Good quality food, good service, very spacious seating. Highly recommend their King Lobster. The fish was done well. Their chicken is also very good too. I am not sure if it was because we were there early, we ate at 6pm, the restaurant was half empty; not sure if that is a sign of poor location or what. It’s the second day of Chinese New Year, so we ordered a New Year meal that was too much for 5 people. We took the meal choice as we wanted to opt for the big lobster. The meal includes: — Soup sprinkled with a bit of crab pieces — New Year dried oysters, pork tongue, mushroom, lettuce with oyster sauce — Half Fish sauce Chicken with onion /ginger dip — Steamed Fish — Razor clams with veggies — Dau Mui veggies with garlic — Prawns, scallop with broccoli — Fried King Lobster with cereal and fried tiny fishes — Dessert: cashew paste Cost: $ 250 includsive of tips, and taxes.

Service here doesn’t exist. They provide one teapot of tea for a table of ten and they don’t bother to refill it unless requested. The waitresses stand around chatting instead of attending to tables. You get this small console thing where you press buttons to request for service and even with that, they’re slow to service. We reserved a peking duck for dinner and it took ages for it to come out. When it did come out, it didn’t come out with the crepes and we had to wait another 10 minutes for the crepes. A single sauce plate and a measly plate of roughly a dozen cucumber sticks and green onion were provided. The menu lacks vegetables but the food is your typical Chinese food. You get a plate of peanuts at the start and a soup at the end — it wasn’t red bean soup and I don’t know what it’s called but it wasn’t very good.

First impression of Fishman Village 漁家灯火 was that I was not impressed as I walked into the restaurant has a full house of half drunk patrons. Almost every single tables emptying beers by the dozen or red wine by the bottles. Second Impression was this place just too noisy and giving me a headache. I ended up have to wait 15 minutes or so for a table for 2 as there are only 5 of those and the rest are all large tables for 10. Should I be ordering seafood as I looked around and saw lobsters, fish and clams… Wait staff was really helpful in recommending what’s good in the menu without being pushy. Stir Fried Duck($ 18) 生炒鸭 and XO Sauce Seafood Vegetable($ 12) XO醬海皇炒勝瓜 were both really good. I really enjoyed the duck as it has an intense salty soy sauce taste and would have taste so good with iced cold beer… A lot of bones and needs work to dig out all the meat and included even the head and neck and more. Service was good as 2 of the wait staff came by and asked how we like the duck and even replaced our side dish which piled up with duck bones with clean one. My dinner mate still talking about the duck dish hours after our meal. I guess we will be back again soon.
