Majestic Bay

Saw a food photo of a flaming crab at another food blog and was curious to find out how special the dish was. Invited my buddies for a meal at this restaurant. Read about the review below.

The Entrance

Herbal Tea $4

Comments: Normal tasting and not that sweet.

Crispy Homemade Tofu with Pork Floss $10

Comments:  The tofu has a nice crisp to it. A pity they used the tasteless tofu but the pork floss enhanced the  taste slightly.

Pork, Sweet and Sour sauce, Guava, Mango Strawberries $27 (M)

Comments: Gives a whole new taste to sweet and sour pork. The pork is slightly fat and chewy. The sweetness from the fruits enhances the taste of the meat.

Singapore Chilli Crab $78.40 $1.40/KG

Comments: One of the better chilli crabs I've eaten in Singapore. The sauce is thick, sweet and spicy. The crab was fresh and the meat was really sweet.

Bread $2.80

Comments: Did not expect their buns to be a french loaf. If I knew, I would not have ordered it, as french loaf with chilli crab sauce is not anything special.

Trio Egg Amaranth leaf $24 (M)

Comments: My favorite vegetable dish as I love century, salted and chicken egg. This dish was no different as it was full of eggs and the amaranth leaf was soft. I found myself finishing the dish because it was really good.

Leopard Garoupa $160 $16/KG

Comments: I've learnt never to order such a fancy fish ever again. I did not realise the $16/kg until I saw the menu again. By the time it was too late. When a fish is steamed with soy sauce, it tastes all the same, therefore if you ever go to this restaurant and want to eat fish, just order a normal and cheap one because at that price for a fish, it's really quite a rip-off.

Hot Plate Tofu with Assorted Seafood $24 (M)

Comments: I like how their tofu was sliced quite thick, the prawn and squid were fresh and the mushrooms were a nice addition to dish as a whole. The sauce was nice and slightly spicy.

Bay's Signature "Kopi" Sauce $78.40 $1.40/KG

Comments: The special dish, saving it for the last. But sadly the dish failed to impress in terms of taste. The flame was something special, definitely not seen at anywhere else in Singapore. Firstly, the crab that came out the first round was not fresh, kudos the manager offered to change it, sadly the 2nd one that came out was also not as fresh as the chilli crab. Anyway the taste of the crab is VERY sweet because of the caramelised sauce around the crab. The flame effect actually dries up the meat too, making the crab difficult to eat. Basically I felt it's just a dish that is nice to see but not nice to eat. Do comment if you have eaten this dish before too and let me know what you think.

Overall review: Overall their food is not bad, except for their fish and crab which were quite expensive. Would recommend the chilli crab rather than their signature crab. The service staff were also good
