This new selection of dishes allows you to indulge in delicious dishes that are worthy of a fine dining restaurant but with the prices of casual dining one. Exciting isn't it?

To begin, I chose the Salmon Chowder.

Initially, I was like "Salmon? Chowder? Sounds strange.... It's like fish chowder.... O_O" But after tasting it, I was like *mind blown*

What I especially love about this soup is that there are REAL CHUNKS OF SALMON IN IT!!
Photobucket
 YUM!

Next up, 
Stewed Tomato Mussels
Photobucket
I have never really cared for mussels but after trying these succulent dish, I want more. The mussels are served with baguettes. They go extremely well together!!! 
Photobucket
I really liked the combination! But I stopped myself from eating too much bread because I was afraid I won't be able to stomach the other exciting dishes! ;( I'll be back for you mussels & bread......

and the Chipotle Fish Skewers

The one is one of my favourite dishes. It reminded me of satay.. Fish satay...? I love how tender the fish was. The smoky Chipotle sauce on top added a bang of flavour. It's like a party in my mouth. *faints* so... good....... 

Moving on to the main courses....
Scallop Americana

Look at how generous they are with the scallops!!!!!!!! I am more of a spaghetti bolognese type of person so I thought this dish would be boring and plain. I WAS WRONG. Despite the simplicity of it, it does give off a really nice flavour. The spaghetti was cooked to perfection- al dente! And the sweet and juicy scallops sautéed with capsicums with a hint of black pepper made this a wonderful pasta to savour!!!! 

By the way, while the staff were serving us the pasta they all wore these adorable moustaches!
Photobucket
At first, I was like "Movember!!!!!" Then someone corrected me and said, "It's pasta. Italian. Moustaches are kinda Italian..." Aaa.... I get it...  How cute!!!! I swear this restaurant is full of cool ideas!

Hey all you spicy food fanatics! I have a surprise for you! The people at The Manhattan FISH MARKET have heard your prayers! So they introduced this new dish... 

Spicy Baked Fish

(Sorry I had to use the pro picture because mine looked pretty awful haha!)
Warning, this is not for the faint-hearted! Savour a baked Dory fillet in extra spicy marination, complemented with Garlic Herb rice and vegetables, guaranteed to jumpstart your senses. 


Our second main dish was from the "All Dressed Up" selection! I got the..
Poached Cheesy Dory

All you cheese lovers, you will fall in love with this. IN LOVE I TELL YOU. Inside this perfectly poached dory fillet lies a surprise of creamy cheesy goodness!!! Topped off with spicy cream sauce, it's really the perfect dish. Plus, it was plated so beautifully ;)

I had to leave early so I missed 2 dished THAT I REALLY REALLY WANTED TO EAT. 

They were the..
Flaming King Prawn Platter
"Treat yourself to the luxurious King prawn, flamed to give it that delicious caramelized flavour, served with Garlic Herb rice and vegetables."
Photobucket
I mean seriously... Look how good that looks....... Don't worry prawns... I'll come back for you!
Plus, according to the other bloggers who stayed for this dish, they actually come to your table and set the food on fire...?!?!

All that for only $23.95! I have to say, it's pretty worth it! That's a lot!!!!!

and the Sexy Hot Whole Fish 
"Poached in a spicy broth, you won’t be able to resist the goodness of a whole fish, accompanied by delicious juicy scallops and calamari, served with carrot, onion and celery. Also comes with baguette to soak up the delicious broth."
Photobucket
 This looks absolutely mouth watering. I love fish. And scallops and calamari. I really wish I could have tried this :(

When the staff knew that I was in a rush, they were happy to serve me the dessert first when I asked. I love sweet stuff. I was determined not to leave without eating my...

Cookie Sundae

Instead of giving a boring old cup of cookies & cream ice cream, they spunked it up and served me a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of some crushed oreo cookies and chocolate fudge. So good..... I love oreos! This is really affordable too! At only $3.50, you can have a nice satisfying dessert!!
