Old racecoarse seafood restaurant, Turf Club Rd, Spore

Glorious glorious food... Why do you exist more on islands like Penang and Singapore... and for this time's trip to Spore, this particular seafood restaurant located at the ol' racecoarse @ Turf Club road makes its' way to my list purely because of the experience it creates.. Notice the tens of aquariums, each filled with a different sort of seafood.. Exhilarating as it is, making a choice from such a variety is an arduous task.. The fun part is, you get to stare at the fugly fish looking at you and say 'I'm gonna eat you!'.. Chances are, the only sea creatures able to retaliate such stares are the clams.. The have more eyes and they squirt water at you..

Now now, doesn't this just look like a scene from a visit HK or Singapore advert? Imagine the guy scooping out the fish of your choice with a net, from the aquarium of course..the fish splish splashing all the way and on it goes to weighing machine , then finally the wok..oh, and later on your dining table, into your stomach and the rest i dont want to go any further.. We had lobsters that day and the interesting thing i learnt about lobsters? - its better to go for decent sized ones so that you get more value out of flesh to shell ratio..smaller ones have more shell, hence paying by weight gets you paying for stuff you dont want.. Getting bigger older lobsters on the other hand compromises on the texture of the meat youre getting...
