Folks in Kedah went half mad when they saw the price. Me , I sulked away, seeing how the outlet I usually patronise was promoting Australian Spanner Crab at that moment.
Well , now that the lobster deal has finally hit our shores , I certainly did not need any convincing .
I mean , how can lobster be cheaper than beef right ?
Well actually , prices have dropped in the western world . Caused by overfishing , which reduced predators , resulting in a lobster glut.
Oh , who cares , I still think this is madness ! One please, thank you .
Here's the thing. There is an additional GST. So , while the final price is RM42.29 instead of RM39.90 , me , it's been some time since I've had lobster and since the price is , simply unbelievable ,
I am all set . Bring it !
What's that ? I need to select one out of 4 flaming sauces ? Gimme the Manhattan sauce then.
Hope this picture explains what the flaming sauce is for. So that the waiter in the silly lobster hat can flame the lobsters backside right in front of you.
I much prefer their garlic butter as the Manhattan sauce tastes like thick sweet mayo but then I was told that it wasn't suitable to flame garlic butter sauce , so there you have it.
Dissect the crustacean with the 2 given tools.
If you are the type who loves to impress your kids , this dish will do just the trick.
Even before you start their saliva will be trickling from the corner of their lips.
The bright red , the big claws , the flame thrower , the apparatus ....huh ....they will hold their breath as you snip away.
In a lobster shell , this is what I think.
Looks wise ....very impressive.
Showmanship ..... not bad. Flame thrower always gets the conversation flowing.
Size wise ....pretty small.
Price wise ..... hard to get any lobster at this ridiculous price anywhere.
Taste and texture .... almost like a small King Crab . Naturally sweet but of course you cannot compare these cold water species to those from our climate. Tail was a bit chewy , claw meat shrunken.
Fun factor ....a winner
Kid wise ..... you are absolutely the best parent in the world !
Location : Manhattan Fish Market restaurant .
