Oyster Nights

We were meeting with the sister and B for dinner before she flies off to Myanmar to be the ever dedicated slave to the media. Although I wasn't feeling too hot for the Fish Market offerings, we went hoping maybe there were other dishes that might snag our attention.

My sister has this crazy sensation for Fish Market and even more so for Fresh Oysters, especially when they are going at $1 each on Oyster Nights.
We ordered 2 dozen oysters to share. Considering I don't have a thing for oysters - the cold and raw sliminess scares me - that was like 8 per person! *barff*

We also ordered the green lipped mussels in white-wine sauce since it's been awhile, together with a black cod and crab cakes. My dear sister, true to her conventional gluttony specific to the Fish Market Menu, felt nothing after the 8 oysters and went on to order the chilli crab pasta and house fish and chips.

I didn't find anything on the menu appetizing but I did remember the last time we came for lunch they didn't have bread crumbs to offer the crab cakes. So I went for it this time. The crab cake (note the singularity) was a medium size round ball of crab and miscellaneous vegetables and herbs. The crumbs gave it a nice crispy coating which gave way under the knife to soft juicy seafood. I would have rather preferred it came in smaller patties honestly...But the peanut sauce added a unique oriental taste over the usual mayo or sweet chili sauce dippings most restaurants serve.

We don't usually entertain the thoughts for dessert there and it was no exception that night. We thought to explore the rest of Greenwood offerings to see if there was another place we could make room for dessert. In the end, B and L came over with little Simba for some good old school Walls artic roll ice cream desserts to end of the evening instead.
