Garlic Butter
The best pairing with garlic butter goes to the lobster. It was a creamy, buttery broth with chicken stock as the base while the addition of cream and butter added a layer of complexity. Together with a garlicky kick on the tastebud, the flavour was just right bringing out the sweetness of the lobster meat.
It was a gustatory pleasure chewing on the chunky meat as big as my palm too.
Peppa’ Butter
Fans of black pepper crab would be no stranger to this concoction of Peppa’ butter crab which uses a blend of black and Sarawak white peppers. The muddy sauce blanketed the crab thoroughly while boasting a more robust flavour than the garlic butter. More peppery and less spicy than expected too.
Tamarind
Recommended for molluscs like prawns, clams and mussels is the Tamarind sauce, tangy and refreshing on the palate. Taking an unusual spin from the classic mariniere or white cream sauce, the Tamarind sauce is infused with an asian blend of tamarind, thai basil, chilli padi, fried shallot, chicken broth and butter.
The Works
The Boiler’s signature sauce, The Works, won me hands-down. The 11 Asian and Cajun spices that went into the preparation of the sauce followed by choices of mild, medium or ragin’ hot spiciness, was flavoursome and enough to give my tongue a tickling numbness.
You can pair this with literally any seafood!
