Hot N Juicy Crawfish @ Las Vegas, USA

This place serve one of the nicest food that I had in Las Vegas. You order the food here by the pound. If you love spicy food, you have to try this place. Do take note that eating at this place can be quite messy. Avoid wearing white clothes or plain shirt. Depending on your tolerance for spicy, you can choose how spicy your food to be. Here they provide you plenty of plastic gloves to eat your food and food comes in bags.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Do select the flavor as Hot N Juicy. And select the spicy level of one below the normal spicy level that you usually have. Even at mild level, its already spicy. Taste wise it really good especially with the sauce).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The price here is depending on what you order. The best value is the shrimp at USD16.00 for each pound. If you want to splurge, they have lobster and king crab leg at USD31.00 and USD35.00 for each pound respectively).

Three Michelin star dinner at Le Bernardin Restaurant @ New York, USA

I went there for dinner to try out their famous meal. Eating in their main dining room is too much hassle that they need a blazer or dress in suit. Main dining room also requires reservation far ahead of time. Since my time in New York is limited, I choose to have their lounge menu instead. With the hype surrounding this restaurant, I expect the food to be among the best. However, not all the items that I ordered was excellent. I really coming here to be impressed but somehow they have not met my expectation. The restaurant atmosphere and the main dining room was grand and nice.

Taste:8/10(Good. The restaurant were nice and food were good but it's not outstanding which I think a 3 Michelin star restaurant should have. I have tasted other one Michelin star restaurants which served much tastier food. Service were great and very formal. I was very satisfied with the warm lobster with truffle. The dish were excellent and taste great. The Le Bernardin salmon rillette were quite normal. Nothing to shout about the oyster as its come in its natural form which was barely touched. I liked the hazelnut praline as the chocolate were rich and good praline flavour).
Price:1/10(Very expensive. Oyster priced at USD4.00 per piece, salmon rillette at USD22.00, lobster with truffle "en brioche" at USD27.00 and hazelnut praline at USD22.00. Total bill exclude tax and tips were USD83.00).


Highly rated Le Bernardin of New York. Often quoted as the top restaurant in New York.

Bread and butter. Not impressive.


Oyster of East coast and West coast varieties. Served with vinaigrette.



Le Bernardin's salmon rillette with toast. This meal was not impressive. The salmon rillette is almost like canned salmon bread spread.

Best sea bass from Atlantic Fish Company @ Boston, Massachusetts

Atlantic Fish Company located within walking distance from central of Boston Copley light rail station. The restaurant is quite popular. I arrived at around 6.00pm and it's already crowded. I choose this restaurant as it's convenient for me and it's near to Boston Public library and Newbury street. My next stop is going to be the Museum of Fine Arts. Since its wednesday night, the museum have pay as you wish entrance fee. So, I opt for a quick dinner here then straight to the museum. The food that I ordered which is their pan seared sea bass was amazing delicious but the price is at the high side. Environment and service here were good as well.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. The pan-seared sea bass was superb. The fish was perfectly seared with rich butter taste. The lobster ravioli also taste great. The sauce from this meal also complements well with the dish).
Price:2/10(Expensive. The pan seared sea bass cost USD42.00).

Underrated lobster roll from Pauli's @ North End, Boston

Pauli's is a small shop located in North End, Boston offering reasonable priced subs, wraps, Italian food and lobster roll. They also cater for takeout, delivery and catering. For the local, this shop is quite famous for its lobster roll. If not because for my walking tour guide told me that this shop has among the best lobster roll in town, I might have waiting in the queue at Neptune Oyster next door. If you lookout for Pauli's in the Internet, you can hardly find any article which would rate them to have among the best lobster roll. Neptune Oyster often rated at no 1 for its lobster roll but the queue to have food in this restaurant is forever long. Pauli's environment was rather different. Not many patrons in their shop and I can have my lobster roll within 5 minutes. Amazingly the fast lobster roll which I get from Pauli's, was superb.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. Upon my first bite of the lobster roll was a burst of flavor with smooth and warm butter coating the delicate lobster meat. The huge portion of lobster meat suits very well with soft bread roll. The lobster meat were full of flavour. Well coated with butter with slight salty taste provided a perfect balance to the natural flavors of the lobster. The potato chips provided also complemented the meal very well. Simple but amazingly delicious).
Price:3/10(Expensive. The hot lobster roll priced at USD18.99 with chips. For cold version of lobster roll, its sold at USD16.99).


The packaging was not impressive. Lobster roll with packed potato chips.


Wow, the smell and taste very good. Well and lightly coated with butter. Fresh red lobster colour.

Looks small but you will satisfied with the portion and taste.


Simple shop but huge variety of food options.

Variety of kettle cook potato chips.
