Sea View Re....wait, it's Vessels View Restaurant

Actually it's not that bad, they have tried their best to provide the best view, so I appreciate the effort.

I went there couple of weeks ago, and upon making reservation a day before, I thought it would be too hot to sit outdoor so I got indoor table instead. However, when I got there, the indoor design was...well, let's just say it just didn't meet my expectation as it looks better in picture. The table, chair and flooring are all similar to those old hotel restaurant which is not fancy at all. And the waiters kept going in and out from indoor to outdoor to cater both customers that I felt warm inside. Hence, I seek for their waitresses help to move to outdoor for I noticed it was quite windy (there was this lady and her hair was totally messed up because of the wind). However, I was told all tables were put under reservation and there was no chance for me to get one. I didn't complaint though, because I didn't book it. But, I was at the restaurant for more than 2 hours and there were a few table outside that were empty. If they knew how to serve better, they should have offered (I remembered they told me they held table only for 15 mins or so).

I tried the Yin&Yang because it was recommended. I tried their French Oyster as well and all of us have Mixed Grill. None of those impress us. It's not bad, but it's just average. Their cocktails are not bad!

on Rama Thai Sharksfin Restaurant: Rama 'o Rama..ohhh.......
I was very disappointed to see sharkfin soup being reviewed and eaten. As soon as I hear about it or see it on the menu - I feel disgusted and angry and leave straight away. I encourage others to do the same. As an avid scuba diver who sees the beautiful fish in the ocean, it is heart wrenching to know how the slaughter occurs: "Sharks are often still alive when their fins are sliced off, and their bodies are thrown back into the sea." from: http://www.wildsingapore.com/news/20060910/060926-3.htm and seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4t9vX9IyFA Search on youtube for sharkfin slaughter and you will find many more pleas to protect these wonderful creatures and the envirnoment they live in. And weddings celebrate by eating the soup?! Horrible... please resist: http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iO5eHwvCAYYt7QxIZE2cgPTXUdTw IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE!
