Squeezed lines of excited faces slowly inched into a humbly decorated kiosk, bareboned and streaked with pale wood accents. A queer sight within the luxe fittings of Isetan. I'm talking about the new @lukeslobstersg, whose 𝗹𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 ($25.50) has invited much fanfare.

You'd first notice two fluffy buns struggling to hold back an overflow of chunky scarlet lobster. Eye-soothing but also rendered a slightly skewed proportion, as the light buttery crisp of the buns got drowned out by the rest of the flavours and textures.

To sharply showcase the lobster's freshness, its meat was seasoned rather tastefully and subduedly, submerging the palate in a crisp crustacean sweetness whilst carrying a sliver of brine. Occasionally, light notes of lemon and creamy mayo still managed to creep in for some pizzazz.

It was solid but didn't leave much of an impression, candidly speaking. It was better than $18 lobster rolls, but not by a huge stretch. A hilarious scene which lingered though, was a ramble of Spotify Ads playing in the background as I took my first bite.
