Don't judge a book by its cover. I'm sorry to say that's exactly what I did and have missed out on some really good food. This place does seafood right! I've only had the opportunity to try 2 dishes, but so far so good! I will certainly be back soon to try more.
Tempura prawns and veggies...4.5 stars. The yams and prawns were coated and fried in a light batter. The prawns were cooked to perfection (doesn't get any better than this). The yams were good but needed just a few more seconds of draining...I could still see some oil clinging on the surface as I cut through with my fork. I don't think either one was seasoned but the batter was so light that you could taste the natural flavors of the yam and prawns, which was delightful. For more flavor, the accompanying sweet light soy sauce will do the trick.
Fried calamari...5 stars. This is definitely one of the best fried calamari dishes in town. Leave it to a seafood place to prepare the calamari perfectly. When you take your first bite and your teeth cuts through the meat with ease and pulls away cleanly, you just know it was done right! Thank you Kingfisher for scoring your calamari! This helps to make it even easier to bite into and adds more surface area for the flour to cling onto. Speaking of flour, the calamari was lightly coasted with visible specks of black pepper, but don't let them fool you...this dish may look like it's pepper-salted, but it's not....not much salt was present (hence the name "fried calamari"). If you need more salt, the dish comes with a side of Sambal pepper sauce.
