| - $59.99 for for a meal of Fresh never Frozen Before Seafood???? I am in.
My buddy brought me to this place last night. The plaza was tucked away east of midland on steeles, at a local gas station type neighborhood strip mall. It was located on the north west corner of the plaza and the signage was, well... dark and dingy. I would never have come here if it was not a meeting with the other family.
We were greeted at the front door with 10 boxes of fresh lobster boxes, just dumped outside the front door. On arrival thru the front door, I was facing a wall of fresh lobsters, with the tanks clearly marked A,B,C,D (to indicate the size of the crustaceans). Then, another wall of fresh bass, and then another wall of turbot fish and alaskan crabs.
My friend, who was a regular, did the ordering. He said the best deal (not the best tasting) for a group of 4 was the $59.99 meal and a fried lobster roe rice. The waiter was trying so hard to get us to upgrade to the $16.99 per pound lobster (I was told they make a lot more money as this combo is a loss leader) but my buddy insisted it was not going to happen. He told me he caved once, and they left like 1/3 of the meal behind because the lobster was so darn big. After we were done, the meal was $77 tax in. Not bad for a 4 person dinner.
Anyway, back to the meal. 2 minutes after ordering the SOUP came. Talk about fast! The lineups were long so I guess they wanted us out the door asap. Then, the fresh clams came. Holy holy holy mackerel. The clams were so fresh and tasty and so tender, it was like sashimi done chinese. Then the crabs came. The crabs were fried ginger and onion flavoured and it was, okay... I am not a crabby person.
Then the lobster came... it was done maggi style. It is okay too. Fresh is the key. The lobster was not the gigantic ones. I saw on the other tables their signature dish. My buddy said we needed 6 people to hammer that one down. Next time.
Then the fresh steamed bass. FIsh is my favourite and man, I destroyed this one. My buddy's did not really like fish, being north chinese and I being south chinese love fish. There was not one scale left on this bass. I ate everything... head, bones, tail and all. No complaints. Next time, I am upsizing this dish.
The veggies were okay. I killed that one to. It was your regular baby bak choy with mushrooms you get anywhere.
The lobster roe rice was okay. I wished they fry some belachan in there to add the flavour. Or some fish sauce.
4/5. The crab could be fresher... if fresher it would be 5/5.
The beers are $2.50 and $3.50 for local and import respectively.
Btw, call to reserve ahead of time. 5-8pm is impossible to get a seat.
