Lotus Grill Restaurant @ Clarke Quay



Its a great outing on the 1st day of Chinese New Year here in Singapore. After an entertaining lion dance, and river boat cruise around clarke quay, time to fill up my tummy as it nears dinner time. Lots of weird and interesting restaurants around Clarke Quay and very difficult to decide what to eat. Settled with something interesting. Eating in a river boat parked at the riverside of clarke quay. The name of the restaurant is Lotus Grill Restaurant.



Ravishing with hunger, skipped the entree course and headed straight for the main course meals. My first was the Grilled Pork Ribs with fries. Its coated with marinated barbeque sauces. Simply delicious. It has 7 ribs.. and I almost couldn't tuck in further after the 6th rib!



The second was grilled stingray ala asian dish with white fragrant rice. The stingray is topped with thai soury and spicy sauce. Sides includes acar. Very nice!



Instead of a usual drink, I ordered bacardi cola and shandy. But I wonder why for shandy, the restaurants like to just mix calsberg with sprite? Don't they have like real shandy? This shandy was a bit awkward as I tasted the bitterness of the beer at the top and the sweetness of sprite at the bottom.. not mixed properly to be called shandy!
