One was quite surprised to find live seafood display shelves in an Indian restaurant, which was something commonly found in Chinese style Seafood restaurants. Interestingly there was Indian kitchen, as well as, Chinese kitchen in this restaurant. There was a open hot food counter, as well as, a live cooking station which was opened to other to watch.
We were served complimentary appadam while waiting for the dishes to be served. We tried on a number of drinks.
Badam Milk ($4.00)
Milky and not too sweet.
Fresh Lime Soda (Sweet) ($3.00)
It was like carbonated lemonade.
Lassi (Sweet) ($4.00)
It tasted like yogurt drink.
Fish Head Curry ($26/small, $30/ big)
A whole anggoli fish head is semi-stewed in a rich thick orange curry with assorted vegetables such as okra and brinjal, and a generous helping of Indian spices and lemongrass. The final result is aromatic and fragrant with mellowed spiciness.
The curry was first cooked in the Indian kitchen before handling over to the Chinese kitchen for touch up before serving. The fish meat was firm and tender, with tender cooked vegetables in the curry. The curry was not heavily spiced as traditional indian curry.
Chilli Crab (S$40/ 800 grams)
Live Srilankan cooked in sweet and spicy sauce.
The dish was pretty similar to the usual chinese seafood restaurant, where the crab was covered with a rich spicy sweet sauce. The crab was pretty fresh and we could see that it was freshly taken from the display shelves.
