AI summary of what 7 dish mentions say about the food

The cereal prawns are the standout, earning praise for their addictive, buttery crunch. Overall, reviewers describe the food as a vibrant, messy, and utterly satisfying feast.

These are massive tiger prawns hiding under all that cereal. It tastes like a cornflakes prawn — kind of sweet, like a dessert prawn. It's interesting, like corn flakes on the outside of the prawn. It's actually ingenious. I wonder if it's inspired by coconut prawns. These are really good too, a little bit sweet.

    Dishes mentioned

    • Singaporean Style Chili Crab

      This is the sambal Singapore style chili crab. The crab is deep fried first and then fried again in the wok. It's got a beautiful flavor on the exterior that's almost like ketchupy, a little bit spicy — a really complex flavor. The crab itself is sweet. It's got a slow burn — we went with the big spicy level. It's more suitable for a western palate because it's kind of ketchupy with a nice sourness and sweetness. You've got to eat it with the deep fried mantou — if you don't have the fried mantou, it's not real Singapore chili crab. The mantou is fresh, crispy, and fluffy on the inside, perfect for soaking up the sauce.

    • Salted Egg Yolk Crab

      Look at that — absolutely coated in sauce. It reminds me of a Cantonese milk crab dish, but this is the better version in my opinion because it's got more umami. It's so creamy, salty, yolky. That salted egg yolk is killer — you get that umami hit, it's creamy umami, rich, coats your mouth completely. This might be my favorite. I've never tried the salted egg yolk version of crab like this before, and it's incredible.

    • Black Pepper Lobster

      This is the black pepper Atlantic lobster. That black pepper flavor is amazing — it reminds me of Hong Kong style cafes with black pepper chicken or steak, but this is on the lobster. They're not skimping on the black pepper — it's extremely strong, actually really spicy, like extreme black pepper. Some of the shell you get in there, just crunch it up — it gives it a nice little texture. This might be my favorite. I've never had lobster done this way before, and it's incredible because I'm so used to eating lobster in New Brunswick, but having it with all that Chinese black pepper spice is so good.

    • Cereal Prawns

      These are massive tiger prawns hiding under all that cereal. It tastes like a cornflakes prawn — kind of sweet, like a dessert prawn. It's interesting, like corn flakes on the outside of the prawn. It's actually ingenious. I wonder if it's inspired by coconut prawns. These are really good too, a little bit sweet.

    • Thai Style Seafood Salad

      This is the Thai style seafood salad with squid, calamari, onions, and it's got a lot of heat to it. The owner wanted us to try it first because it changes texture the longer it sits in the acidity, so you have to eat it right away.
