Visited on 5th Sep 2014 (Fri). Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa, Singapore presents Crab Ah! from 1 August 2014. This was held during sunset on the waterfront of the South China Sea on Every Friday - 6.30pm to 9.00pm.
You can enjoy the 5 course set dinner for two :
(Appetiser + Around 1 kg Sri Lankan Crabs + Shrimp Fried Rice + Seasonal Vegetables + Dessert + Free Flow of Bottled Tiger Beer + Red/White Wine = $138++ for two persons (Total bill of $162.40)
You will see this cute "Crab Ah" signboard at the Rasa Sentosa's open carpark!
The hotel is resort style so be prepared that the whole place including the hotel lobby is non-air-conditioned..
Tada - This is Atmosphere By the Sea! The venue where we will be having the 5 course set dinner by the romantic seaside!
The first 3 tables nearest to the waterfront are the best seats to enjoy the charming sea view! An intimate outdoor dining experience! :)
Be prepared to see many peacocks come near you.. There were a total of 4 peacocks came when the food was served. I think it's because they smelled the aromatic food so they came to check it out. Haha! I was really afraid that they will come and disturb us. The staff told me not to worry as they will just pass by and will not come to disturb us. So remember do not feed them any food and they will go off by themselves after a while..
A small tent for an array of desserts
That includes nonya kuehs and a ice-kachang machine for you to make ice-kachang yourself.
Free flow of Teh Tarik
Nice table settings with all the finger bowl and crab crackers ready.
First Course: Deep-Fried White Bait
The white bait was deep fried with garlic, salt & pepper! Very crispy and highly addictive!! Fantastic Appetiser to start off the meal while waiting for the main crab!
2nd Course: We chose to cook the Crab in Superior XO Sauce + 6 pieces of Golden Deep-Fried Mantou Buns
You can dip the Mantou buns into the XO sauce. Yummy!
You can choose to cook the crab in your favourite style with a choice from the 4 sauces (Chilli, Black Pepper, Salted Egg Or Steamed in Superior XO Sauce). The first 3 choices are very common that you can find at anywhere so we decided to choose the last choice that are not so popular. To our surprise, this XO Sauce complemented very well with the crab, super nice, it's something like oyster sauce! It's too aromatic till only our table attracted the flies. Most of the tables ordered Chilli and Salted egg but no flies.. We still enjoyed the yummy fresh crab though.. The crabs here were very fresh and nice!!
3rd Course: Seasonal Vegetables
Note: After the crab is served, they will serve the vegetables & the fried rice together shortly for you to eat the crab with the fried rice & vegetables together. If you do not like all to be served together (Unable to consume all at a time and the food get cold easily), remember to inform the staff to serve the side dishes at a later time when you place your order.
4th Course: Shrimp Fried Rice
I love the shrimps here, very succulent! A fragrant shrimp fried rice!
5th Course: Tropical Ice-Cream Gelato
1 Scoop of Teh Tarik and 1 Scoop of Pandan Gelato for per person to end the feast on a sweet note! I don't really like the Teh Tarik, i prefer the Pandan. The Pandan Gelato here has a super strong Pandan fragrance which i love so much!!! But it's a tad powdery otherwise it will be perfect!
Very coarse ice here, hawker ones are much more nicer. You can skip this ice-kachang..
They have very nice Teh Tarik drink here, you can help yourself from the pot at the tent there.. The nonya kuehs were nice too!
A romantic night with free flow of wine and beer! Enjoying the red wine with the sea breeze.. Damn shiok ar.......
There was a live band going around to each table to let you choose a song for them to sing in front of you. And i chose the song "Love Me" by Colin Raye.. Though it's not easy to sing this song, but the team still manage to finish the whole song. Really appreciate their effort! When the live band sing directly to us in front of our table, i feel a bit awkward as this is my first time experienced such moment as we usually only see such scenes on TV drama.. Haha... There were a few tables celebrated their birthday here so you will hear the live band sing Happy Birthday song to them. So for those who runs out of idea for birthday celebration, you can consider to celebrate here. A very special place! :)
The staff will put a LED light on each table when the sky turns dark..
Beautiful Rasa Sentosa Resort at night time!
You can come here to stroll by the beach after your meal.
Service here was quite good and the food was nice and served fast! As the whole place is non-airconditioned, i suggest just wear in casual so that you can enjoy the dinner comfortably. Though the crabs are not that much, but with the appetiser, side dishes, array of desserts & free flow of beverages will definitely make you very full. Overall it's a very delightful & unique experience, so do bring your date to enjoy this crab ah dinner and the beautiful sunset together. Happy dining! :-)
Important Note: Atmosphere by the sea only opens on every Fri night, hence there will be no one to pick up your call to take down reservation with the number indicated on their website.
