Fortune

Seems that i am starting to become a steamboat expert. I haf been having steamboat dinner once every 2 weeks since Sep. Being a true blue Singaporean, i am always looking for the one which offer the most at the lowest price. What a discovery it was for me when i chance upon fortune cuisine at sunset way. Havnt been to sunset way for some donkey years and was quite surprise to how it have developed. With a few particular gd restaurant (To be reviewed another day).

Fortune cuisine for just one price it offers both a steamboat and bbq buffet. If i didnt remember wrongly Weekday Lunch $17.80++, Dinner $22.80++ Weekend Lunch $22.80++, Dinner $27.80++. What it serves:

Seafood: Crayfish, flower crab, prawns, green mussels, cockles, fish, shishamo (which is my fav). They are all so fresh as compared to some steamboat restautants where you wouldnot want another bite after just 1 mouthful.

Meat: Sorry i wouldnt even bother to name them cos there are just so many. Beef short rib, beef belly, beef steak, teriyaki chicken, mongolia lamb, beef shabu shabu, pork belly and so much more. Look at the beef they are marbled somemore talk abt quality food. And again all so fresh.

Cooked food: Curry chicken, fried rice, dried chilli chicken, sashimi, sushi, tempuras. I didnt try much of the cooked food cos was too full after 3 serving of seafood and 4 serving of meat. But discovered their ebi tempura is very popular, theres a chef whose job is to fry them all night and i literally mean all night. I m there at 6pm till 8pm and i didnt even see him stop frying. Talk abt popular. The Ebi tempura ran out the moment it touch the tray. I had to wait for a few rounds before i can get 3 of them. When i finally had them its alreadycoming to the end of my meal but it still taste so delicious. Batter was light and prawn was fresh. (Comparable to all the mid class jap restaurants where you need to dish out $6 for just 3 of them)

Service: Most of the waiters and waitress looks like students working part-time but under the strict supervision of the manager. Service is good. All requests were attended to immediately and they will even help you bbq the food if you ask them to.

BBQ: Shishamo, Crayfish, Flower Crab

Aust beef short rib, steak and beef belly

Lamb Chops
Ebi Tempura

Jap food

Overall: A place with good food at a reasonable price which i will recommend to all.
