PS: To be read together with my latest entry on Dotty Cafe.

Here's another place worth trying. Similar to Shore Restaurant but located at a less deserted corner of Singapore.





Breezy and cosy ambience without the noise of planes taking off









the Kitchen. Chili Crab is apparently a 'must try' as said on the banner. I have yet to try it though.



We learnt from the staff that it is better to keep the live crabs immersed in water rather than the usual way of placing them in a dry glass tank. This is because, the crabs risk getting stung my mosquitoes on the eyes. That is fatal. And once crabs die, their flesh 'dissolves' rendering them inedible.







View of docked boats at the side of restaurant








And of oil refineries in the far horizon



Now on the food.
Because it was only Chup and myself, we just ordered 2 dishes, ie green vegetable and grilled sambal parrot fish.

The latter was simply lovely! The owner said this dish is only available here and nowhere else. When the fish came, we are convinced. The parrot fish is first deep fried and then barbequed with special chili sauce. Once dane, it is then showered generously with pickled shallots and parsley. Simply mouth watering and fiery! A must try!





Beware when you are offered fresh watermelon juice! It is S$5/glass!! Probably the most expensive non-alcoholic drink on the menu. We discovered the price only when we settled the bill.
