Ice Cube Seafood Grill and Bar & Anderson's of Denmark Ice Cream..

I'm finally free from exams! Never ending of studying I should say. I had a really tough week and I'm glad that it's all over now. Anyway here's a quick post to share with you on how I actually being spoiled by Jen after my exam. We decided to try out Ice Cube Seafood Grill and Bar at the Imax theatre building. The view at the restaurant was awesome! We were being seated beside the glass door, with the whole Darling harbour view in front of us. Great service as well, maybe cause we were there for early dinner.

 We've ordered the huge hot and cold seafood platter for two. There's garlic butter grilled lobster, love it! And fried fish and chips, pan fried marinated prawns, salt and pepper squid, smoked salmon, mussels, oysters, more cold prawns, and crab! That's $130 for the whole plate, and we've got the entertainment card which allowed for 25% discount. Pretty good for a seafood meal. 

Anderson's of Denmark blood orange sorbet ice cream with waffle cone for dessert in front of the Darling Harbour. What more can I ask for? Loving it!

Sydney Fish Market..

One thing I love about Sydney is the Sydney Fish Market. Amazing amount of fresh seafood produce. I've heard that there's restaurant there too, but haven't get to try it out yet. Thanks sissy for the photos. It's actually really cool to visit around the market. There's so much to explore and eat. My lttle tip is to go there earlier, before noon time, so that you can avoid the large crowd.

Sashimi time!

Scampi is something new for me. Haven't really tried it before. 

There's much more, lobsters, mud crabs, prawns, and different kinds of fishes.

This is the "Must Eat" salmon and tuna sashimi set. I personally prefer salmon and it was really fresh and I couldn't get enough of it. 

Fresh oysters with lemon. You can get this for $8 for half dozen of them. Not a huge fan of oysters, but it was really fresh.

Seafood platter for two. And yes, sis and I went for the asian style, ordered that with rice. Surprisingly it turned out really yummy and satisfying. There's fried prawns, oysters in two ways, fried calamari, chinese style bbq squid, and scallops. That can be shared between three person. 

More oysters and lobsters. Love them to the max!

Australian Rainbow Trout Farm..

i went for trout fishing during the autumn. well you can do that during the winter too, on a sunny weekend. the place is called australian rainbow trout farm at 26 mulhalls rd, macclesfield, vic. all you have to do is to get some fresh fish and you're all ready for a feast.

they have different sizes of trouts. pick the ones that you prefer and of course consider of the price as well. no matter what you get, you have to pay for it.

if not you can choose to fish at the salmon pond.

you will need to bring along some utensils along so you can start cooking at the bbq pit. one option to do with the salmon is sashimi! the staff will do the cleaning for you.

all you need is some onions, mushrooms, sauces, pepper. we brought along some bread and sausages as well.

be creative on the ingredients you like and here you are, hot and fresh grilled fish for lunch. it was great fun and also to mention that they have awesome views there.

Fishmonger Seafood Restaurant..

the other day my sis recommended us to fishmonger cafe restaurant, it's located at 66a doncaster road, balwyn north. the seafood there was so yummy, absolutely mouth-watering. i was taking photos during the whole dinner and i felt awkward when the waitress asked me if i was a photographer. opss.. but the waitresses are really helpful and friendly. no doubt that they have really good service. nice and quiet environment with delicious seafood. main dishes price range around $20 per plate. the price is quite reasonable for seafood.

their menu. they even had a short story about their restaurant and how it was started.

firstly we had entree. it's fried calamari with garlic bread. the calamari was so fresh and tender and it was fried to perfection. honestly i haven't tried such good fried calamari before. it's different from what we normally have. absolutely love it! the garlic bread was really good too, crispy and flavoursome but not too oily. fantastic way to start a meal.

dad had the seafood pealla. and i should say that it was really delicious, the seafood was alot in there too. good value for money. and he enjoyed the meal so much.

i tried barramundi the greek. it's spiced grilled and topped with chunks of fetta cheese served on a bed of capsicum rice. love the rice alot, it's really light and refreshing. the fish was so fresh and sweet, can't taste the fishy smell at all. went really well with the rice.

we had a plate of half dozen grilled tiger prawns with half cooked with peri-peri sauce and half cooked with cajun sauce. the peri-peri one is the best! i think the sauce is one of the in-house specialities. it has bit of spicyness to it, and the flavour just blends really well together with the prawns. and of course also to mention how fresh and huge are the tiger prawns. totally amazing! mouth watering even just thinking about it.

sis had the grilled hake with vegetables. simple and healthy meal. there are a varieties of fish that you can select from. just mix and match with your own preference and of course the waitress can do the recommendation too.

we also ordered half a dozen of cheese baked scallops to share. well for me, this was just average. although the scallops were really fresh, the flavour was too mild. probably cause the other dishes tasted really flavoursome.

mum had the baked curry sweet lip snapper. it is baked in a wrapped aluminium foil. but sadly it was kind of tasteless for this one. probably cause we are so used to malaysian kind of strong curry flavour.

we also had chicken parmagiana with chips and salad. it tasted really yummy too! the chicken was fried right on the spot, so the meat was kept tender and with the thick layer of cheese on top, it can be a really fulfilling meal. for the whole meal we paid for around $180 for 5 people.
