The Menu is designed to be shared on the table, and the seafood is all served on a bucket, unshelled. So ladies and gentleman, it's time to get your hands dirty and have some fun!

Ngau Saam Gun - A Playful Twist on Chinese Cuisine

Price: $$$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

Nested on Wellington street is a new modern Chinese restaurant called Ngau Saam Gun. "Ngau" meaning cow in Chinese which automatically draw our focus on beef. Ngau Saam Gun gurantees the freshest beef possible as one of the owners is a beef supplier. Playing on Modern Chinese, Ngau Saam Gun uses Western Spices on all of the dishes aiming to surprise our palate. "Local" beef is being used here, and by local, they actually mean cow from China. It got to our nerves for a bit as we all known how unreliable China's food is, or at least to me. Yet after my dinner tonight, I can tell in confidence that their beef quality is legit.

Stockton - The Mysterious British Whisky Bar

Price: $$$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

I have heard much raves about Stockton but do not understand why until tonight, when I finally set foot in Stockton.

It seems the 'no restaurant sign' is the new nom as more hip restaurants are doing it. With Stockton among one of the many wicked restaurants in town, do expect the same. The entrance of Stockton is well hidden through a tunnel of dark alley, you could spend a good 10 minutes keep reading the street number but could not find it. If you look at the picture below, Stockton's entrance is where the lady holding a piece of paper is standing.
