We
visited NUDE Seafood as part of our foodies’ monthly gathering. Due to our
group size, NS asked us to pre-order the food in advanced, to ensure we did not
miss out anything from the menu and we have sufficient cooking time. What a
thoughtful gesture.
We
started with smaller dishes.
Tofu
Skin Salad ($5.80). The beancurd skin use is similar to those commonly used in
China. It has a slight rubbery texture, filled with the traditional smoky aroma
of boiled soymilk. Together with the spinach and cloud ear fungus plus sour
plum vinaigrette, it becomes an appetizing and refreshing starter.

Crab
& Egg White Chawanmushi ($8). This is a luxurious version of chawanmushi
and it worth every penny. Using only the egg white, the texture of the steam
egg is smooth, silky and infused with the sweetness of the crab meat.

Broccoli
($5.80). Simple stir-fried broccoli. It is crunchy and topped with almond for
additional crunchiness.

Black
Pepper King Prawn ($6.90), min order is 2 pcs and served with fried mantou. The
prawns are crispy and aromatic. The sauce is thick, with strong assam flavour
and black pepper. The crispy yet fluffy fried mantou nicely complement this
dish and we use it to polish up the sauce.

Gochujang
Cauliflower ($6.80). Combining the crispy texture Cauliflower coated with
signature Korean red pepper paste. The pickled daikon helps to balance the
overwhelming flavour; however, I find the crispy almond is unnecessary.

to the bigger portion dishes.
Hickory-Smoked
Salmon ($12.80) in Bamboo Leaf. The salmon has a moist with a nice smoky aroma
to it. It is nice to eat on its own or with a bowl of rice.

‘Squirrel’
Grouper ($18.80). Crispy deep-fried grouper fillet, highly stacked with sweet
and sour sauce as the base. The oatmilk espuma on top gave it a wow factor. I
like the juicy lychee, bursting with sweetness that enhances the sauce in this
dish.

Steamed
Pomfret ($13.80). One side of pomfret fillet, steam on a lotus leaf and topped
with ‘Mei Cai’ vegetables. You can taste the natural flavours and the firm
texture of the pomfret, topped with crunchy and salty mei cai with a mild spicy
flavour in it.

Oatmilk
Spinach Tofu ($12.80). Smooth and velvety spinach tofu topped with crispy kale.
The sliced mushrooms and tofu are basked in the gravy. It tasted like Chinese
olive leaves.

Miso-Grilled
Halibut ($20.80). A very simple presentation of the dish. The charred miso
flavour works well with the fatty halibut fillet. It is served with robust
mushroom broth to bind the shiitake and spinach together. I can finish a bowl
of rice with just this dish.

For
carbo, we ordered Salted Fish Blue Pea Flower Rice, Jinhua Ham ($4.80) &
Blue Pea Mushroom Rice ($4.80). Using Nigata sushi rice, the rice is texture on
these both carbo dishes are plump and juicy. The taste of Jinhua ham is very
subtle and overpowered by the sweetness of the corn.

Meanwhile,
the mushroom rice is outstanding. It is tasty and the umami flavour from the
mushroom really shines. The content of the chopped mushrooms in the rice are
very generous and the dish can be eaten on its own without the need to be complemented
by other dishes.

For
desserts, housemade Tiramisu is a must-try here. Each layer in the tiramisu is
very solid, filled with thick cream, solid coffee flavour and rum. This might
not be a permanent item on the menu, so keep a lookout for it.

The
restaurant setting is casual and modern, with Jazz music playing in the
background serenading the diners. The open kitchen concept is an attraction on
its own. Service is attentive and friendly. A good place to dine for casual or
even business dining.

Overall,
it was like a gastronomic journey of in the sea world. There are many different
types of fishes to try cooked in different ways. The seafood is fresh and it is
enjoyable to the palate. A must try restaurant around Marina Bay Financial
Centre. Cheers!!
