So the infamous Giant Germaine Craving hit yet again yesterday. Sometimes, while I'm munching on that must-eat-no-matter-how-much-it-cost-fill-in-the-blanks, I feel a tinge of pity (and guilt) for my wallet. In all seriousness, I do think I'll go broke someday just trying to satisfy the random demands-of-thy-tummy. This time round, the irrational craving was even more specific than usual. It had to be something really filling, something really fishy and something really cheesy. Thus, mystery friend R and I solemnly proceeded to The Central to the Manhattan Fish Market! :) :) :)
I absolutely love the food at this restaurant! Ok, granted, I love the food everywhere. Still, this is MY POST so I'm allowed to wax lyrical over whatever I want to wax lyrical about. I order the same item everytime I come here, the waistline-busting seafood platter for two!
This fab platter usually comes with calamari, fries, butter rice, prawns and oysters. What's unique is the presentation of the food. Upon serving the platter, the waitress uses a torch to 'flame' the prawns! And don't say I didn't warn you- the prawns are very, very addictive. Luckily, my mystery friend has a slight allergy to prawns, so I got 3 out of the 4 prawns. Hahaha.
I especially love going to the outlet at The Central because the outdoor alfresco seating area overlooks the Singapore River. Perfect ambience for a good dinner! You know, looking at the above photo is a baaaad idea. The cravings are kicking in again. Do you usually control or give in to your (absurd) cravings?
