Pura Brasa (Singapore)
we have alot of fond memories of our European trip, and in particular, our time in Barcelona. we loved the Spanish culture, the architecture and certainly the local tapas and other dishes. it was a welcome surprise that one of the restaurant chains from Spain, including several outlets in Barcelona, actually opened a branch at the new Tanjong Pagar Centre.
Pura Brasa prides itself internationally as a place that understands the act of eating, and hopes to enable its patrons to enjoy dining in a pleasant, modern and casual ambience. this principle is evident from its welcoming entrance and spacious interior. the staff are generally very helpful and would engage you in making some recommendations for the dishes. the menu ranges from main courses such as pastas, burgers and meat, to a variety of Spanish tapas and cocktails. things are a tad pricey, but certainly of good quality. 
The signature dish and a must-try here would be their charcoal grilled seafood Paella, a rice dish that i personally thoroughly enjoyed when i was in Spain. the rice is served warm, a little moist and extremely fragrant. though it seems like a large platter, it actually serves about 2 persons per pan quite comfortably. we ordered this together with some popular tapas choices to immerse ourselves in a culture-trip back to Barcelona. 
The grilled casserole dishes are pretty much a Spanish staple, we tried the prawn casserole that was served in a hot-plate of garlic and olive oil. it was sprinkled with some chilli pepper to give it some spice and came with crispy garlic bread as well. another popular casserole dish that is highly recommended is the octopus casserole where the meat is well grilled and served with a potato puree base. if you are in a small group with limited options, we'd suggest to go for this casserole as the preferred choice. 
Other very "Spanish" must-trys would include this Jamon or Spanish Iberico Ham. they are very finely sliced and served on a wooden platter usually with some tomato bread. i recall having alot of Jamon back in Spain and we're happy to say that the quality of ham served at Pura Brasa is pretty good. the bread itself is also very flavourful, with a rich taste of sweetness from the tomatoes blended with olive oil. we topped off the meal with some Spanish fruit wine or Sangria which absolutely concluded a nostalgic evening of fine Spanish cuisine.
