Stuffed from the sea
Saturday, July 14, 2012

So to make sure our trip had a bit of touristy element, we decided to include Chinatown in the itinerary. But I'll leave the full glory of Chinatown picture 'til the next post.

What's missing in Singapore is really cheap seafood, where you can order anything you like on the menu and still be left with some change for dessert.

Read some good review on tripadvisor for T&K Seafood, so off we went in search of this place. The search didn't take too long though, our tuk tuk driver knew exactly where it was located. Score! or not. Either it was a local haunt through and through, OR a huge tourist trap.



T&K was located in a shop house. Though it was barely 5pm, just late enough to classify it dinner time, the first level of T&K was already packed to the brim. We had to climb to the second floor which was packed with diners as well, go through a cram narrow balcony which was part of a kitchen, to the next shop house unit and finally found available seating.

G and I found this photo hilarious, coz the kitchen staff actually posed for our photo. Photobomb!


What better than beer to accompany seafood, and since we're in bangkok, G decided to go with some local Chang beer. Was $3 for a large bottle.


Different concoction of chilis, mmm simply love how much spices and herbs go into thai cooking.


Oyster omelette, you have to ask the guy how this tasted, because I don't take them oysters. 'All the better..', claims the boyfriend. He gets them all!


Now this is my favourite, yellow curry prawns!!! Just look how huge the prawn heads are....



Crab vermicelli, this blew our socks off! First of all, CRAB, my favourite seafood EVERRR!


And then at the bottom of the claypot we found a huge chunk of pork lard.


All in all, we spent less than $30 on all these, not a must visit in my opinion. But good seafood at reasonable prices. Eating with the guy made it even more enjoyable!
