Saver Menu for 4 Persons @ Orchid Live Seafood HomeTeamNS Khatib Branch in Singapore #lobsterporridge

A That friend came over to Singapore for a vacation last week and being a good host; we had been bringing him to a number of dining establishments in Singapore like hawker centres and being Koma.

He loved the food but as with every human, there's always a ranking and for him; the best was the meal we had on his last night in the little red dot. Dinner at Orchid Live Seafood!

Guess the sight, that greeted him when we stepped into the restaurant, must have been disturbing. We were the only group of customers and his experience over the past few days told him there were long queues everywhere. To be fair, it was 5pm and the restaurant had just opened for the dinner operations.

I am not going to talk about the Lobster Porridge, Topshell Crispy Tofu (with Thai chilli sauce), Steven Chicken and Baby Kai Lan; they had been mentioned quite a number of times in this post and this post, and taste had been consistently good.

Difference was that we opted for the saver meal (set menu) which would be good for four persons, although for families on starch-restricted diets; five or six persons might be okay too. Another change is that we upgraded the baby lobster to a big southern Australian lobster at S$34.00. Meat was definitely chunkier and sweeter.

The saver meal differed from the buddy meal (for two persons) by providing an extra dish; the H.K. steamed live seabass! I am not much of a fish lover although the rest seemed to enjoy the fish a lot.

What I was most interested in was the yam paste! Udder ice cream was part of the saver meal but we were given the option to change to yam paste at no additional cost. Even though I didn't know the cost differentials between the two, I was so craving for yam paste and after securing agreement with the rest; we went ahead with the change.

Although not as good as the epic yam paste from the now defunct Mong Hing restaurant, it was the better ones I have had in recent time. Not overly oily with a creamy texture; the sweetness was just right and the only thing lacking was maybe more sweet potatoes! I relished every single spoonful put into my mouth!

A 101% satisfied group.
