Ngon Quá Foodie Blog: Plank

We recently enjoyed lunch at Plank Seafood Provision in The Domain. It is a a bit on the pricey side but the seafood is fresh and very tasty. It is definitely a good place to celebrate a special occasion because the atmosphere is nice. I ordered a coffee and was amazed by the presentation - coffee was served in a French press, with creamer, and the option of sugar cubes or rock sugar on a stick.


We ordered the Crispy Rice Cake to start. It was 4 bite-size rice cakes that was packed full with flavor. I was surprised that they were on such a large plate because that made them look small. LOL.


For our "main dish", we Petite Seafood Tower that came with 12 oysters (chef's choice), shrimp cocktail (5 plump shrimps), and a salmon crudo. Personally, I liked the salmon crudo the most because it was so flavorful. Second, I enjoyed the oysters. They were a lot smaller than oysters we get at other seafood restaurants but they oysters were fresh and did not have a "ocean taste." The horseradish was fresh and had a subtle taste that was not in-your-face. I actually had to put a lot of horseradish on my oysters before I could taste it.


We also got the Crab & Curry Basmatic Rice as a side dish. It was delicious and the curry did not dominate the dish. We split the dish because I like to squeeze a lime on my rice. I also like the fresh cilantro.


To round out our dining experience, we had the Meyer Lemon Chess Tart. It was a good size tart that they sliced into 4 sticks so great for sharing. What we liked the most is that the taste was very subtle. It was not too lemony sour nor was it sweet. And it goes great with coffee.


We enjoyed our dining experience at Plank Seafood Provision. Best of all, when we told them about food allergy, which every dish that they brought out, they ensured us it was specially prepared to avoid cross-contamination. We plan to return but, as I mentioned earlier, it will be for a special occasion.

Good afternoon. The two widows from today’s readings teach us an important lesson about the theological virtue of love, or charity, which is...
