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).

Carmelina North End @ Boston, Massachusetts

Carmelina located in North End Boston serving Italian meals. I arrived this restaurant quite early around 5.30pm. The restaurant is quite empty during that time. However, the server have a hard time to find me a table for me. I just need a seat. After around 5 minutes waiting, he finally give me a seat but only for 30 minutes as the seat were reserved. I ordered their risotto frutti di Mare. The meal were good but the service needs improvement. Somehow I feel that I was being rushed to have my meal.

Great cioppino at Sotto Mare @ San Francisco, USA

I have done some research online on the good food to have in San Francisco with reasonable price. This place having a good review on their seafood. By following the crowd, we proceed to order their Cioppino and Benita’s Baccala. I have no idea on what is cioppino which they claimed to have the best damn crab cioppino. Baccala is from salted cod fish cooked with tomatoes, olive oil, potatoes, celery and onion. The end result is a tasty red paste which the taste is about like Malaysian sambal but better. It goes well with bread. Cioppino on the other hand is cooked with a combination of Dungeness crab, clams, shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels, and fish. The seafood is then combined with fresh tomatoes in a wine sauce, and served with local sourdough or French bread. Sotto Mare version of cioppino add in some pasta in it as well. Do come early to avoid the crowd as this place is quite popular. We have to wait for half an hour although we reached there around 5.00pm for dinner on saturday.

Taste:10/10(Excellent cioppino. The portion were huge and taste fantastic. The seafood were fresh and cook just right without overwhelming flavour. The tomato soup base is amazing with all the seafood goodness).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Baccala priced at USD9.00 and crab cioppino at USD42.00).

The goodness is in the pot.


Wow, so much of seafood in the pot. Each of us able to have 3 plates of these seafood. Which means total of 6 plates. Its good for two and a very satisfying dinner.
