Seafood Feast 活海鲜大餐

Last week, my colleagues & I were invited to a project completion celebration dinner at one of the restaurants in Turf City. It’s my first time there having this expensive live seafood feast and we enjoyed the sumptuous seafood very much. Under normal circumstances, one will not want to spend big bucks eating there because it's rather pricy, not unless it is a treat or there’s windfall lah - so my colleague reckoned that 'die die' must make it to the dinner…hahaha…

I shall present to you some of the delicious food we have had….. actually we had many other nice dishes, but my colleague was too busy eating, so didn’t bother to take picture of the other dishes…

Not sure if this is 鲍翅汤,the soup was simply tasty & rich!

Steamed Sung Hock Fish – my boss told us that this size of fish is the best, it is sweeter and tenderer. For this size, it costs around S$200! Actually we already had a much bigger & expensive 老鼠斑 earlier,however the chef had overdone the fish, so the host made a complaint and so we were compensated with this smaller Sung Hock Fish. We were very satisfied with this small fish.

Fresh lobster on ice – if you don’t like eating it raw, can dip into the steam boat first. The remaining flesh stuck in the shell were used in the fried noodle served before dessert. (The photo looks rather scary hor....because my colleage took this picture too close-up.)

Fried soft shell crabs – i'ts very crispy & fragrant.

This is our favourite dish for the night, steamed cold Alaska crab, their legs were so chunky & meaty, we didn't have enough of it, really yummy yummy! I heard one such crab easily costs over S$150, perhaps more for this large crab!

Hi Somewhere
I can tell u it's simply excellent!


Hi Oink Oink
Yeah... I also dipped the lobster flesh both raw & boiled into the wasabi soya sauce, wah.. it's refreshingly sweet!
I find the alaska crab better than the lobster, especially dip into the garlic chilly sauce lagi best, will bring out its sweetness... really delicious & a must try item!


Hi Mary, Nicole, Eileen, Apple, Joanne

yeah, indeed it's expensive & sure had cost our host a bomb even though I didn't see the bill... 应该是承包公司有赚到钱,很开心才舍得请一顿昂贵的庆功宴慰劳大家,哈哈!是个可遇不可求的一餐噢! 如果要自己掏腰包,就会舍不得花那么多钱吃一餐了。

Margaret,

I think you must be very to attend this celebration dinner, those colleagues miss this meals will cry if they see this picture.
I think the Alaska crab is direct fly from Japan, it's look so fresh.

Margaret said...

The Alaska crab was from Japan, we also had the Japanese 螺 plus another type of 螺 from another country,all very fresh & springy.

Indeed, one of my colleagues suffered from food poisoning tummy upset had to give the dinner a miss on that day as she didn't want to take another risk, so we took her share and took pictures to show her..

Apple said...

Hi Margaret

any idea what is the name of the restaurant?

Margaret said...

a....don't sure whether I should do free advertisement for them...maybe I would just disclose that it starts with O...

Oink Oink said...

Margaret,

Can sense that you like spicy food right? If so, then we have another thing in common liao, hehe..
:-D

惠芬的世界 said...

我好久没享受seafood了。看了都想马上去吃呢!

Dorene said...

Margaret, just look at the photos already shiok how nice if can taste them. I think this dinner a least cost 1k.

Margaret said...

Hi Oink²

Yes, I love wasabi, chilly & anything spicy, but can also do without them lah, unlike some people always must have chilly in their meal. Right dipping sauce brings out the food sweetness & taste...& some food need it to enhance its taste...

Margaret said...

Hi 惠芳

嘻嘻!等你settle down your maid, 记得暗示你的老公带你去吃海鲜慰劳噢!

Hi Dorene

yea...we all eat until very shiok! think 1 table easily over S$1K, we had 2 tables for 25 people.
