Everyone’s probably heard of The Manhattan FISH MARKET by now. After all, they’ve opened over 72 restaurants in Asia and the Middle East! If you’re unaware, The Manhattan FISH MARKET serves up a vast selection of fresh and mouth-watering American-style seafood. This coming National Day, seafood fans have a new reason to celebrate. From 20 July to 3 September, prepare for a seafood feast featuring an eclectic selection of premium dishes inspired by local cuisine. What’s more, these exclusive dishes won’t break the bank!

The ‘Atas’ Singapura Platter ($39.95) is sure to whet your appetite. This tantalising sharing platter features The Manhattan FISH MARKET’s very own version of Chilli Crab, the Signature Manhattan Flaming Prawns, Leatherjacket Fish with Sambal Sauce and even Chicken Rendang. All four of these dishes sit atop a bed of tomato Hainanese rice. That’s not all – you even get a Lobster Roll along with your platter! All of these premium dishes for just $39.95? What a steal!

Don’t miss out on Manhattan Fish Market’s unique take on chilli crab! Garlic is sautéed in a pan before their house-made tomato-based chilli sauce is added. Then, fresh crab meat is tossed in before the mix is elegantly presented in a crab shell. This take on chilli crab is a lot lighter and refreshing than the traditional version. The sauce had a subtle acidic tang that complemented the freshness of the soft crab meat brilliantly.

If you think that The Manhattan FISH MARKET is only good for seafood, you’re mistaken. The chicken rendang is absolutely lip-smacking. The dish features chicken wings and drumsticks that are deep-fried, then brushed with their house-made rendang sauce. The meat was so moist and tender! I even found myself licking the rendang sauce off my fingers! The luscious sauce was sweet and was thoroughly infused with a blend of spices.

The Signature Manhattan Flaming Prawns won’t burst out in flames at your table, but the prawns will make you burst out loud in exclamation of how good they are! Fresh prawns are grilled before being slathered with a sweet mayonnaise. Thereafter, the prawns are blowtorched to achieve a beautiful char. The juicy prawns were just flawless with the slightly smoky sauce!

The highlight of the platter has to be the leatherjacket fish with sambal sauce. The leatherjacket fish is a highly sought after fish that’s prized for its firm yet succulent flesh. The chefs at The Manhattan FISH MARKET grill the fish over a banana leaf before it is smothered in sambal sauce. The result? A delectable, fork-tender grilled fish that’s thoroughly coated in a sweet and spicy sambal sauce.

The lobster roll was one of my personal favourites. Plump chunks of lobster meat sit in the core of a buttered and toasted brioche bun, before a special creamy sauce is drizzled over. The brioche was good enough to be savoured on its own. The bun was so light and fluffy, and its caramelised, buttery flavour was oh-so addictive!

the manhattan fish market Chilli Crab Pasta

A play on a traditional Italian classic, the Crabby ‘Aiyoh’ Olio ($13.95) is sure to delight. The dish features spaghetti that’s tossed in Manhattan Fish Market’s signature spicy seafood sauce. The sauce is a concoction that’s freshly made with chilli, garlic and lime. The snow crab meat served on the side is just the icing on the cake. Mix the crab meat into the al dente spaghetti, and you get a heavenly marriage of flavours! That’s not all – this dish also comes with a drink of your choice!

If you can’t get enough of the leatherjacket fish, don’t fret. Order the ‘Ho-Jiak’ Fiery Fish ($15.95)! This dish features the same leatherjack fish in sambal sauce, but in an individual portion. Served with Hainanese tomato rice, this dish also comes with a drink of your choice.

Want to take your ‘Ho-Jiak’ Fiery Fish or Crabby ‘Aiyoh’ Olio to the next level? Upgrade your drink to one of their mocktails/ coolers for just $3! If you have a sweet tooth, add on just $4 for Sizzling Banana Fritters with Ice Cream!

The Sizzling Banana Fritters with Ice Cream is a must-order if you love sweet delights. In my opinion, this dessert is reminiscent of an elevated goreng pisang! Think crispy banana fritters covered with a sizzling coconut cream on a hot plate! The dessert is topped off with a generous scoop of chocolate ice cream.
