Cafe-hunter, X and Nana on a mission to find food at Tanjong Pager area
after 6pm!
I felt that there is a need to write about this place that we visited during the long weekend in August. Yes, it is that long ago!. X and I decided to explore around Tanjong Pagar. We reached there at around 6.30pm, but most of the cafes are either closed during the long weekend or at 6pm.
We were really hungry when we were there hope it explain why I use the cub picture! At first, we intend to have Korean BBQ since Tanjong Pager have a wide variety of it. But we really want to try something new, so we walked to Duxton Road randomly shhh... stomach stop shouting!. We came across..

32-33 Duxton Road
Singapore 089497
A simple looking restaurant that gives off a very old english wine stall feel feeling ah. And... there is no queue when we walked past it. But after we were seated down, the crowd start to keep coming in non-stop. Most of the customers regardless of ladies or guys are dressed to impress, except for X and I are in comfy clothes which are tee and shorts. Okay back to the restaurant... Firstly, the staffs are very observant. When we drank finish the plain water, they filled it up immediately thumbs up!.
When I saw the menu, my first reaction "Wah, only 3 mains only?". Okay... 4 main courses if you count the Grilled or Steamed live whole lobster as 2 different dishes. And they only serve lobster leh!
Some random facts about Lobsters!
Chilli Lobster ($58++)
"Uncle, more mantou please. Thank you.", this is the first thought when I saw this dish. They are very generous with the sauce or gravy whatever you called it, so scared that we don't have enough mantou to eat with the sauce. The sauce is sweet, not like the usual spicy kind we had with Chilli Crab. I actually prefer this sauce, X don't really like it la. But both of us agreed that the mantou and lobster are good! Mantou is so crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. So sedap good!
Grilled Live Whole Lobster ($58++)
This is served with very-atas-looking Salad, Straight Cut Thick Fries and Herbed Butter Sauce. The lobster meat really deserves my 2 thumbs up! Even though the lobster is grilled, the meat is not dry at all. What sorcery is this? It is sweet and so juicy. I love their thick straight cut fries! X love everything about this dish from the salad to sauce.
They are not joking when they said they will serve the whole lobster! Just look at the photos, very very 满足 satisfied. Like finally there is a store that serve a whole JUICY lobster, not those skinny-meat-little kind. The lobster taste a little sweet and more to the sea water kind of taste X said the sea water part. This is the face I give when they serve us the main courses.
