As part of my 3-days long birthday celebration (actually it's just an excuse for me to eat ), I finally paid Pince & Pints a visit! This joint that specializes in lobster is all over my instagram and facebook accounts! Serving only lobster and nothing else, they must have done something good to attract people from all over Singapore flocking over to Duxton Hill for some lobster fix.Lobsters here are served in 4 ways - steamed, grilled, as a lobster roll, and as chili lobster. They all weigh 600
As part of my 3-days long birthday celebration (actually it's just an excuse for me to eat ), I finally paid Pince & Pints a visit! This joint that specializes in lobster is all over my instagram and facebook accounts! Serving only lobster and nothing else, they must have done something good to attract people from all over Singapore flocking over to Duxton Hill for some lobster fix.
Lobsters here are served in 4 ways - steamed, grilled, as a lobster roll, and as chili lobster. They all weigh 600g approximately and are priced at $48++. My sis and I ordered the lobster roll and chili lobster to share, and also an omakase styled drink ($8-$12).
Lobster roll with Mesclun Salad, Sour Cherry & Balsamic Dressing, Shoestring FriesMy lobster roll consists of whole chunks of lobster meat served in a crispy buttered bun. The lobster meat is lightly tossed in mayonnaise, and sits comfortably on the crispy yet fluffy bun. The lobster meat was undoubtedly fresh, but could do with more flavour. The fries on the side were soggy and disappointing. I had expected more from a $48++ dish.
The chili lobster, on the other hand, was a tad too salty. I would have preferred it to be spicier but I guess they have deliberately made it milder so that the freshness of the lobster could stand out. The lobster meat again was fresh and succulent. The man tous were fried to perfection and were the perfect match with the chilli gravy.As a whole, I think the lobsters were executed pretty well, and some fine tuning would make it perfect. The decor of the place is kept simple, with black, white and red tones. The space however was extremely small and cramp. The table was small, and if you were to order the chili lobster like me, the huge claypot would have taken up half the table. The cramped place was quite stuffy, making the dining experience a bit unpleasant.
If you wish to indulge in a good meal, this place is still worth a try. Go before 6pm or be prepared to queue.
