I came back to Island Seafood after my first visit 6 years ago. I just wanted to give a special treat to my friend from UK (he is a British gentleman who is very particular in choosing restaurant. That's the reason why I chose Island Seafood as I just couldn't run the risk of letting down my friend).At the end of the day, this gentleman with demanding palate was so satisfied that he told me he would bring his family to the restaurant again.

At the end of the day, this gentleman with demanding palate was so satisfied that he told me he would bring his family to the restaurant again. Back to the food we ordered (in fact we didn't do the ordering. It's all recommended by Ricks (the Executive Chef). We were first served with Bellot Ham as starter. To be honest with you, this is best I have ever had. The great after-taste had stayed in my palate for a long time. After this, I had the famous oysters while my British friend skipped because he doesn't take oysters for personal reason. Needless to say, the Oysters didn't let me down. They were so fresh that they were still moving while I was eating them. (A reminder: don't dip any sauce for the oysters because the best oysters need no sauce. Otherwise, the oysters would be wasted if you do that). The third course was Lobster Bisque. This Lobster Bisque was spinach base, which gave us a different touch than the ordinary lobster bisque served by other restaurants. The last course before the main was the baked Sea Urchin. The fresh sea urchin was mixed with fresh crab meat. The two were just complimenting each other well and gave me an unforgetable mouth feel. Now it came to the main course. I went for the Lamb Rack (medium rare) while my friend went for seabass. The Lamb Rack is one of the best in town. In fact, I wanted also to have a bite for the seabass because it looked very delicious. If I were with my wife, I would have asked her to let me have a bite. However, I just couldn't do that for two reasons: (1) maintaining decent table manner in front of a British gentleman and (2) sharing food between two men could be misleading. Haha. We closed the dinner with Blueberry Sherbert. I am a very health conscious person who wouldn't usually end a dinner with dessert. When Ricks recommended me the Sherbert, I hesitated for a moment but finally accepted the recommendation out of politeness. You know what. I finished the whole Sherbert merely because it's irresistably tasty. The dinner was almost 3 hours long. Time's well spent for great food needs no rush. Finally a nice surprise as far as the bill is concerned. I thought I would have spent over $2,000 but the bill was only $1,600. Value for money! Cheers.
p.s. I didn't take picture for all courses simply because it's kind of lacking table manner in front of a British. However, I did ask for his permission to take a few photos because I really want to share with with my wife. I used an excuse of sending him the photos afterwards so that he could show his father. Clever me!
