Another place that is filled with lots of good cafes and restaurants is the Turf City along Bukit Timah. This place may not be very accessible if you take the public transport but I've noticed some shuttle bus to this place so take a look at the last picture of this post below!
My family was wandering around trying to find a place to have our lunch and we found this interesting seafood market place restaurant called Oceans of Seafood. It is the biggest restaurant in PasarBella. It is basically like a market place with many shops and restaurants all under one roof. I love seafood and the Oceans of Seafood captivated me.
This is the drinks menu. They serve sakes, soft drinks, jap tea etc
This is the sushi menu. They have all the standard sushi such as the salmon, scallop, prawn, tuna etc. They have wonderful sashimi sets and also premier sushi such as the tuna blue fin.
we ordered something simple and standard. The sushi was VERY VERY FRESH. There's an after- taste that lingers in my mouth after each mouthful. You can see for yourself from the picture, the raw fish is really fresh.
OYSTERS! THIS. Is my love. You can say i have a fetish with oysters xD but seriously, it's very rare to find fresh and tasty oysters in S'pore. Here, I've found big tasty fresh yummy oysters. These are so fresh that i wanna eat it without any Tabasco sauce at all. Just the plain oyster brought me to cloud nine. And it was so creamy! i will definitely order more oysters the next time i visit this place. The oyster range from $5-$9 per piece. The cheaper Australian oysters can be bought in half dozens.
Some more sushi that is very fresh and savory. the fish eggs were crunchy too, another sign that tells me this place serves really fresh food.
My brother ordered salmon don. To my surprise, the serving was rather huge with quite a decent amount of fresh salmon on top of the rice. Looks and taste yummy!
This has a market place concept, so you basically choose the seafood on display and they will cook it for you. And so, every seafood you eat is 100% fresh! My family decided to spend a mini bomb on one of the seafood set platter. (see below)
Yes, this is the seafood platter ($98 ++) This platter has like 10 prawns, one Boston lobster, bamboo clams and the normal clams. These seafood are really fresh. They basically shimmer the seafood without frying or adding any sauce while cooking it, so that the original freshness of the seafood can be retained. You simply dip the seafood in the sauces they provide. I love seafood and this really did satisfy me. yay!
I wanted to show the "before-after" picture. These are the rubbish left by (please don't be surprise) what is mostly eaten by me xD Yes i can eat a lot when it comes to seafood :)
Oh I took random pictures of the chef using the fire thing to make smoked sushi. Looks really cool from i was sitting.
So have i convinced you to visit this place? This place serve very good sushi and seafood. Although the ambiance may not be quiet and it may be quite pricey, this place is very worth visiting for their fresh ingredients. They seem to be short of service crew but i believe that is so because i visited the place on a Sunday. Do come by soon!
