Manhatten Fish Market@Central

This fishy place serves a "Strictly for Sharing" menu!!!

Haha! When i first saw it, i exclaimed in delight! Well... sometimes i can't finish my dinner all by myself, so it's good to share rite? Waste not, want not. That's what my mother says. Anyway it's very tsk tsk to waste food!

Rites: let me go more into detail on our Strictly for Sharing.

We shared the Manhatten Seafood Platter ($29.90++) for Two

Deep fried fish fillet, calamari, oysters and prawns served with chips and garlic rice kinda remind me ...FISH and CO Seafood Platter for 2!!!

So similar!!! i wondered who copied who! And of cos they had more platters of slightly different variety for couples to share like The Giant Flaming Whole Lobster Platter and Premium Sea Catch Whole Fish Platter and Fishermen's Giant Fried Platter. Lots of platters going on here.

Well well well, so now it's just up to the food to live up to its reputation of being the best in america! Beginning i was thinking "Shucks... ate this stuff before. and many times" But what impressed me was when the waiter, armed with a gasoline can, flamed the prawns covered with some special sauce, according to the waitress, flaming in front of me for a good few minutes before serving it.

okie, here's the deal. Prawns flamed in special sauce. Not tasty and not special. The sauce, somehow i have tasted it before like in those Japanese salad sauce, issit Thousand island or Salad Cream??? Well, it's not unique for sure. And the rice that was under the flamed prawns, tasted so burnt!!!!

Next, fried calamari, sad case here, the batter was thin, not fluffy nor light. Not savoury and heavy infact. Couldnt pop more than 5 into my mouth. Feels very oily. I think i prefer the other restaurant's grilled calamari way more.

Up next, fried fish fillet. Heng, this fish fillet saved the platter's name. The fish was fresh, tender and succulent. Fried to perfection and drained of oil. Thumbs-up. The only booboo bit was it came in a fillet and not 2.

Oysters came in3?!?!? and it's a Platter for 2? Come on! what is going on here!!!! *holler* Shouldn't it be 2 or 4 oysters in a platter!!! This is ridiculous, in the end the Bf and I had to push and shovel the oysters with " no, u have it" when it comes to an oyster.

Lastly, the sauces...can i have more chilli please???? U only gave me a teaspoon to have with so much fried food with it. i've gotta have more chilli to cover all that oil.

Damnit. I'm never coming back here again. Even if they have bigger and better hooha flames. Bleah.

Those people in the snake Q are really blind in their tongues and mind.
