Todai has been in Singapore since 2009 and the ‘Mother of all seafood buffet’ is as popular as ever. Last year, they brought in the Alaskan golden crab, which proved to be a hit. Singaporeans’ love for the pincers and claws are well known. So they’ve brought back the Alaskan Crab Festival this year with four different types of crabs from the region, including the newbie- King crab.
Most seafood should be cooked simply to enjoy it’s full flavour but it can be a disappointment if it is not fresh. Happily, the King crabs were fresh, sweet and succulent. In fact, I like it even better than the Golden crabs that I had the last time. Yumz.. It was so good that we hardly try anything else on the Todai’s menu. I also loved the oysters, which were plump and juicy- good with just a squeeze of lemon and a touch of tobasco sauce if you desire.
But if the above is not enough for you, here are some more on the menu to tempt all the seafood lovers.
Don’t forget to have a bowl of this very tasty pumpkin soup with crabmeat. It was thick and satisfying with the combined sweetness of the wolfberries, crabmeat and pumpkin.
To keep the menu fresh, Todai has also revamped it’s menu and there were quite a few new items (50 in fact according to the press release) that I’m seeing for the first time, including the cheese section (my other half would be thrilled)-
the fruit section-
and the western section (the lamb chop with mint sauce looks yummy but I was too full to have any)-
Not new, but I like the pajeon. Just remember to eat it when it’s freshly made, hot off the pan.
I have to say that dessert is not Todai’s strong point but I loved this. Felt like a child as I dipped my mashmellow in the chocolate fountain. Hehe!
Todai is also having a very interesting contest in the month of August- The Spicy Roll Eating Contest. They are offering a $80 voucher to any contestants who finished all four levels of their spicy rolls. How spicy? Just check out the sweat on one of the contestant. ^^
Well worth the flaming tongue and wet hair..
Here are the four different types of spicy rolls, starting from level 1 on the top left to level 4 at the bottom. I never made it beyond level 1….. 🙁
Not keen to try out the four different spicy rolls? Check out the spicy salmon rolls then.
The Alaskan Crab Festival is on for the whole month of August but the King Crab is only available during the weekends, with the rest of the Alaskan varieties available on different days.
The Spicy Rolls eating contest is on during both lunch and dinner for on site dinners. Do go and try it out. Check out Todai’s website for more details.
