♥I hate you Seafood Harvest @ Bugis

Daddy spent alot of money on food today.

For lunch, he brought the family to Hoshi at IMM. I call that restaurant a TRUE japanese restaurant unlike others. Because they only have chopsticks for you to use and no spoon, not even one for the miso soup- japanese style. But they do have the small spoons for desserts and chawanmushi. All of us had four different bento sets which was quite expensive (average $22) but worth the money. At least we enjoyed it.

We went to Seafood Harvest at Bugis for dinner, but without my brother this time. Thank goodness Daddy reserved a table or else we would have to wait in the long queue.
Seafood Harvest is actually part of Jack's place for those who didn't know.

When I opened the menu, man, the prices just made me want to close the menu. Then I took a closer look at the dishes, and realised it's because they were Lobsters. Saw this page with all the seafood platters, and what caught my eye was the Singapura Platter-$68.90. The picture showed a nice big lobster in chilli crab sauce, then I read the description, and thought it wasn't at all worth it, because there's mee goreng and stuff like sotong ball and fried crab claw, all that you can find at Old Chang Kee for $1.20 per stick. Daddy decided to order that and share with Aunt Waileng, because it was a platter for two. I ordered a crayfish with steak in brown sauce-$19. We upsized our meals to a complete set meal for $7.90 per person. I was quite upset with Daddy ordering that stupid Singapura Platter because I saw something else on the same page of the menu that would be more worth it. The Singapura Platter came and occupied almost half the table. So big huh, but I think it's damn waste space lah.

My crayfish and steak in brown sauce.

Singapura Platter consisting of:
1. Maine Lobster in chilli crab sauce- this was not bad.
2. 3 miserable satay prawns
3. Soggy french fries
4. Green salad with no salad dressing
5. Baby's portion of tasteless cold prawns and jellyfish
6. 5 almost tasteless and oily small sotong balls
7. 2 oily and cheapo crab claws
8. 2 oily spring rolls
9. Oily and not so appealing mee goreng with peas
10. Sambal Chilli with a layer of oil on top
11. Fish slices
12. Lastly, oh-so-wow coriander as garnish.

To anyone who goes to any Seafood Harvest, NEVER EAT THE SINGAPURA PLATTER. It totally sucks. It's as if you are paying $38 for the lobster and $30.90 for mee goreng, sotong ball, spring roll and fries. Waste your money only.

One more thing. It was a manager who served us, when she took our order, I heard Aunt Waileng saying that she wanted warm water damn clearly. Instead we were all served iced water. Then it was the same manager when I asked for tomato ketchup for my meal, it never came. What in the world was she doing! She still had the cheek to come back to our table and ask how was the Singapura Platter. I seriously wanted to tell her how lousy the food was. I was just being nice. But thinking back, I think I should have feedback to her that they should take it off the menu.

Aiyah, it's just a bad bad dinner for me lah.

I'm talking champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
