FOC Sentosa Menu 2023 - a Review Update

We hadn’t been for so long and Wifey and I fancied a change from the norm of East Coast we went to FOC Sentosa to get stuck into the new FOC Sentosa Menu. And we are so glad we did. Jude Jude had an absolute ball playing in the pool and on the beach, the food was incredible, better than we remembered before, and we drank, chatted, laughed, people-watched with toes in the sand, warm breezes on our faces and wafting tunes in our ears. This is FOC Sentosa Menu – a Review Update.

Let's hear what FOC Sentosa have to say about themselves

"FOC Sentosa is a Mediterranean Restaurant and Beach Club inspired by Barcelona's world-famous beach culture. FOC Sentosa transforms from a relaxing morning hangout to an idyllic Mediterranean lunch spot and, come nighttime, a vibrant gastronomic getaway. All designed by local F&B aficionados and Michelin Star Chef, Nandu Jubany. Located at the east end of tranquil Palawan Beach, the tasteful and airy beachfront space is resplendent with bright interiors and panoramic views of the sea."

Yes, with Covid numbers relaxation the place was MOBBED. Like every single table, gazebo, beach lounger, and chair were taken. This surely is one of the best if not the best Sentosa Beach Restaurant.

FOC Sentosa new Menu 2023

Here's what we consumed off the new FOC Sentosa Menu

Spring Chicken marinated with Mediterranean Dressing. This was for Daddy & Jude Jude to share and what a beautiful dish this was. Incredible crispy skin with a stunning marinade, and just the juiciest chicken you may ever have. Yeah, this is one dish I’d have over and over again. Absolutely delicious.

@ $30

Wifey got stuck into this one and she rated it MASSIVELY because it was not overly ‘adjusted’. What I mean by that is that the octopus tasted of octopus and the sea, not of over marination. She is a stickler for that. And this was a berauty. Charcoal-grilled Octopus Leg with Chimichurri, Potatoes & Olives. Plus, how good does that look plated? A thing of beauty.

@ $44

I forgot to take a snap of some of the very best Jamon we have ever consumed. Damn. But I did get a loaf of bread photo haha.

Ibérico Ham 36-months cured Spanish Jamón Ibérico @ $32 is off-the-charts jamon. We ate this with the bread, which again is OFF-THE-CHARTS. Crispy-like bark and then hit it with that smoky butter – it is a HALLELUJAH moment.

Then add some salty cured Jamon. Boner!!! Home-made Sourdough Bread served with Smoked Butter, EVOO & Modena Balsamic Vinegar. @ $14

Then there is this amazing contraption sitting in the corner. I had to take a picture. Its meat dry-aging envy is all and not having the $10-20,000 free to buy one (but I really want one).

I did try a couple of times at home myself to great success. Once I did it in a wine fridge with a salt block for something like 90 days.

The other time I tried dry-aging using Koji Rice which was incredible as it only took less than a week. Quite incredible.

Ibérico Ham Croquetas. Deep-fried Croquettes with creamy Ibérico ham filling, 4pcs. Jude Jude loves these, as do I, so consequently we’re always comparing the ‘competition’. And goodness gracious me, the Croquetas at FOC on Sentosa are up there with the best of the best. Crackers.

@ $14

Even the drinks were spanking today. Jude Jude loves a good mocktail, as you can see.

Here he is getting stuck into a Virgin Mojito Passionfruit, Lemonade, Mint. BOOM!!!

One day it will be a cocktail proper haha.

@ $11

FOC Sentosa New Year's Day with The Knibbs

Keep reading down this review as we’re covering 2-in-one with our original review FOC Sentosa New Year’s Day with The Knibbs in 2020 and an updated version a couple of months back in 2022 post-Covid numbers relaxation. FOC Sentosa Menu 2022 – a Review Update.

PLEASE make sure you book when trying to come to FOC Beach Club. Use our Chope button above to get that done. We tried walk-in this day and were originally only available to be seated indoors, which sort of defeats the object of a beach restaurant. But luckily we were able to ‘migrate’ to two other tables afterwards nearer the beach and pool. Had we have booked it would have been so much more painless, and migratory.

Our BFFs, the Knibbsy’s, had a great idea to organize a brunch on New Year’s Day 2020, so off we trundle to Sentosa to a new restaurant for us, FOC.

FOC is pretty damned good folks, so here comes a wee blog of our fun and games but also of the damned fine food. FOC @ Sentosa for New Year’s Day with The Knibbs. It’s no Gaig, or Asador I have to say, but it is really nice nonetheless. Also the now Chef at Asador is actually ex FOC Sentosa, small worlds colliding stuff that.

FOC Sentosa for New Year’s Day with The Knibbs was such a cracker sat on the beach on a lovely sunny day. A gang of teenagers was playing Ultimate (frisbee) on the beach. Our kids were playing. The pool was open. People watching was abundant. The beverages were flowing, the food was plentiful, and the friends were wonderful. I love days like this. We’ll be coming back here that is for certain.

Plus, it should be a double FOC in the blog title because the crazy man Knibbs did indeed pay for this amazing brunch. It was Free of Charge.

Let's have a look at what the day held for us at FOC Sentosa, shall we? Our first day of 2020 goes with a bang, well actually with a POP!!!

Three green bottles, empty on the wall… There’ll be three green bottles empty on the wall. Drink one more and there’ll be four green bottles empty on the wall…”

What's so lovely about FOC Sentosa is that it is 1000% family oriented

Let's get into the FOC Sentosa Menu items that we consumed for New Year's Day 2020

This is their pork ribs. These are absolutely wonderful. I think sous vide (so not me), but I will concur these are damned fine. I would have these again and again, and in fact, we did have about 4 serves. A must-try. Ibérico Pork Ribs Grilled.

@ $32

Wifey tried this and her only response was that it was sweet. Not the most positive response to a dish from her haha. Looks nice though plated. This is King Crab Canneloni. The only one that I can see that might be this on the menu when we were here in 2020.
