I got to know about Boater’s Bar through the most unexpected source: Halloween event on Eventbrite. I was excited about going all gothic to attend the event. Especially after finding out that the bar is surrounded by the sea, with lots of yachts. Yes, yachts. But alas, the plan did not materialize. Despite this, I know I have to visit this place because of … yachts. So here I am, surrounded by breathtaking scenery of the sea, the pier, the docks, the fairy lights and the yachts. This experience alone is worth a special visit to here. To make it even more worthwhile is the good variety of food options from the grills, bar bites to pizzas. And some of the grills are fantastic: being perfectly grilled to have that distinctive char while retaining the natural flavour and succulent texture of the ingredients. The service is good and friendly, but very busy. All in all, this bar makes for a real good chilling place. As said, the grilled items are seasoned and grilled to perfection with that lovely distinctive aroma of charred meat. Scallop and Bacon is so succulent, juicy and full of flavour. Thr same goes for Bacon-wrapped Asparagus. Tiger Prawn is so creamy and briny sweet. These three skewers are must-try here. I’m so impressed with the grilled food that I order more off the menu. Shitake Mushroom is amazingly juicy and tender, making it another must-try here. Pinchos Morunos Pork is very tasty but is slightly on the dry side as compared to other skewkers. Black Angus Striploin is more moist in texture than the pork, and is very flavourful. Okonomiyaki Twist features a good mix of streaky bacon, sweet corn, cabbage, bonito flakes and Japanese mayonnaise to yield a very hearty, super flavourful treat. Fried Soft-shell Crab with spicy yuzu mayonnaise is deep fried to crispy perfection, with soufflé, savoury briny sweet interior. One of the better Soft-shell crab I have tried actually. Thoughts: Awesome Place to chill and enjoy good food + awesome view
