My friends and I went to town at this place. We had to wait approximately 45 minutes due to the limited seating here (14 seats?) and due to arriving at a busy time. There's only 1 chef and 1 helper at this place so don't expect your food to arrive like a fast food joint. What's cool about the Oyster bar is that you can watch the chef add all the ingredients to the 6 cauldrons and 2 gigantic pots. The 6 cauldrons are used to make the soup while 1 of the big pots is filled with fish stock and the other is for boiling the shellfish. Here's what I ordered (all were excellent by the way):
* 1 dozen raw half-shell oysters: The chef schucked the oysters in front of us. Looks easy when he does it. I prefer squeezing the lemon and drizzle some cocktail sauce over them. Taste great.
* 1/2 dozen raw half-shell clams: Similar to the oysters but with a different texture. I prefer the oysters though.
* Palace Pan Roast: Combination of shrimp, lobster, crab, clams. Tomato paste base with white rice. Can feed 1 or 2 hungry souls. Did I mention it's loaded with flavor.
* Oyster Shooters with Vodka: With the cocktail sauce, you won't taste the alcohol or the sea-taste from the oyster. Order 3 for a better deal.
