Makansutra Glutton's Bay Food

K.F. Seetoh, the founder of Makansutra, has established an empire of all things food related. just recently , he has released the lateast version of the Makansutra book with more than 200 new listings.. one of my default eateries here in Singapore is his baby in Esplanade. Where he got some of the hawkers from all around Singapore in one place to showcase Singapore food to the world.
Here are what we got...for now... hehehe
Chili Crab--
too bad they dont have Sri lankan crab that time, we were serve flower crabs which was also good.. and they dont have mantou as well so i cant slurp the sauce away...
BBQ Sting ray-
this was done just the way i like it, the Sambal was a bti toasted to release the smoky flavor.. other people dont like it this way and like their sambal freshly painted on the Stingray. this is a prefrence among makankakis...
Crispy Baby Squid-
very good, crispy, and nto oily. The seasoning was just perfect
Fried Rice-
worst dish of the night, i never like fried rice wherein they put frozen corn, carrots and green peas... would have like it , if those were not present..
Place is open from 5pm to past Midnight.

Fish & Co. - many branches all over Singapore

Being Colonized by The Bristish, Singaporeans do love Fish and Chips, there are a lot of places that offer this delicacy. There is the humble "Chipper" that you can find at "food courts" inside malls. THere are a lot of restos like Fisheros, Manhattan Fish Market, Smiths in Katong, and the list goes on and on.... Even in hawker center you would find fish and chips in stall selling western food.
I dont know if anyone would argue, but one of the franchise that does fish and chips well is FISH & Co...
Beer Battered.. crispy on the outside, soft, juicy and flaky inside..

Everytime, i eat here, the fish and Chips have been consisntent, in quality and the way they cook it. Yummy...
Being in singapore.. you definitely will be serve chili sauce....:)

This drink with fruit syrup, is nothing great...
next time i would just order water... hahaha

Singapore Seafood Republic - Resorts World Sentosa


4 biggest name in the seafood business here in Singapore, collaborated to form this Paradise. Tung Lok, Jumbo, Seafood international and Palm Beach.
A success in Japan with branches in Osaka and Tokyo, and now they decided to finally open in their Motherland. So, how was it?
Well, first and foremost, the place was huge. Brightly lit and spacious.
Service was also fantastic. Polite and efficient waiters and waitresses.
NOw lets get down to the food.
Appeitzer.

Scallop in Yam Ring- i would have like it if the used the whole scalllop rather than sliced it in third i think coz it was quite thin, but nevertheless, the coating was fried exceptionally and not too oily.
Wasabi prawns- very good, cooked perfectly, and the dressing was just right.
OTAH- very well done as well with chunks of fish inside.
Steam Seabass on eggwhite-

This was delicious. the seabass was cooked perfectly and flaked easuly. The chili micture on top just added wht right kick without being too spicy. The steam egg white absord the juices of the fish so well as it became well flavoured.
Sharkfin and seafood soup,
a tad too salty for me, but the ingredients inside the soups was exceptional, with large bits of crabmeat, scallops, fish and whole peel shrimp.
Sauteed prawn in sweet black sauce-
this was kinda ordinary for me. nothing exceptional
Black pepper crab-
done very well, a bit dry
Chili crab with mantou-
served in a claypot(what is shown is just a serving) to keep the delicious sauce hot. this was very good, the mantou can be a bit bigger though. the sauce was good to the last slurp. we just kept on asking extra mantou to finish the sauce:)
Seafood fried rice.-
again chockful of ingredients. Very nicely done. love it
Chinese dessert-

i dont know what this is called, they say it was good, i am just not into chinese dessert. never was, even when i was a kid.
