Green Mango Salad with Crispy Fish Skins.

Tangy, sweet and sour. The fish skin is realleeeeeeee crispy. Excellent starter to whet your appetite.

BBQ Seafood combo

Grilled stingray, tiger prawn and squid on sambal and served on a bed of grilled corn and grilled baby potatoes. Generous portions and firm, fresh seafood.

Asparagus Prawn and Crab Meat Fried Rice

A winner. The rice is dry with very fresh prawns and crab meat. They managed to get it right as as it is not oily at all.

Chilli Sri Lankan Crab

A Singaporean dish that has made good overseas. A good old fashioned favourite. In front of me was a gigantic crab in thick sweet chilli sauce mixed with beaten egg. The crab was huge! I mean huuuuuuuge. My god! It was so satisfying to bite into those gigantic pincers. The crab meat was so sweet with a slightly muddy flavor.

Stir-fried Hong Kong Kailan with Oyster Sauce
The vegetables tender and have great snap, which means they must be very fresh.

Chilled Mango Puree with Sago and Pomelo

Generous amount of pomelo and fresh mango.

The service is relaxed and friendly. The staff knows what they are doing and are very patient. I switched my order from Salted Egg Crab to Chilli Crab and they were very nice about it. I really appreciate that they have provided a stack of dishes on each table. With all that shell from the crab and prawns, I needed to change a new dish very often. So I really appreciated having those fresh dishes around.
