They say that imitation is the best form of flattery. I was therefore super duper excited to check out London's @burgerandlobstersg which "inspired' the lobster joint craze here long before they even set up shop in Singapore.

My lunch kakis and I shared a combo for 4 which came with a grilled 1.5l fresh Atlantic lobster and 4 mains.

For mains, I had their signature lobster roll. Chilled chunks of lobster meat dressed in lemon mayo is
served in a toasted brioche roll, and accompanied by lemon and garlic butter. I enjoyed the combination of the savoury lobster meat with the sour and creamy lemon and garlic butter. I cant help feeling a little unsatisfied though as portions were on the small side.

The grilled lobster though was a huge disappointment. The 1.5l lobster probably dieted better than I did because they was really not much meat in it. I think they over cooked it because the lobster meat was really dry and dare I say it, tasteless. I also realized after lunch that they did not serve us the accompanying lemon garlic butter which might have helped salvage the dish.

I am not sure if I expected too much but this was a huge disappointment considering the huge hype and fanfare it came with.
