Lobsterman

Can you get affordable lobster in town? The answer is yes at your neighbourhood Lobsterman...

Aren't lobster meals expensive? Nah..you shouldn't think about your wallet when having lobsters especially when you can get them for as low as RM58.00++ per lobster from Lobsterman. No need to travel far, Lobsterman is in SS2. So hold up your lobster crackers, we going in for some American Lobsters!

Lobsterman is situated at the quiet area of SS2 which definitely simplifies parking. The decor is cozy with huge tanks full of live lobsters. You get to droll on the ones you want and select how you want it prepared. There are three different sizes to choose from, Small from RM88.00++ and Medium from RM108.00++. Large has a larger price.

If you want something filling, you will want to have the lobster prepared Heavenly Palace style. It's their specialty. The lobster is cooked in superior soup (made from chicken stock) and cheese before being served with fried yee mee. Lobsters are best eaten fresh and this one is no different. The flesh is very succulent and if you are on a budget, the yee mee will fill in the tummy spaces not filled by the lobsters.

"So hold up your lobster crackers and get stuck in"


If you're in for European, the Lobster Thermidor is quite good too. This one is cooked with mushrooms, crabs and creamy seafood sauce. The thing I like about Lobstermans' Thermidor is that it has a good balance of natural flavours instead of being overpowered by cheese alone. The dish doesn't feel too rich or creamy.. excellent!

Sashimi style is not bad too! Lobsterman brings the sashimi on a bed of ice to further preserve its freshness. All other non sashimi compatible parts can be cooked either with garlic or heavenly palace style. If you prefer your lobsters dry, then perhaps Hongkong Shelter Garlic is a better choice. This one comes fried with dry garlic and breadcrumbs!

They are open for lunch and dinner but close in between. So it is best to call ahead if you are planning to go. For the price you pay, this place is value for money as the proprietors of Lobsterman also owns an import/export business selling lobsters overseas. That's why this place is wallet friendly for a lobster meal....at least for now...
