| - We ordered the lobster cooked 4-ways. This is really the test when it comes to a kitchen's quality. Each of the ways the lobster is cooked either highlights the lobster or the flaws of the cooking. Starting with the steamed lobster with clear noodles, you get a taste for the actual lobster without any flavours to mask it. A bit tough or dry and the chef has overcooked it. Fortunately for us, this was cooked perfectly. The maggi sauce cooked lobster is stir fried and layers a light sauce over the lobster. This deep fried lobster had a light batter that did not overpower the actual lobster but added a nice crispy texture to it. Batter can be a personal thing, but over batter, and you end up with eating more dough than seafood. Not to mention after a few minutes the batter becomes soggy. Lastly, the rice was abundant with the remains of the lobster throughout. This dish has only a few ingredients, which is really all you need.
The sweet and sour pork was ultra-crispy. I would rank this one as one of the top in the area. I've had this dish at many places, but haven't had one as crispy as the one here.
Finally, the desserts were a great way to finish the meal. The mango rice balls are refreshing and something I haven't found anywhere else.
Having been to Fisherman's house where you get a mountain of lobster, I would definitely come back to O'Mei instead. Don't let the look of Fisherman's fool you, when you're spending this kind of money, it better taste amazing as well.
