Blue Lotus Grill House wowed me so much, I reserved a table at their flagship store shortly after just for a taste of those crabs.
It's beginning to look alot like Mid-Autumn with these lanterns hanging all over.
King Prawn Truffle Wonton Soup ($12)
One wonton in the umami broth that definitely created an impression at first whiff than first sip. This was good, just not great enough to kickstart the rest of the heavenly dishes we were just about to embark on.
Blue Lotus Signature Chilli Pomelo Crab ($8/100g)
Fiery red crabs in a shower of tangy, mildly spicy and lipsmacking delicious gravy. Wong Ah Yoke was not wrong in classifying this the "King of Chilli Crab", and I may have disagreed with his previously glowing reviews, this was completely justified.
1.1 kilos and six mantous was more than sufficient for both of us and the bibs are a must to don, else face a splashing red affair.
Wok-fried Kagoshima Wagyu Beef Tenderloin ($48)
The stone pot was the major saving grace in keeping our food warm as I busied myself polishing off the crabs. Sizzling hot peppery wagyu beef cubes - kagoshima or not, they were explosions of flavour and I mused if they ever considered a black pepper chilli crab, the sauce for this dish was excellent enough for yet another King of Crabs meal.
Thank goodness for the waitress who cautioned us against over ordering because our table was definitely pushing the edges with plates and bowls, and the limited stomach space as well. Yet that said, the garlic fried brown rice was just soooo good to ignore. Mushrooms gave it an earthy flavour and meaty bite to this vegetarian course. Brown rice certainly made it healthier but I loved it for the texture.
I wish there was space for dessert, and that just warrants a revisit soon enough for the rest of the droolicious courses - and I can definitely do with another kilo of crabs!
