This time round, Matt was taken to seafood dinner by Tchung and Jasmine on Sunday \u2013 and that restaurant that\u2019s named after a certain English footballer, \u201cOwen Seafood\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This restaurant\u2019s a pretty popular spot among Singapore foodies (the Foo clan at Lentor is no exception). One of the really special things about this restaurant, or the place it\u2019s located at rather, is that the seafood comes live and off a multilevel bazaar comprising huge water tanks. Basically, you pick which critters you want for dinner, and half an hour later, voil\u00e0 \u2013 they\u2019ll be on your table, all cooked and ready for you to tuck in. Some of those critters are freakin\u2019 big, as in mutant-size <strong><em>huge<\/em><\/strong>. I wonder are they really open for sale and consumption, or are those really just intended as museum artifacts LOL.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"blog-2010-matt-DSC_3584-owen-seafood\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/blog2010mattDSC_3584owenseafood.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-matt-DSC_3584-owen-seafood\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"blog-2010-matt-DSC_3587-owen-seafood\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/blog2010mattDSC_3587owenseafood.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-matt-DSC_3587-owen-seafood\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"blog-2010-matt-DSC_3603-owen-seafood\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/blog2010mattDSC_3603owenseafood.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-matt-DSC_3603-owen-seafood\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No complaints about the food too: it\u2019s as good as ever.
