It's uncommon for Gurney Drive to bring novel restaurants, the seafront promenade already has a spate of well-established cafes too restaurants. Sea Brew is a rare occasion; previously a hawker identify too instantly turned into a cozy Cafe-Bar space. The facade is inviting, amongst broad too brilliant entrance; Sea Brew comes across equally a cafe due to its setting but amazingly, the bewilder card comprises of Steamboat Hot Pot, Western Cuisine too unopen to home-made sugariness treats, amongst options of alcoholic beverages (big card but non all were available on our visit). But a repast hither costs a bomb, hold off to pay at to the lowest degree Rm thirty for a principal course; piece nosotros did bask the relaxed atmosphere amongst soothing body of body of water breeze, nosotros idea the nutrient character did non quite well-justify the hefty cost tags.
Garden Cheese (Rm 15)
Aglio Olio Seafood (Rm 32)
The Salmon (Rm 35)
Steamboat options (steaming Hot Pot, non the usual Hot Pot) are available from Rm 88 (for 2), nosotros did non experience similar having that on a sultry hot afternoon too thus naturally nosotros turned to their Western options. The Aglio Olio Seafood comes amongst a expert disclose of Seafood- Squid, Clams, Mussels, Prawns too Scallops but unfortunately, all of them were overcooked. We were underwhelmed amongst the overcooked, slouchy Spaghetti seemingly drenched inwards Chili Oil. Equally disappointing was "The Salmon" amongst a modest slice of pan-fried Salmon served atop of boiled Potatoes too Asparagus. The fish was overcooked, slightly over-seasoned too overly greasy to our liking. It was well-nigh discouraging to run across such measly portion.
To our surprise, the dessert- Garden Cheese out-shined the onetime two dishes. It was basically Chocolate Cheese Tart (with cake-like texture of crust) topped amongst Chocolate Brownies, candied Walnuts too unopen to fresh Blueberries. We liked the Chocolaty of this cake but likely a footling likewise bold that nosotros idea the Cheese-element of the cake did non stand upwardly out. But the sweetness was well-balanced too did brand a contenting after-meal sugariness process to destination the meal.
