Not into buffet? This new outlet has ala carte Italian and Thai fusion theme cuisines where you can enjoy the best of both worlds. You can get Italian-Thai style pasta, dessert and a full fledge bar with cocktails, mocktails and wine. You can also enjoy their Thai Cajun sauced or garlic butter sauced seafood buffet bucket at the same time!
Their ala carte premium Build your own seafood bucket’s Alaskan crab is meaty and savoury, must try if you love that stringy crab texture in creamy garlic butter sauce.
The premium seafood with fixed price per portion is also great for budget seafood lovers who wants to try a variety of seafood at one go, even in small groups without breaking the bank.
You can also enjoy some Thai style marinate raw seafood sashimi such as salmon & prawn marinate ($35). If you have never tried these in Singapore, here’s your chance to try these buttery crab roe that is briny and addictive. It has a sweet and umami flavour just like sashimi but more kick with the pungent flavours of fish sauce and fresh shaved garlic.
Signature marinate sashimi crab roe ($49) is mud crab marinated in a sweet, sour, briny and spicy sauce topped with fresh chilli padi and shaved fresh raw garlic. The texture is creamy and slimy with a seafood texture like sea urchin uni. It is an acquired taste for new comers but once you love it, this is a delicacy like durian.
These marinate raw seafood comes in a set with with laver, lettuce & rice. Here’s how you DIY your own seafood wrap. Gloves are provided to enjoy these marinated raw crabs with your hands. First shape the rice ball, place atop lettuce, laver seaweed and topped it off with marinated sweet crabs roe, prawns or salmon. For more kick, add Thai spicy chilli sauce like we did.
We found a Giant river prawn in our seafood buffet bucket. The head butter in this crustacean is so sinful and creamy with a little of bitter sweet aftertaste. They have 2 type of in-house Thai seafood sauce for you to dip these sweet crunchy meat to maximize the satisfaction.
In Bucketta seafood bucket buffet, there is unlimited all you can drink fruit soda (green apple ade soda, pineapple ade soda, watermelon soda and Singha soda water), Thai milk tea, Thai milk green tea and unlimited Mingmai booze beer buffet inclusive. They also served ala carte cocktail, mocktails and wine to go with the seafood if you are in the romantic mood. The V.mojito & V.margarita made with real lime juice, are very refreshing add on for this seafood buffet.
New items on the menu are these ala carte Italian Thai fusion cuisines. These ItalThai pasta dishes are a marriage of the signature dishes in Thai food and Italian food. Ital-Thai pasta includes Thai salted egg linguine with stuffed fried squid creamy nutty fillings ($22), Thai basil aglio olio with pan seared tiger prawns ($18), Thai sambal spaghetti with charred scallop & ebiko ($24) and Thai fragrance rice risotto with grilled chicken steak ($18).
Their chef recommendation is Tom yum linguine with char grilled giant prawn ($26) and Green curry penne with Thai herb chicken ($18) above. The pasta are cooked to a nice chewiness and tossed in very rich Thai style sauce, these are unique twists on enjoying Tom yum, Thai sambal, salted egg sauce with pasta and risotto.
