A whopping $18 for this seafood main but it’s also one that had my mind blown. Wrapped in a flower-shaped aluminium foil was some fresh mixed seafood stir-fried in their home-made spicy otah paste. You can expect some prawns, squid, fish slices, vegetables in it, but what was more unexpected were the coconut slices that were cooked together in the otah paste, something that we don’t come across commonly.

Having heard from a Thai colleague who was also present, adding coconut meat into an otah in Thai cuisine is in fact quite common. Interesting twist for me, as the coconut with its fruity creaminess stood out in this otah. Seafood was fresh, and the otah paste was reasonably spicy. Instead of serving a block of otah, the otah was mashed up and crumbled easily upon each scoop. Interesting mouthfeel as there’s no need for the usual firm bite.

Enjoy eating house and bar is a #burpplebeyond partner, imagine getting 2 seafood mains at the price of 1, how worthwhile it is!
