  • A whole platter to myself – how ‘shellfish’ of me!

    Posted on 28 January 201718 March 2017
    Lobster shellfish platter

    On the first day of Chinese New Year, I did not want to pay through the nose for a Chinese New Year banquet with cheap ingredients with ‘auspicious’ names. So I headed to Loch Fyne after spotting a 40% off voucher (!!!) and having no takers, had the whole shellfish platter all to myself. I know, […]

  • Lobster Thursdays at Brown’s Restaurant

    Champagne lobster thermidor

    Brown’s is a chain of restaurants round the UK located in fancy heritage buildings. Thursdays are Lobster Thursdays during which they serve fresh lobster at very reasonable prices. Apparently Cambridge animal rights activists protested against the restaurant for cooking lobsters live back in 2014. As long as the lobsters are killed humanely (which the restaurant said […]

  • The Jetty @ Bristol Harbour Hotel

    Mixed Seafood Grill

    Bristol Harbour Hotel is a newly-opened hotel at the former Lloyds Bank building on Corn Street. Despite the name, this hotel is nowhere near the harbour! As far as I am concerned, they can give the place any damn name they like when the food is this good! The appetiser was a chunky fish soup […]

  • The Town House set lunch

    Posted on 26 November 201628 November 2016

    The Town House used to have a totally bargainous lunch set menu. Due to increasing costs, they’ve stopped it. However, you can still get the three mains for the old, bargainous price of £ 10 if you like their Facebook page. It’s win-win situation for both the diner and the restaurant, I’d say! I chose […]

  • Brekkie + oysters at Source

    Posted on 18 October 201423 October 2014

    Source prides itself on selling only high-quality produce. I had a very miserable breakfast at Source as the maple bacon pancakes that I had my eye on were sold out. Settled with porridge. And because it’s healthy and natural, is basically bland with some molasses on top. While I was browsing the butcher’s and fishmonger’s, […]

  • Signor Valentino, Cardiff

    Posted on 7 August 201425 August 2014

    Had Fritto Misto off the lunch menu at £ 9.95 – it was the best seafood I’ve had so far in the UK and so worth it! Being a Penangnite, I miss fresh seafood. Description from the menu: “Selection of lightly-battered whitebait, king prawns, calamari, baby squid, mussels and sardines served with lettuce and fresh […]

  • Scallops and fried rice

    Posted on 6 August 20146 August 2014

    Used truffle-infused olive oil (bought from Italian stall at the Harbourside Festival) and garlic. The scallops were £ 6 frozen from M&S and do not shrink in size (cheap ones are injected with water to make them appear larger and thus shrink when cooked).
