Seafood Pirates – MSG-Free Seafood Soup for the Ultimate Indulgence!
我们喜欢看到年轻一代创业的鹰派业务。对于27岁的Darren Teo和33岁的Leonard Chen来说,烹饪一直是他们的爱好。
The duo met when they were in national service, where Darren was Leonard’s subordinate. They shared that they clicked very well and ever since, have remained in contact. Fast forward a few years later, the duo decided to venture into the food and beverage scene, and Seafood Pirates was conceived.
The name ‘Seafood Pirates’ was inspired by the character, Kunkka, in the game Defence Of The Ancients 2, or DOTA 2 for short. He is an admiral that dresses like a pirate. In the game, Kunkka controls water and is linked to the sea and oceans. Since the stall specialises in seafood, they decided to take up the name ‘Seafood Pirates’, in tribute to Kunkka’s water-based skills.
我们订购了海盗的签名($ 6.80)和一碗牡蛎煎蛋米(如果汤汤,则为1.50美元,Ala Carte $ 3)。
海鲜汤包含成分。汤的价格为6.80美元,有虾,鱼类,蛤,牡蛎,甚至是鱼毛,这是在小贩环境中通常不供应的。二人分享说,他们每天早晨的新鲜海鲜供应到来。
The broth is very different from the usual seafood soup broth you get elsewhere. It is lighter, thinner and most importantly, sans MSG.
“We wanted something that people could eat daily. The seafood soups elsewhere are usually very heavy and laden with MSG. It gets very jelak,” Darren shared.
The duo uses wholesome ingredients to make the base of the broth – fish bones, chicken bones, prawns and even crabs, add to the natural sweetness of the stock.
当订单到达时,煮了四个多小时的汤,然后将其挖成食用的部分,并用新鲜的海鲜煮沸,从而进一步增强汤的口味。结果是非常轻巧,富有味道的汤,非常可口。
For a zesty twist, have the seafood with the homemade tau-cheo chilli sauce, which elevated the natural umami from the seafood and gave it a nice tart contrast.
We really enjoyed the oyster omelette rice, which came with three plump and juicy oysters. After being plated on a bed of rice, the omelette is doused with a hearty serving of kecap manis, which gives a sweet kick to the savoury omelette.
We also had a plate of Spicy Golden Clams ($8) to share. Although it lacked the strong wok hei that we were looking for, the fresh clams were sweet and savoury, with a good kick from the chilli flakes added.
The basis for cooking a great seafood dish is to ensure that the seafood used is fresh. Without fresh seafood, there won’t be any natural sweetness that distinguishes a great seafood soup from a mediocre one. It is heartening to know that fresh seafood is used at Seafood Pirates, despite the extra cost of procuring it.
