Rainbow Seafood Restaurant, HK

To support Christine attempt.. to revive the blog ;p *I'm sorry, I'm one of the culprits who've left the blogging world for ages* I've decided to post something about my MakanMakan experience on the blog. Let's talk about one of the restaurants Li, Jay, CYin, Sze Siew and I visited together this summer!

Presenting...

Rainbow Seafood Restaurant,
16-20, 23-24, Fist St.
Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island, HK
Tel: 2982810

This is one out of the dozens seafood restaurants found in HK's famous seafood island.. Lamma Tou. Heard about it from Kenn Foong, when he went on his HK-Macau trip with his mum two years ago.

What's so special about it?
-They provide free shuttle services (Central-TsimShaTsui-Lamma Island and returns)
-'Seafood Expert', Mr. Lim Kenn Foong says it's SUPER GOOD!
-It's CHEAP! (to HK ppl's standards, did a price check with a couple of my HK friends and they think it's super cheap)

So when we arrived in HK, I gave them a call to book seats on the ferry and a table at the restaurant.

Experience 1 (The Ferry)
Service: 100 marks.. We left the hotel quite late that night (I was taking a nap, c'mon I was ill that day!), so we hopped into a cab and rushed over to the TST Ferry Pier. Problem is we couldn't find the jetty! By the time I called the restaurant get the number of the person at the TST Pier it was already past departure time. I managed to get the person, she gave me the directions but she said we'll most probably will have to take the next ferry which is in half an hour's time! With a bit of persuasion "M'sian style".. if you know what I mean ;p she agreed to wait for us. We were running so late that she actually called me back, located us, rushed us into the ferry and bang.. doors shut & off we go! But it was very kind of her to have waited for us.

Girls pic time.. sorry Jay, we know you're a girl too but we really needed someone to hold the cam ;p

Experience 2 (Rainbow Seafood Restaurant)
Service at the restaurant was really good too.. we didn't know what to order so the guy took charge. He brought us to the aquariums, asked us to choose the type of seafood we'd like to have, got our budget and he handled the rest. Not sure if he 'tipu-ed' us because we're tourists...but the food turned out to be delicious and it was really cheap too, for what we had.

The aquariums.. while the rest chose what seafood they wanna eat.

A group pic.. without Li, she was our camerawoman!

Dish 1: Scallops with garlic & dung fun

Everybody eat!

Dish 2: King prawns.. I think it's nai yau style

Dish 3: Lobster.. can't remember the name of the cooking style, it's something like 'Jiu Yim' with chilli

He always comes up with the most interesting poses ;p

Dish 4: Lai Liu Ha.. with the same cooking style

Dish 5: Steamed fish

Dish 6: Fried rice

The finale.. fruits

With 5 dishes, a fried rice and desserts.. this meal costs us less than HKD$1500 (Sorry, I can't remember the exact sum nor the exact names of each dish, told ya I was ill). Every single dish was fresh and I think they're really delicious.. though the 'Jiu Yim' ones were a bit too salty to eat on it's own ;p

Experience 3 (Ferry ride back to Kowloon Island)
This time the ferry was full.. we had to sit on the upper deck of the ferry which is an opened area. We got to enjoy the cold air and strong winds of the sea as we head back to HK.. and also the beautiful night view of HK Island and Kowloon as well as the Tsing Ma Bridge!
