Located in the heart of Orchard Road is Tung Lok Seafood’s latest branch. In between your shopping spree, pop into this restaurant at Orchard Central for a taste of Singapore-style seafood. Perched next to the rooftop garden of the shopping centre, you will get a good view of the bustling shopping belt while you feast on the freshest catch.
Service is brisk and efficient, and dishes arrive swiftly after your orders are placed. For starters, dive into the signature Tung Lok Seafood Platter which includes poached prawns, sashimi, crab meat salad, fresh oysters and Mexican cerviche. Alternatively, opt for the deep-fried eggplant to munch on. Scattered with tasty pork floss, each piece of eggplant is light and crispy on the outside and soft inside.
The famous wasabi-mayonnaise prawns is highly recommended too. Juicy and deep-fried to perfection, each prawn is coated with piquant wasabi sauce. For fish, the marble goby is deep-fried until crispy and accompanied by a special sweet and spicy sauce. If you are dining in a group, order the crabs to share. Favourites include the black pepper crab sautéed with a special blend of black pepper and fresh peppercorns. Or Tung Lok Chilli Crab whose gravy is made from a unique combination of tomato sauce and fresh hand-squeezed orange juice with thin slices of orange.
The restaurant has just launched its dinner buffet priced at $38.80 for adults and $28.80 for children. Forty items of seafood and sashimi plus dim sum and delicious Cantonese dishes are available daily. Orchard Central #11-05, 181 Orchard Road, Tel: 6834 4888, www.tunglokseafood.com
