The menu additionally options crayfish rolls, Thai à la carte dishes and even a Seafood Bucket Buffet (S$49.90++ per pax for lunch, S$59.90++ per pax for dinner) with free circulate sides and drinks.

What I attempted at Bucketta

We began our seafood extravaganza with the Salmon & Prawn Marinate (S$30). There had been 5 items of uncooked salmon slices and prawns topped with recent garlic and chilli padi. The seafood was soaked in a secret recipe light-brown marinade which differs from these at different institutions that normally use soya-based sauces.

It got here with a platter consisting of dried seaweed sheets, plain rice and slices of lettuce in addition to 2 totally different sorts of do-it-yourself Thai-style sauces.

I’m an absolute fan of freestyle consuming, the place you get to have enjoyable whereas making an attempt out totally different combos. I paired a chunk of marinated uncooked prawn with lettuce and added the purple chilli dip.

The prawn marinade was barely candy, nearly like a teriyaki glaze, and the purple chilli dip was garlicky and packed some warmth. Pairing them with the lettuce made it refreshingly mild on the palate.

The subsequent combo was my favorite— seaweed, rice, marinated salmon and the citrusy inexperienced chilli dip. It melded all of the nuances of Thai spices along with Japanese flavours. Just think about consuming sushi enhanced by Thai flavours— tremendous fascinating.

We additionally tried the Marinated Sashimi Crab Roe (S$49) which had the identical marinade and garnish. The mesmerising orange roe was glistening in full glory for us to admire. Just have a look at it!

I used a spoon and scooped up the decadent orange treasure, and was rewarded with a creamy explosion of umami goodness.

If uncooked crabs are usually not your factor, you need to positively order the Steamed De-shelled Flower Crab (S$49).

Alas, the point of interest of my go to lastly arrived. The Koh Pu (Crab Island) (S$258) seafood bucket was introduced in a big steel bucket. When I say enormous, I imply HUGE!

Our desk was laid with paper earlier than the restaurant employees poured out the bucket’s content material  in entrance of us. Wow! Our jaws dropped to the bottom as we watched in awe. The medley of seafood was introduced in a stupendous mess.

There had been 4 items of Sri Lankan mud crab, tiger prawns, black mussels, half-shell scallops, white clams, squid, sausages, sliced corn on the cob, potato wedges and broccoli. They had been doused within the crowd-favourite cajun sauce.

The white clams had been naturally candy and the items of mud crab had agency flesh and beautiful roe embedded in them. The tiger prawns had been plump whereas the large squid was surprisingly tender.

The cajun sauce that coated the seafood was smoky and gently spiced with hints of paprika and dried rosemary bursting in each chunk. Extremely addictive!

We then moved on to our second bucket, the Koh Phi Phi (Crawfish particular bucket) (S$178).

It comprised of crawfish, white Manila clams, flower crabs, child cuttlefish, half-shell scallops, black mussels, corn, potatoes and sausages. We selected garlic butter sauce for this.

The sharp distinction between the ivory-hued gravy and shiny colors of the seafood and different components made for photos that popped.

I couldn’t resist the chance to feed my telephone’s gallery with extra mouth-watering images.

The crawfish had been like shrunken variations of lobsters however filled with flavour. The half-shell scallops had been gigantic and paired very well with the wealthy and creamy garlic butter sauce. Chewing on the complete factor was fairly a mouthful, however a satisfying one nonetheless.

The broccoli, potato wedges and corn acted like palate cleansers, permitting me to proceed savouring the seafood with out feeling overwhelmed.

We additionally ordered Grilled River Prawn (S$10 per computer) which had 2 humongous crustaceans that had been barbecued with charcoal.

Once you peel off the charred layers of the shell, you’ll get plump and juicy flesh complemented by the smoky notes coming from the charcoal— I used to be immediately teleported to Phuket for a couple of seconds!

I didn’t count on to fall in love with their choices of Thai-inspired uncooked marinated seafood which left me speechless. Amazing!

Though the costs aren’t the bottom , the standard and style of the seafood greater than make up for it. So, head all the way down to Bucketta at Golden Mile Tower to style the freshness of the ocean, and expertise it for your self. You definitely wouldn’t need to miss this.
