Scottish Bamboo Clam with Minced Garlic 4.8/5

Embarking on this seafood odyssey, I began with the Scottish Bamboo Clam with Minced Garlic. This dish was a harmonious interplay of flavours – the inherent sweetness of the bamboo clam beautifully danced with the robust pungency of minced garlic. The tender clam meat and the accompanying vermicelli soaked up the dish's essence, making every slurp a symphony of delectable flavours.

Steamed Dragon Grouper with Preserved Turnip 4/5

The Steamed Dragon Grouper with Preserved Turnip was a testament to culinary finesse. The grouper's flesh was tender, with a delicate texture that was a testament to perfect steaming. The fish's natural sweetness mingled effortlessly with the nuanced taste of the preserved turnip, offering a dish that delighted both the palate and the senses.

Singapore Style Chilli Crab 4.2/5

The iconic national dish, Singapore Style Chilli Crab cooked in a moreish sauce that has the right balance of sweet, spicy and tangy note. Using Sri Lankan mud crabs, the meat is sweet and meaty. Best to order some fried mantou to wipe up those delicious chilli crab sauce.

Australian Lobster with Minced Garlic 4/5

The parade of seafood delights continued with the Australian Lobster with Minced Garlic. Although sweet and tender, the lobster meat presented a distinctively firm and chewy texture, setting it apart from the Boston Lobster. The addition of minced garlic offered an aromatic punch, expertly complementing the lobster's natural sweetness.

Bacon Mac & Cheese 4/5

There are also premium sides for add-ons. Bacon Mac & Cheese (+$9) was creamy and comforting, with the macaroni evenly coated in melted cheese. The bacon bits accented the dish with a smoky and savoury note, which added a detectable contrast to the creamy moussels.

Truffle Fries 3.8/5

We also tried a side dish Truffle Fries ($15). The texture of the fries was good, carrying the aroma of truffle.
