Seafood International @ Big Splash

Had been receiving email from Seadood International for their A-la-cate buffet at special great price that comes with more than 50 of dishes eat till you full. Thanks to my boss that we had our lunch here. The restaurant were packed with eater despite it was a weekday, and the restaurant is not easily asscessible . As usual , we ordered many seafood items and some veggie. With such a great price, I didnt put too expectation as long as taste passable . But, there are 2 items that I think it could lure me back will be the mini abalone and fried pumpkin with salted egg yolk. Mini Abalone taste excellent ! The pumkin was way above my expectation that It has neve came cross my mind that combination of salted egg yolk with the pumpkin tasted divine .

Cod Fish Village

Cod Fish Village serves more than 30 different cod fish dishes , you could find curry cod fish, assam cod fish and many many more. The eatery is situated at a secluded block in Toa Payoh, it is a coffee shop style which need not worry much on the price.

Since they are well – know of preparing Cod Fish, we tried deep fried Cod fish stick, Cod Fish with olive, milk fragrance spare ribs and others.

Fried Cod fish sticks tasted similar as seafood toufu , crispy on the skin and flavour of seafood inside. However, I find texture and taste of other seafood had overwhelmed the flavour of cod fish.

Cod Fish with Olive , Cod fish is not east to cook it tasty and yet retaining the unique taste and smooth texture. The chef had handle the heat well that the fish meat was well cooked , perfect that you wont feel the greasiness that you find from the cod fish.

Milk Fragrance Spare Ribs, since they specialize on Cod Fish, do not pin high hop for non-cod fish dishes. On this per say, we unanimously felt that they had used too much milk and too sweet.

House of Seafood

Signature Black Pepper Crab

There are number of new eateries emerging along Yio Chu Kang Road, one of them is House of Seafood set up by 2 chefs formerly from Joo Chiat famous black pepper crab. Once you stepped into the Zi Char shop, pictures of mediacorp’s artistes with the owner & posters of reviews from various publishing, press and online media pasted around the wall of the outlet. We ordered 3 different dishes of crab, signature black pepper crab, Singapore famous chilli crab and butter crab, costs $38 per kg . In fact, I find most of the media had over-rated their crab, the black pepper crab was not well cooked at the right hot temperature that the meat stick with the shell, the black pepper sauce wasn’t fantastic enough to give us the “wow” factor. Singapore Chilli Crab just passable, I could easily taste it any chi zhar stall in Singapore , not worth to travel such a distance for it. Butter crab didn’t look creamy that butter crab should have, it was too dry that lost the touch of butter. I still prefer AMK Mellben and Seasfood paradise crabs, both have specialty to prepare tasty, juicy, mouth-watering crab..

Butter Crab

A welcome dinner for Shu Fen back from Shanghai . I had introduced Seafood Paradise @ Defu Lane previously, Seafood Paradise started from a small Tze Chai stall in a very secluded industry area - Defu Lane. Through years , it has grown to an air-conditioned and well known restaurant at Defu Lane. In March this year, it opened another outlet at Singapore Flyers, where we had our dinner tonight.

Compare with Defu Lane, Singapore Flyers was nicely designed and more comfortable , service staffs were much more attentive, food served was much faster nevertheless the food taste remains excellent.






Dessert... a brilliant choice to wrao up the entire dinner.
However, only limited choice of hot dessert.










Butter Crab

Deep Fried Bun... married well with cream crab savory gravy.
