I think they just ran out of herbs and other quality spices. Instead, only MSG and salt and sugar added. It was as nice as the last few years ago. The quality was crushed.

Restaurant features in a lot of local tours. Surprising the seafood is pretty okay, good cooks. Average menu will feature a fish, prawns, crabs, shellfish, fishball soup and a vegetable side dish. If you like coconut drinks, note the coconuts served here are the less sweet more bitter kind. So spare yourself the agony and get a can drink. The... More

Okay2 dining. There were a number of dishes. The calamari and prawns were good. But do not recommend the chilli crab and the sweet and sour fish. The place is huge and can see big fish swimming in e waters around the eating place.

Fish is fresh and we can choose it directly from the "tank", so it's kinda like guaranteed fresh. Squid is alright, not on display, so you just order the size and how you want it to be cooked. Clam though we can choose it, but you can hardly tell thich is alive, thus we wasted like 30% of the clam... More

The food is good...The experience is unbelievable..The atmosphere is to write home about. You enter a restaurant that is over the water. You pick you seafood delights from tanks (tanks build into the sea) below you. One contains only prawns, another crabs, another fish and even one with sharks big enough to eat you. You pick your selection and they... More

The food seemed quite unhygienic, the way dishes were being served and the entrance and exit was smelling foul
