Set 2- Yabby Island amongst Louisiana Boil (Rm 98)
Opening Promo- Extra Lobster for Rm 60
The basket-load of Seafood was trashed on the tabular array together with nosotros were given plastic paw gloves to dig in. We were delighted yesteryear the variety- fresh catches such every bit Yabbies (or Crayfish), Scallops, Black Mussels, unopened Clams, tiny Squid, under-cooked Shitake Mushrooms, Corns, Cocktail Sausages, Nachos together with Deep Fried Mantou. Since it was our commencement visit, nosotros asked for recommendation together with the server gladly suggested their signature Louisiana Boil.
There were a nary of sauces that comes along amongst the Seafood (probably a spoonful but nosotros could non live bothered) together with the flavors were weak (the Seafood was likely "boiled" inward a type of broth). We were hoping for approximately thick together with rich sauce that could cling onto the Seafood together with brand a real awesome dip for the Mantou but no, nosotros did non acquire that. The Seafood was alright (still fresh) but approximately of the items did non come across our expectation. One of such items would live their fresh Shitake Mushrooms; likely under-cooked, the Mushrooms possessed a peculiar woody texture amongst an strange bitter-after taste. Squids on the other hand, were besides pocket-sized inward sizes together with potentially overcooked, the texture was a piddling tough.
We took payoff of their opening advertisement together with requested for the additional Lobster (at the toll of Rm 60). It was our error but non clarifying but approximately other moving ridge of disappointment comes inward shortly. We were served an ordinary local Lobster inward lieu of Boston Lobster (shown inward the menu) together with in that place were alone a few bites of flesh. Adding common salt to the wound, the Lobster was non fifty-fifty cooked together amongst other ingredients, it was likely steamed or boiled separately. All inward all, nosotros idea it was an okay-average repast that likely did non acquire out us a real strong impression (especially the food); mayhap our untrained sense of savour buds stimulate got yet to larn together with appreciate the taste. Not besides certain if it's novel business-jitters but in that place are rooms for improvements to tell the least.
