOC Sentosa.

ABBEY: Wilma tagged me in a post about a new bagel house near Dhoby Ghaut. So before we head to our main destination we went to Onalu Bagel Haus for breakfast. We were welcomed by a warm “Good Morning” from the staff and “bakery-smell” from the bagels.
We got sesame bagel with cream cheese and Something Fishy (bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon). When they serve you bagel they mean it. It was huge and can be shared (on my opinion). The bread is fresh as well as the fillings. The white walls and furnitures gave the ambiance a homey feel and vibrant. It’s as if telling you to relax and enjoy the bagel which we did.
People come on go to have their to-go coffee of sandwich.

WILL: Bagels are one of the topnotch bread here in Singapore due to it’s pricing. Of course there’s a cheap alternative but do not expect quality. Abbey and I always went for Tanjong Pagar to get our bagel-sandwich but now Abbey found a new gem in the heart of SMU.
It is the ONALU Bagel Haus. The first thing you will notice is that the well lit white space and their dining area that resembles just like in our houses. Well, it gives a homey feel.
We had the Somethin Fishy with Plain Bagel. I savour the bagel’s texture and my verdict is bagel at Onalu is absolutely on the standard. Not hard and not too soft; the quality of freshly baked bagels. The smoked salmon and cream makes the bagel, ahm..well my whole brunch extra special.
Say Cheese for only $4 will fill up your tummy and may last until tea time. It is a fulfilling breakfast for me!
ABBEY: Since the start of Christmas season, I suddenly have a craving for a hot chocolate. I picture it hot, creamy, slightly thick and rich in flavour.
It was satisfied by the signature chocolate of Angelina, L’Africain. But boy, it was priced at 13SGD. It was served on a tiny porcelain jug and whipped cream on the side. The taste of chocolate alone brings back memories and really fits the festive air. Adding the whipped cream makes it more thick and decadent. It is smooth till the last drop. I partnered it with egg croissant with smoked salmon.
But I’m telling you, the hot chocolate itself is enough. Try it and see for yourself.

WILL: Do you remember my post about the 18km morning walk for a breakfast? No? Please click this link below. Haha! Abbey is craving for a hot chocolate and he is feeling festive so we decided to get one of the best review hot chocolate in Singapore.. the Angelina at Marina Bay Sands. We walked for almost 4 hours. Great right?
Angelina is a French Cafe and they pride themselves on their hot chocolate. What can I say? Please continue on what you are doing with your creamy, smooth, not so sweet yet not bitter hot chocolate drink. They have a good partnering of black coffee and whip cream. I am awaken on this kind combination.
Their Éclair caramel beurre salé reminds me of eclair candy in the Philippines. Nostalgic and perfect to my black creamy coffee.
