It's been some time since we last had oysters and so after reading some positive reviews on this restaurant, we decided to give it a try.It's another upstairs restaurant with a terrace, and luckily we picked the indoors as people were smoking outside. The decor is resembling the Renaissance style with a huge drawing of the Last Supper (which was actually quite awkward looking at Jesus Christ and his disciples having their last supper when we were literally having a supper...). I guess the design
It's another upstairs restaurant with a terrace, and luckily we picked the indoors as people were smoking outside. The decor is resembling the Renaissance style with a huge drawing of the Last Supper (which was actually quite awkward looking at Jesus Christ and his disciples having their last supper when we were literally having a supper...). I guess the designer wanted to add some modern feeling to the restaurant and so the lighting is bluish, but they were far from fetching to me. So indeed I had little expectation on its food when I didn't really like its decor.
We first ordered a fresh oyster platter which served a variety of oysters from different origins (still don't quite understand why the ice needed to be embellished by blue lights again. Would the dish look cooler with the lights??!). But I appreciated their ideas of putting small signs in front of each oyster for our recognition. We started eating from the right side and then counter-clockwise. They were all fresh and juicy! Obviously I am not an expert in oysters as I couldn't really recall the tastes when looking back at the names but I always prefer Pacific to the rest. Next we had an oyster (again) chowder soup which tasted better than in the photo.
I thought this restaurant is only specialized in oyster and thus had relatively lower expectation on the main courses. But they were surprisingly nice!!
We shared 2 dishes - first came the deep-fried pork hock. I must say this was the best one I had ever tried before. The deep-fried outer part was crispy, and the meat was tender, unlike those with a huge bone or thick skin leaving no meat to eat.
Another main course was grilled flounder. It tasted good with the cream sauce.
We were totally full and contented by then and eventually gave up eating any desserts.
