Coriander Seeds, Bell Pepper and Onions.

| Ingredients for Crab Steamed in Tomato Sauce with Italian Sausages |
The
best crab dish for night for me was the Crab Steamed in Tomato Sauce
with Italian Sausages. The mud crab was cooked just right, fresh,
sweet flesh, with a solid white wine flavour and tasty spicy Italian
sausage. Chef Aaron Foster did a live demo cooking for this dish, and
it was worth trying as you will not normally find this in Singapore.

The
live carving station was featuring Roast Pork Loin stuffed with
Kimchi. Interesting combination. The meat of the pork is tender,
however you hardly taste the kimchi flavour absorb into the meat. The
pork skin itself was rubbery, where it can do with another 20 to 30
mins in the oven to make it crispy crackling.

Cold Seafood Selection remain one of my highly anticipated station.
Here you can get your fix for fresh oysters, chilled lobsters, crabs,
prawns and mussels. My personal picked from this station are the
oysters, lobsters and prawns. The oyster is fresh, briny with
velvety texture. The lobster and prawns are solid with springy fresh
texture. For dipping sauce, the wasabi mayonnaise with a dash of
lemon got my pick.

Health-conscious
eaters are well-served with their cold cuts station, cheese and salad
stations. It
is basically a smorgasbord here. You are spoilt for choices in cold
cuts, green leafs, dressing and pickles. They also combine different
type of cheese here together with crackers or fruits to your liking.
Across this station, there is a build-your-own Caesar salad station.

The
'Live Grilling Station' will feature Lobster,
Salmon Teriyaki, Tiger Prawns, Calamari and Scallop, in addition to
mainstays such as Turkish Lamb Kebabs, Rosemary Beef, Pork Loin and
Chili-marinated Chicken Breast on rotational basis.
On the
night, we had grilled calamari, chicken and pork loin. The calamari
was tender yet springy, while the chicken was succulent. Both was
nicely grilled with a good smokey flavour. For the pork, it was
slightly too dry and tough for my taste.

Nearing
full capacity, I decided to go for my comfort food from the noodle
station. A definitely must try here is their Thai Beef Noodle. The
clear broth is robust, beefy and infused with radish. The tripe,
brisket and tendon remind me of the beef noodle soup that our friends
brought us in Bangkok. Yum Yum.

For
those who prefer local flavour, you should have their Laksa. Unlike
the normal Singapore laksa, the version here is not as 'lemak' as the
one we regularly ate. The flavours come from the seafood and spices,
which gave the lighter soup the robustness.

Finally,
Desserts station. Their gelato is a must try. We were strongly
recommend to try the Chocolate and Avocado. They are absolutely spot
on. The dark chocolate are solid and totally yum. While the avocado
is smooth, creamy with a hint of avocado flavour.

For
the rest of the pastries and cakes, it was good overall. It rotated on
regular basis, so you hardly eat something repetitive. This time
around the citrus bread and butter pudding was a perfect end to the
Crab-tivating meal.
Overall,
it was a good dining experience to be back at Seasonal Tastes.
Delicious food with wonderful scenery of panoramic view of
Singapore's Marina Bay. Cheers!!
