Bibik bouillabaisse with mussels, snapper and prawns from Epicurious. The stew was enormously flavourful with the robust life essence of presumably six hundred and seventy two fishies, with a playful spice feist and just a hint of coconut to give it a curryish tease. 4/5 This item is part of…
Maine lobster and chicken pot roast with field mushrooms, fried quail eggs and parsley from The Disgruntled Chef. If crustaceans and fowls haven’t been dating before, they certainly should start exploring the possibilities. The lobster was plump and sweet whilst the well-done chicken had the most happily crispy skin, and…
Cacciucco from In ITALY – seafood casserole with lobster, garoupa, prawns, squid, imported mussels, clams, tomatoes and chilli. The broth flavour was essentially clams dancing naked with tomatoes under the moonlight, whilst the assortment of seafood on hand was generous in portion, varied and tasty enough to make me a…
Panzanella di Aragosta from In ITALY – Canadian lobster with Tuscan bread and tomato salad. Essentially like a zombified Frankenstein lobster salad – it’s cold, it’s wet, it’s clammy, the vegetables squirt cold veggie juice upon bite – but in a surprisingly pleasing way. 3.8/5 <strong>In ITALY</strong> 38 Craig Road Singapore…
The Great Red Ocean – Drambuie, Southern Comfort, Smirnoff Vodka, lime juice, cranberry juice, cinnamon, mint. The first thing I realised is that Capri by Fraser doesn’t stinge or pussyfoot when it comes to alcohol. Disappointingly, the lobster cocktail does not consist of murdered crustacean mush, merely a chunkful of…
Laksa Fisherman’s Pie from Epicurious – prawn, fish, crabmeat, taupok, carrot and zucchini in spicy laksa broth with a puff pastry top. Essentially roti prata served with distilled laksa concentrate, so powerfully flavoured that you must savour it by way of dipping the pastry and only sucking the soak in order…
Mad Mussels from The Fickle Mussel – spicy mussels slapped with lemongrass aroma, garlic and chilli, and touted with a cut of toasted sourdough bread. The mussels are good…in the sense that they are absorbent conduits between your mouth and the swimming pool they are lounging in, which is a…
Ocean – scallop, sea lettuce, blue mussel, avocado. Essentially a high-concept and delectable art installation. The avocado was remarkably smooth and creamy, with a texture comparable to that of lotus paste in paus. Elsewhere, the scallop was admirably cooked, the mussel and chorizo were slightly spicy and the sea lettuce…
Otah by The Bay at SREEET 50. Whilst the otah does lack a vital gritty spiciness which is present in the best otah, the $8.90 price tag and the absolute avalanche of octopus, clams, garoupa and scallops (!!) justifies its viability as an option for late night munchies. 3.6/5 Want…
