Seafood By The Sea Revisited - Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant

In Singapore, we are really blessed with tonnes of good food. Having a small local market did not seem to stop budding foodpreneurs from whipping their specialty to the market. However, one of the main issues that bug customers big time is drop in standard; service standard, quality of food, taste and the list goes one.

So it is important that food bloggers make a return visit just to see where the standards lie.

This week, my wife and I decided to dine at Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant. While we were walking on the jetty, my eldest daughter said she wanted to eat Chilli Crab. Since there were so few of us, we decided to drop the steamed fish (which my wife wanted) and go for chilli crab instead.

So we ordered the following;
1. Fried rice with seafood and salted fish
2. Sweet and Sour Fish slices
3. Chilli Crab.



A decent meal for a family of 2 adults with 2 toddlers.

I do apologize. The rice were snapped up before I managed to snap a photo.  lolz

How different is this visit from the previous experience?

Environment: On this visit, the air-conditioner seemed to be turned off and the windows were opened. Instead of having cool air from the wall, we were blessed with the sea breeze. Aircon or not, we were comfortable.

Food: The fried rice was quite tasty and we almost wanted to order another plate. The standard of the chilli crab has maintained over the months.

As for the sliced fish, it was crispy and sweet. I loved the fish but the 'gravy' seemed almost like syrup to me. On my previous visit, we ordered sweet and sour fried garoupa, we loved the gravy. So this time, i am taking note of this difference.

Overall, I am a satisfied customer.
