Almost but not quite, 14 Oct 2011
Reviewer: anonymous (Adventurousness: I'll order it as per the menu.)

Comments: I took my fiancé to Blowfish on his birthday for a romantic dinner for two. The views are beautiful, the decor stylish, and the service very good.
However my Thai-style fish cakes were too dense and overcooked. Also my Malay Prawn Curry featured too few prawns and too many vegetables.
Maybe it was just my unlucky night. My fiancé's Calamari stuffed with cheese starter was delicious and his Yellowtail was done to perfection.
We shared a Malva pudding and it was sublime! The peanut butter ice-cream is really something to write home about.

Comments: I had my big boss come down from Durban, and knowing that he is a sushi enthusiast I took him to Blowfish. Service was great from the second we entered, and the sushi was absolutely divine, even the desert was tantalizing. Definitely will recommend this place.
