Jom Makan! American Style Seafood @ Manhattan Fish Market, Mid Valley Mega Mall, Bangsar. (November 2011)

Assalamualaikum Readers,

Are you craving for some American style seafood? Let's hit The Manhattan Fish Market then! (or as Anwar Hadi calls it "Merket Ikan Man Hattan" LOL!)

As usual the star of The REAL CurHat Sue, my baby sis Deena. =) Yes I'm not that camera friendly myself. =)

We saw the promotion here, seems pretty good so we were attracted.

Ummi & Nana selecting a promotional set.

The interior decor is very American diner-like. As you can see it's all about fish. We have tried Manhattan Fish Market before at their other outlets, but at Mid Valley it's our first time here.

I love the semi oval red seats & purple lights.

Smile Nana. =)

OF-FISH-CIALLY THE BEST SEAFOOD IN TOWN!
Will it prove its tagline? And we shall see. =)

Yup this was the value set that we chose. Best Seafood for Two
(but will be sufficient for Three too we bet) at only RM 49.90 for the scrumptious looking courses.

My drink. This is not a part of the Best Seafood For Two set.

Citrus Mint. RM 7.90
Cooled my day down with this crushed ice in refreshing lemon juice drink with a dash of cool mint.

It was certainly yummy for me! SUPER REFRESHING! =)

Totally love the pretty colour & texture. =)

Still not a part of the set.

Clam Chowder. RM 7.90
Hot, Creamy, Delicious with a generous amount of clam.

And now we shall start with the Best Seafood for Two Set at RM 49.90 (inclusive of 2 fizzies, we chose 1 Pepsi & 1 Ice Lemon Tea).

I will put the normal price for each ala carte as well to figure out how much we have saved.

Garden Salad with Honey Mustard. RM 8.90
Crunchy garden greens drizzled with our own choice of Thousand Island Sauce, Cajun Honey Mustard or Italian dressings.

We may add Tuna (RM 3.90), Grilled Salmon (RM 4.90) or Scampi Shrimps (RM 5.90)

I'm not much of a vege person since I was a kid, but this salad was surely fresh & crunchy as promised. As for the honey mustard, well I HATE MUSTARD and think that mustard will ruin any meal but surprisingly the honey mustard is delish! =D

Ummi lookin' so serious. =D

Well actually she was so into watching the Fishing video shown, a collection of deep sea fishing experiences from all over South East Asia.

Moving on, now it's time to try the Quad Delights. RM 15.90
Fried calamari, fried country mushrooms & fried shrimps served with coleslaw & raisins - great for sharing.

It's meant for 2 but since there was the 3 of us,  we got 1 each from the 3 selections alhamdulillah. Although they are fried food, they don't feel oily so it's really nice to be eaten with the dips. The raisins in the coleslaw also sweetens the onions but very subtly.

Finally there's me haha! Enjoying my portion of Quad Delights. =)

Now the heavier course, Manhattan Baked Dory in Garden Herbs. RM 18.90
Baked Dory in wholesome Garden Herbs, served on a bed of garlic, Herb Rice with scrumptious broccoli and carrots.

The Herb Rice was okay but the best element of this dish was definitely the Baked Dory Fish with Garlic condiments. So fresh, so tender, so so so delicious. =)

And here is our final main course, Shrimp My Olio. RM 17.90
Sauteed Shrimps & Spaghetti swirled in garlic, coriander and olive oil dusted with zesty chili flakes.

The taste was nice but although I know it's Olio, but for me it's tad too dry. Nevertheless I love the Shrimps because of their tender meat and the size was quite big and also the amount was quite generous. If I'm not mistaken 3 for each of us.
Yup that's it! I can't really recall the price of a soft drink & Ice Lemon Tea but the total without them so far was RM 61.60. Say the drinks were about RM 10-15, then we have saved around RM 20-25.

Great buy wasn't it? The food was great, portions were generous, and the affordable set for 2 was just good enough for 3 so I seriously recommend for you to try the promotional sets. =)

However, the minus point was, the staff were polite but they were not very attentive. More standing around then checking on the customers' tables. Particularly the young girl whom attended our table did not even know the Soup of the Day when we asked her & we had to ask for our Clam Chowder twice because they seemed to have forgotten about it. Hence, the management must do a better job so the customers will be happy because food-wise, they taste is only slightly lower than Bubba Gump's however price-wise they win & their shrimps are much bigger than Bubba Gump's when shrimps are the signature food for Bubba Gump. =)
