Black Pepper Slipper Lobster
3.5
at Seafood Market
-Ermita, Manila-
with KD, MG
In the wake of the restaurant’s recent change in ownership (see generally 6.122 Prawns with Ginger & Onion), the kitchen has undergone a marked improvement, as reconfirmed for the second time tonight. Singaporean-style black pepper stir-fry was outstanding, savory and spicy, providing a delicate kick to the lightly deep-fried pieces of slipper lobster — a new addition to the range of available preparations, this could work with jumbo prawns as well. After a hard year of struggling to develop a menu from the limited offerings at this place, I’m happy to be overwhelmed by the new options.
Finally a good meal 🙂
also, pretty sure those are straw mushrooms, not button. we call them cao gu.
good catch on the mushrooms! thanks!
