I have been here on several occassions over several years. As a matter of fact I have not been back here since this dinner. Guess maybe it's time for me to go again? One of my fave food that I look forward to ordering are the mini chinese dough sticks or yau char gwai/yu tiao that comes with a plate of pandan kaya. For floggers that weren't so hungry, we ordered three plates of these yummy bites!
Since most of you know that I'm not really a fan of seafood, you must be wondering why am I eating here then? Well, I do miss the dough sticks and Nong & Jimmy's Thai Mango Salad which I love.
Nong & Jimmy's Thai Mango Salad is a wonderful combo of dried cuttlefish, chili padi (bird's eye chili), peanuts, onions with julienned mangoes that were not too raw and neither ripe. Spot on!
Mmmm....there's just something about fire and grilling seafood out in the open that gets the seafood lovers drooling. For me, I only hope the crabs had a quick death before they were transported to the BBQ grill 'cos I couldn't bear the sight and knowing that they could have been burnt alive. Luckily, there weren't any moving on this grill when I took this pic!
Gees, maybe I should turn vegetarian! But then give up on BBQ charsiew? Roast Duck? Roast Pork??? Sigh....Could I? Would I? :o(
Anyway, since this is a fave for one of us, we had to put an order in for one of these, prepared with Marmite.
The lone Marmite crab order which was I must say, was fresh and the meat was firm. Tastewise, it was just okay (bearing in mind, I'm not a seafood fan).
The grilled squid was excellent, abundance smokey flavour and slightly charred on the sides. We enjoyed this and yes this time it must be good (again bearing in mind, I'm not a seafood fan! hahaha...).
The potent Seafood Tom Yam with squid rings, prawns and a whole lot of other stuff; some edible while some to me are non-edible nuisance (but necessary for flavour and zest) as they get in the way when one is trying to scoop the soup out.
After this meal we went off for drinks (or so I thought) at Steven's Corner in Pandan Indah where the supposedly 3 not so hungry floggers who ate "adequately" for dinner ended up ordering ...
Squid again!!! Deep Fried Squid this time...I found this to be just average. If I want sinfully oil drenched but absolutely tasty deep fried squid, I'll go to my fave place for that. But that fave place of mine is another story...
Errrr.... with someone still saying that he could eat some more, we ordered the all time iconic Maggi Mee Goreng (Fried instant noodles) and he also wanted fried chicken too! I think I was pretty content with a drink or two at that time. I "fainted" at that time seeing him eat and was "revived" later. Hahaha....
Hence, no more photos ... and
THE END
Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant? I'm halfway through my fishburger and I realize, Oh my God. I could be eating a slow learner.
