We indulged in three standout dishes: live paua, live crayfish, and live blue cod. While not a budget-friendly meal, I can confidently say it was worth every cent for the quality and experience.
The steamed blue cod stole the show. The meat was exquisitely tender, moist, and bursting with natural flavor. There wasn’t even a hint of fishiness, and we found ourselves savoring every last morsel—bones and all.
The paua (abalone) was another highlight. We opted to cook it in a spicy numbing oil, which, to my delight, enhanced rather than overpowered the delicate, briny flavors of the paua. It was cooked to perfection—soft, tender, and incredibly satisfying.
Finally, the crayfish congee was a revelation. With its rich, savory-sweet broth, it leaned more Shanghainese in style than Cantonese or Teochew. While the dish came with its fair share of shell fragments (a drawback for some), I relished every last drop.
The service rounded off the experience beautifully. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, and we even had what I believe was the owner stop by a couple of times to ensure everything was to our liking.
If you’re in search of a premium and authentic seafood experience, this place is a must-visit. Every dish was a testament to the quality of their ingredients and thoughtful preparation.

Service okay, food is okay, it's warm and really suitable for winter food. I think they can improve the quality better especially with the taste. I personally find the chilli oil is really tasty and spicy which I like it but the soup itself it's a bit bland and the noodle texture if it can be a bit more chewy I think that gonna be my favorite. Well again just personal opinion. But it's good to eat on the spot. Size pretty big. Toilet is okay.
