The best part about this lobster is the lobster meat is tender and it absorb well with the sauce. the most part of the meat is at the crusher or what do we call the lobster's hand... ( in Malay we call it Sepit).

So come on guys, lel's play this simple game and you might win yourself LOBSTERS~! hahahaa

A part from that, I did try out some of their new menus at MFM. For the starters, MFM serve us The Oyster Roulette. Each cup contain Oyster that is mixed with some spicy ingredients. Squeeze the lemon, and wallahh! there you have it, Oyster Roulette. among this four cups, one of it has the spiciest taste. But we don't know which one has the spiciest. So, for those who had that cup, prepared to be fill with spiciness!!

I am not a favor of spicy food, but the medium spiciness is acceptable. Luckily, during the food review session, I just got the medium spicy. hahah

Next, I was serve to the Bursting with beetroot goodness, this pink-hued soup is light and keeps your blood pressure and heart healthy. Light - RM5.50   Regular - RM6.50. 

This is recommended to Vegetarian as this soup is rich with Beetroot tasty flavor plus creamy taste of it makes it a unique soup try out!

Now we proceed with the main course of. First is the Fishy Chicky Bang Bang. This is a unique combination, where, the fried fish fillet is attached together with the Fried Chicken Fillet and serve with crispy fries, fried speghetti and egg. The cheese sauce that is spread above the fried fillets are the best!! This menu rock babeyh! I really enjoyed the Fishy Chicky Bang Bang until I tend to shake my shoulder and everyones laugh because of it~! hahaha. The "Bang Bang" words makes me wanna shake it off babeyh! For those who love cheese, this may be the ultimate meal for you. Presenting, Flaming Cheesy Baked Rice. Below the flamed cheese is golden fried rice with  bed of Coriander and you can find the hidden Rosemary Herb House under the cheesy dory fillet. Serve with boiled carrot and broccoli. 

 This is an amazing menu, Grilled Salmon with black pepper sauce. plus, mashed potatoes. This menu is rich with protein and carbs plus, some veges might add the nutrients inside it yah. What I love about this menu, is the salmon is well cooked, not too dry or too moist, Just in the great way to eat up, plus the black paper sauce mixed well with the mashed potatoes and the salmon. Bravo!
Last but not least, is the Dessert. Presenting Icy Hot Fish bananas. Where is actually the fish? These fillets are crispy breaded fish banana fritters paired with a scoop of creamy Vanilla ice-cream and strawberries. Simple and Indulgence!
Oh I almost forgot about the drinks, I was able to try out their latest drinks on the menu that are the Brooklyn Sunset (Mocktail) OR Vienna Coffee. Brooklyn is a  tango with luscious mango juice and a touch of strawberry for a sweet and tropical getaway. Makes you feel like you at Hawaii. heheh

Brooklyn Sunset

Meanwhile, Vienna Coffe is a double shot of strong espresso finishes with a pleasing cap of whipped cream dusted with cocoa. For a traditional experience, sip your coffee through the cream top. I love sipping through the wipecream, makes the coffee more creamy.

Assalamua’alaikum.

6 days before GST starts in Malaysia, now many campaign and seminars being held to educate customers on how GST works. Even in the restaurant such as The Manhattan Fish Market wants their customers to know how GST does not affect too much on the price.

So last Saturday, I was invited by Isaac to attend a food review at The Manhattan Fish Market Nu Sentral. But this is not a regular food review, the marketing team also taught us about the price before GST and after GST being implemented.

In this blogpost, There will be calculation, so make sure to stand by your calculator beside you and correct my calculation if I'm wrong.

Let me discuss about the price first

Before GST

Let say you dine with 1 Sharing Platter that cost you RM57.90.

Then 10% will be charge from the rm57.90 for service charge= RM5.79

Then 6% will be charge from RM57.90 for Govt Tax = RM3.47

So total price is = RM57.90+RM 5.79 + RM3.47 = RM67.20

After GST

Let say you dine with 1 Sharing Platter that cost you RM57.90.

Then 10% will be charge from the rm57.90 for service charge= RM5.79

Subtotal from RM57.90 + RM 5.79 = RM63.69

Then GST charge is 6% from the total of RM63.69 = RM3.82

So the Total is = RM57.90 + RM 5.79 + RM3.82 = RM67.50

Can you see the difference guys?  The difference after GST is only RM0.30!!

But if you have higher price compare to the sharing platter,it will cost you more than RM0.30.

For example, if you spend RM127.90 for Lobster Platter

10% service charge is RM12.79

Subtotal= RM127.90 + RM 12.79=RM140.69

6% GST is charge at RM140.69 = RM8.44

Therefore, the total is = RM140.69 + RM8.44= RM149.13.

Rounding (-RM0.03) = RM 149.10 (after GST)

Before GST is RM148.40.

Which make the difference of RM0.70

Here, we can see the increasing pattern is about RM0.30-RM 0.70 after GST at the total price.

I hope that this entry can give enough explanation about the price before and after GST. And this will not make you afaid to come and dine in at The Manhattan Fish Market.

Visit the nearest Manhattan Fish Market now to enjoy delicious sea food and I guarantee you will satisfy with their menu and the price that they've offer.

Wait for my food review next guys.

Thanks for reading my post.
Bye.
