Somboon Seafood, Bantadthong, Bangkok, Thailand

We had dinner again at Somboon Seafood. It opens till late, which was great, as we finished late at the gym that night. One thing about Somboon was the speed in which the dishes were churned out. We didn't quite notice it on the first night, but it certainly didn't escape our attention the second night we had dinner there. Barely 2 minutes after our orders were taken, the dishes were all out on our table. No way the dishes were made fresh upon order. They were probably pre-cooked, chilled, then re-heated after orders. Except the lobster, because the Fiance picked it right out of the tank.

Another thing to note is that they don't accept credit cards here, so if you're planning to spend a bomb here, make sure you have enough cash on you.

The Fiance was craving lobster, and opted for the Grilled Lobster with Garlic (5700 Baht). On hindsight, we shouldn't have ordered this. It was obscenely expensive, costing about S$250. Then again, we can't say we got ripped off because they did let us know the price of the dish and got our approval before cooking the lobster. Apart from the extremely painful pricetag of the dish, this was delicious. It was a humongous lobster, meaty and succulent, with lots of aromatic garlic to provide flavour.


The Steamed Seabass with Soy Sauce (360 Baht) wasn't particularly fresh, and the steaming methodology only served to emphasize the fact. Also, the flesh deep in the middle was still cold. We should have stuck to the fried fish instead.


I loved the Roasted Fresh Water Prawns with Glass Noodle in Hot Pot (250 Baht) though. This was the best dish of the night. The clear vermicelli soaked in all the flavours of the ham and garlic and prawn stock so it was rich and tasty. Prawns were huge, meaty and sweet.
