Sizzler

Steak, Seafood, Salad. Mum's membership card was nearing expiry so we dined here for a final use of her privileges.




Before the main course arrived, its a usual practice to fill myself up with bread and rounds of salad bar.


Garlic Bread


Cream of Mushroom Soup




Salads


Grilled Salmon ($24.49)

in yakitori sauce and sesame seeds. It is amazing how they achieved such a crisp grilled surface with even and optimal coating of sauce. The fish flaked distinctly into firm thin pieces appropriately lined with fats and was mildy sweetish without any overkill. Every mouthful shouts "best salmon ever"!



Grilled Dory ($21.49)

Mum's fish was deceivingly large but merely a thin piece seasoned with green herbs and served with tartar sauce.


The Sirloin ($25.99)

Prime cut sirloin grilled medium-well in its natural flavour, no sauce given (unless at a $1.50 top-up). Even the baked potato came without any toppings. How natural.

Ended off with fruits, agar and two attempts on their softserve dispenser; more for the d-i-y novelty than the craving for icecream. One in cone and one in a cup topped with lovely rainbow sprinkles and chopped peanuts.

Fish & Co

Flooding with excitement, Cassandra and i braved the rain to the Glasshouse for her first ever Fish & Co meal. Unbelivable-sounding but for real.


New York Fish & Chips ($10)

She sure knew what to order. Prior to coming, her mum had already recommended their exclusive signature to her. A classic battered fish fillet integrated with a twist of cheese fillings. Enjoyed.


Grilled Salmon ($12)

On the contrary, my attempt of an ever-common dish met with less contentment. Grilling and seasoning kept in standards but the excessively fatty fish was too soft and flaky to bear any firmness at all.

The accompaniment of salad made it a light lunch. Perhaps too light for me.


One thing i must rave about is their affable service. The manager makes the effort to drop by every table to check things out and offers her assistance anytime. Well done.

Greenwood Again!

Dad just can't get enough of this place. He is sure a versatile eater to attempt a different fish everytime he visits. For me its simply salmon & more salmon.

We crashed the place on a Friday night with no reservations made. Fortunately we were offered a two-seater that was vacant until 8.30pm.


Foccacia Bread

The crusty surface is a wonder, but today's batch of bread was exceedingly salty than the last. Seems like they have forgot to sprinkle some herbs in as well. Even so, the soft interiors were adequate for us to request for a second helping.


Creamy Mushroom Soup with Truffle Oil ($8.95)


Baked Black Cod "Chilean Seabass" ($24.95)

Alas, i took the cue this time to venture further into their selections. So here is my fleece-white order without regrets. The silky flesh is so tender and smoothly lined with fats, futhermore dashed with a commendably palatable sauce... i swear cod had never tasted so shiok.



Pan-seared Snapper ($19.95)

Snapper comes next in his list after the Yellow-fin Tuna and Mahi-Mahi. I took a bite but found that the mushy fillet didn't do for me.


Granny Smith Apple Crumble Pie ($8.95)

It took us a 15 minute wait for our dessert but the result came close worthy. Would award full marks for presentation- that vanilla icecream-filled phyllo basket and caramelised swirls were enough evidence of effort. Notice a delightful change here, the pie was filled with slices of green apple goodness instead of the common buttery mush.


Dad says we will be back. And i'm not surprised.

Greenwood Revisited

Back for more fishy business. A family affair today for Dad's early birthday celebration- with the bill generously footed by Mum.

We were served bread this time...


homemade Foccacia slice

Lovely. Amazingly light and savoury with a salted crisp crust.


Char-grilled Norwegian Salmon ($19.95)

Sis & i ordered the same dish.

Prior to my previous disappointment from their Atlantic Chinook Salmon, i'm convinced that a Norwegian salmon would better do for me this time. Being down-to-earth proved a wise choice made; the fish beared much more firmness than raw flaky one i had. Loved the wonderful sauce, akin to honey mustard, and the sweet potato mash as well.



Crumbed Fish & Chips ($17.95)

Mum had their signature which came with good homemade thai chilli & tartar sauce. The fish was fresh but too small in portion.


Char-grilled Mahi Mahi ($26.95)

The dish made Dad love this place even more... so i guess another return is highly possible.

Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro

Dad and i decided to try something new for dinner. Tucked away from the city, deep inside Greenwood Avenue lies an excellent spot for an intimate seafood meal. Driving is undeniably necessary and reservations are strongly recommended.



The exterior of the restaurant did lack the appeal- it is literally a fish market where huge exposed fishes are available for purchase. Walk further in and a dim room comes to view... wow, with a cosy and serene ambience i liked. It took me little observance to notice the many illustrations of fishes hung on the walls, quite an eye-opener.



Service staff were prompt, our orders were taken fast.


Lobster Tofu ($14.95)

To start off, dad ordered a homemade lobster tofu for sharing. Separated by an eggplant slice in the middle are two round coins deep fried to a light crackling crisp. Each contained two little pieces of lobster meat.


We both had fish made our-style where we chose from a range of available catches and our preferred cooking method. Different species at different prices of course. Dad picked the tuna, chargrilled to medium doneness. I guess he enjoyed it.


Char-grilled Yellowfin Tuna ($24.95)

My choice is obviously SALMON- but this time not the usual type. I went along with the waiter's recommendation of a rare king atlantic salmon, chargrilled. An additional $7 load on our bill.


Char-grilled Chinook Atlantic Salmon ($26.95)

Its either a miscommunication or a glaring mistake. My request for a medium-well fillet turned out to be an outrageously raw dish. Only the surfaces were cooked; the remaining parts were all pink and fleshy. Good thing the fish was ultra-fresh, but somehow its flaky nature didn't manage to win me over.



The various choices offered is sure enough to bring us back. Dad intends to return on his birthday next month. FRESHNESS IS THE KEY TO GOOD SEAFOOD.
