Buka puasa at Manhattan Fish Market, Midvalley

The two superheroes have been awfully busy of late. But as usual, there is always time for FOOD! Haha. Since it's the month of Ramadhan, it also means that it's the fasting season for our Muslim friends and family. On most days, Superhero S will be fighting against time to whip up a sumptuous meal for buka puasa, while on some other days, we would be most happy to settle for Ramadhan bazaars or eating out at restaurants. *grins*



So sometime at the beginning of the fasting month, we decided to fly over to Manhattan Fish Market at Midvalley Megamall for some oh-so-fishy meal! We initially intended to dine at Kenny Rogers but the awfully "friendly" waiters there looked like they were on the verge of chasing us away to make way for the buka puasa crowd. Honestly, we saw many empty tables that didn't carry any reservation tags. But oh well, since they actually didn't believe that Superhero W was also fasting at that time, we decided to heck with stupid Kenny Rogers and walked a few shops down to MFM. Hmmph!



Since we haven't been to MFM for a pretty long time now, we were looking forward to the foodie there too. We arrived just before the buka puasa crowd started pouring in, and chose a nice table for two at the corner. A quick browse of the menu, and we were ready to order. *stomach growling...*





Despite the waiter's recommendation to try out their Buka Puasa set, Superhero S was adamant in going for their Grilled Norwegian King Salmon Fillet, described as "naturally grilled in basic salt and pepper topped with Manhattan garlic butter sauce".



On the other hand, Superhero W decided to satisfy his tummy by ordering the Flaming Platter for One, "one large grilled catch of the day with our award winning flaming prawns".



For drinks, just a glass of soft drink for Superhero W...



The crowd was certainly growing by the minute. But in spite of that, we were served pretty quickly really. I absolutely loved my chunk of salmon fillet for its pure simplicity and don't even get me going on and on about their butter garlic rice! So delicious....!!! Haha. Or perhaps I was really hungry then; I don't know! But I think I'd still have to say that the monstrous salmon chunk in the Salmon and Vegetable Skillet at Bubba Gump Shrimps remains the better choice. Haha. :p



As for Superhero W's platter, the fishy was really huge! Oh so worth it! Very nicely done too, nicely grilled. And the prawns were deliciously topped with a good layer of lightly grilled cheese. I believe Superhero W truly enjoyed this meal!

All in all, I would say we had a good time here at Manhattan Fish Market, with good service from the friendly waiter, much unlike those in Kenny Rogers!

I like Manhattan Fish too, but I think their prices a little bit on the high side, no?
Anyway, will try to get free dinner at this place using my credit card points rebate voucher : )
I think this month a lot of people breaking fast so I will avoid going dinner during those times. Don't want to encounter "friendly" waiters : )

Looks nice. I've always passed by Manhattan Fish but never dine at there even once. Hmm..perhaps should really try once. Ha =)

Tekkaus, you should try it if you love seafood and fishy! The price is still affordable, not too 'cut throat' or anything. Haha. :p
