Lobsters & Ice Cream Review: $20 Nett Mentaiko Lobster Roll And Seafood Ice-Cream At Chinatown

More than just a quick bite at Lobsters & Ice Cream The name Lobsters & Ice Cream drew me in like salted herring bait to a lobster.

Lobsters & Ice Cream Review: $20 Nett Mentaiko Lobster Roll And Seafood Ice-Cream At Chinatown

This unique pairing of seafood rolls and soft serve is a rare concept, but I welcome it with open arms. What caught my attention as well was the affordability of the menu items.

Mentaiko Lobster Roll At $16 Nett Food at Lobsters & Ice Cream Chunky Lobsters reigns supreme as the spot for cheap lobster rolls in Singapore, but enter Lobsters & Ice Cream with their range of flavours such as Maine-Style , SG Chilli Crab Sauce and Mentaiko Sauce . Their $18 nett lobster roll is a secret menu item, as their usual, more premium rolls go at $28 .

Chunky Lobsters Review: Lobster Rolls Coated With Melted Butter Sauce At $16 Nett I got the Mentaiko Lobster Roll ($20) in a heartbeat. Sweet and buttery, the lobster meat was also company and slightly fibrous.

Some say the best part of the lobster is the chunky claw, while others prefer the tail. That being explained, the size of the lobster chunks were considerably smaller than the ones from Chunky Lobsters. This ensures a beautiful contrast of natural sweetness from the fresh lobster meat, and rich, salty savour from the mentaiko sauce.

Like clockwork, we ordered a Crab Roll ($18) with the SG Chilli Crab Sauce. Looks-wise, the crab roll is worlds apart from the pretty mentaiko lobster roll.

The chilli crab sauce gave off a menacing vibe as the sauce had a dark red hue – an indication of the spiciness to come. Minced crab meat is mixed with a generous scoop of house-made chilli sauce, before being piled between brioche buns.

My only gripe is that the roll is plagued with a single texture of mush. Both the lobster and crab rolls are sandwiched between brioche buns.

This is because they are buttered and heated on a pan on high heat before being served. 10 Next-level Mantou Dishes That Transform This Simple Bun Into Something You’d Pay For If the spicy crab roll has got you hankering for something cold, I recommend giving their house-made Soft Serve ($4.50) a try. Those who are adventurous with their food can as well approach the friendly chef-owner to try their Lobster Ice Cream .

This ice-cream is made in-house from scratch, and is subject to availability. Salty, buttery, and creamy all at once, this is one unusual ice-cream taste you must try. Ambience at Lobsters & Ice Cream With just enough outdoor seats for 10 people, Lobsters & Ice Cream might not boast the best ambience.

The verdict I will definitely be back to Lobsters & Ice Cream for the legit food and reasonable rates.
