ok i gotta admit that looking at these photos makes me hungry. so i beseech all of you who havent had dinner/lunch/breakfast/supper not to look at this blog post until ur stomach is satisfied.
Lobster Sashimi
i had no idea what is the name or breed of the lobster. all i knew was that it looked different from normal lobster and was from France. this dish was MAD delicious! if u like raw fish or seafood, u shld try this! the lobster on its own without wasabi or shoyu was so sweet and just melted in my mouth! we also had to option to dip it into a hotpot with stock to cook it. i tried both ways and either way, it was SHIOK! even the broth which we dipped it in was delicious!
Sharksfin cooked in chicken broth
another very yummy dish! although i do not feel very comfortable ordering or eating sharksfin, i had no choice becos my dad already ordered it! very sad for the sharks, yes, but it was very delicious! mainly becos of the broth. The whitish colour u see is not milk but the essence of the whole chicken cooked into the soup. thumbs-up!
Lobster Claw steamed with eggwhite below
i really liked this dish because its very simple tasting yet delicious! there was no fireworks or "boom""pow wow" but just simple heartwarming food! the lobster was very fresh and could taste the sweetness, matched with the eggwhite below that was not over seasoned nor overcooked. the eggwhite was extremely silky and smooth. very good match!
this was the piece de resistance! i've never in my entire life eaten one whole abalone like this! so i was shocked when this dish was served!! the sauce that went with the abalone was very rich and sticky. it went well with the abalone as abalones dont really have a very strong taste. the abalone did not taste like our usual canned abalone and was definitely not as chewy as those in the can. very awesome!!
Roasted Goose, Hongkong style
the roasted goose disappointed everyone at the table. the meat was too hard to chew and also to detach from the bone. it tasted like duck and the sauce was too salty. meat not tender and sauce salty, whats more to say about this dish? next!
stir fry asparagus with garlic
this dish was so-so, the asparagus they chose was fresh i could tell. mainly because it was sweet and crunchy. however, i found it a little too oily. u can tell from the pictures that it looks very glossy. tasted light but oily!
deep fried lobster with some condiments i forgot
nice condiments they used. i think it contained 5 spice powder and some chilli, salt etc but it was very hard getting the meat out of the lobster so basically you are eating the shell. haha still yummy though.
mango pudding
woo hoo this dessert is my all time fav! priced at $7++ each, it is definitely not cheap! however they used generous amounts of mango and the pudding was not the jelly type but creamy and soft! i loved this!
Mango Pomelo with Sago
this dessert was good but not fantastic as i've had better ones elsewhere. definitely didnt have as much mango as the pudding!
overall i enjoyed the meal because of the very elaborate menu! i had no idea we were gonna eat all these! my dad just ordered whatever he thought was good. i was very shocked because we were not celebrating any special occasion and it was just a normal dinner!

the lobster claw w eggwhite looks yummy
it was really nice. the egg was a bit of a surprise though cause it looked quite plain but the stock they used to steam the egg made the difference
Thanks for the recipe!!! Love it. Fresh or frozen local abalone is cheaper but will never give the same taste, flavor and texture as canned abalone. I love the flavor and taste of canned abalone and one day I want to eat abalone like 'abalone kings' do: braised in sauce and served whole, like a steak, washed down with a good white wine. Cut with a knife and fork of course. Meantime, it's still cheaper to slice abalone thinly and share with the family. I love this dish. It's such a special treat
