We had our usually monthly get-together at West Coast Seafood (Joyden) Restaurant on 5Jun2013. Another evening of fun & laughter, this time with 3 bottles of wine thrown in by our generous organiser. No corkage fee here!
We had 12pax for the evening.
We started with an appetizer platter of Mayo Prawns, Ngoh Hiang, some rolls & a Topshell Salad. Quite good.
Next up was a Seafood Fishmaw Soup. Quite ok. Comparing the appetizer & soup with what we had at Roland, I would think Roland’s was better in both instances.
This was followed by Wasabi Mayo Prawn Fritters with Thai Kailan. I was not sure a prawn fritter could be better than the usual wasabi mayo prawns (say at Majestic or Tung Lok, though Peach Garden made a singularly bad one heavily coated with green mayo), but this one was pretty good!
the tiger garoupa HK steamed 港蒸 with light soya sauce was excellent as expected. In the absence of Chee Hong, our undisputed chief fishhead eater, I had the honour to conjure up the disappearance of the fishhead, being the next-in-line “ngeou” person around the table. 
Next on the menu was coffee ribs with yam basket. Tasty & the yam was suitably fluffy.
Roast chicken was good. Skin was crispy & meat quite ok dabbed with some 5-spice salt. I would put Roland’s as better than this & Yuan Xing’s as worse.
The scallop, broccoli, mushrooms & macadamia nuts was a very good dish.
Both the chilli crab & butter crab were very good.
The Sri Lankan Crabs were meaty & both the chilli (not spicy enough) and butter sauces were very good. The yee fu noodle, though run-of-the-mill, was a good ending to the sumptuous dinner.
