Seafood lovers, you’re in luck: the annual Lobsterfest at Lime Restaurant is back this June 15 to August 6. The king of all crustaceans, the lobster, is placed front and centre at this highly anticipated buffet. Since free-flow lobster is the star of the show, the chefs have skillfully put together a lobster feast – from fresh whole Bostons to the ever-popular Singapore chilli lobster. There’ll also be an alfresco barbecue live station, featuring grilled marinated rock lobsters with a bevy of savoury sauces.
This year’s Lobsterfest is set to the tune of “rock festival”, with guest grill chefs banging out their own hit renditions of lobster-centric dishes over the alfresco grill on selected weekends. Look forward to Chef Vishnu Bernard from Aromkwan Bangkok during the June 17 weekend for his lineup of delectably smoked delights. While his signature 30-hour smoked pork knuckle curry sure is tasty, it’s the flambéed lobster bakar and masala ghee lobster claw that we’ll be after.
As for the 1 July weekend, Chef Ivan Yeo from Asian smokehouse Blue Smoke will be bringing his grill master expertise with dishes like Hyogo oysters, Szechuan-style grilled lamb shoulder, and grilled and smoked lobster with Chaoshan salsa. But besides culinary masterpieces from these two guest chefs, you can expect a roundup of crowd favourites that put lobster at the forefront. Here, the live kitchens deserve a standing ovation, as eager diners can watch on while chefs entertain with displays of their culinary prowess.
On top of locally inspired dishes like kam heong (dried shrimp) lobster and steamed lobster with ginger garlic paste and Chinese wine, there’ll also be baked Boston lobster thermidor and lobster mac and cheese. Lime Restaurant’s famed lobster laksa will also make an appearance, known for its rich gravy. Those looking to expand their seafood choices can also head over to the seafood bar for live prawns, black mussels, and golden clams.
The Lobsterfest dinner buffet is held daily (6.30pm to 9.30pm) and is priced at $166 per person. It comes with free-flow drinks, including beer, chilled juices, as well as specialty coffee and tea.
