Bought 4 discounted prepaid coupons each $49 for $110 and went with two friends. Went via restaurant's named two-storey modern boat, the journey took 45 minutes. Went to the right utmost site; restaurant has two sites both are tented one view ones each has may be 30 tables. Ordered and comment on food as follows:Butter Lobster $400 - $200 for 1, ordered 2, half for each. After had Boston lobster at two earlier occasions, shocked at lobsters' small size, thought there's only 1 lobster on the dish
Ordered and comment on food as follows:
Butter Lobster $400 - $200 for 1, ordered 2, half for each. After had Boston lobster at two earlier occasions, shocked at lobsters' small size, thought there's only 1 lobster on the dish and checked with waiter who said indeed two lobsters were on the dish that these are better ones comparing with the big forearm ones. So these seem to be those "baby lobsters", actually it very much look like the 牛油大蝦 as pictured in earlier review by Kan Lee -- taste is not badf but I prefer more the taste of the Boston lobster I had in that Shaukiwan restaurant birthday banquet. To me this is not worth the money for $100 for quantity like two small pieces of tasty meat. SO FUTURE BUYERS BEWARE!
豉椒炒蟶子 / Fried Razor Clams with Bean & Chili Sauce $160 - Waiter said only sell Clams by the piece for $40 each so ordered 4 pcs. They are more those 蟶子王. Tasted good.
Soy Friend Noodle $60 - A little too many soy but quantity and quality good.
Ginger juice Gai Lan $50 - this is disappointing, it did not come in hot pot and felt little ginger taste, very mildly fried.
Garoupa $200 - the cheaper basic one sold for $200 for 0.6 kg. Got one and its cooking time is just shorted some seconds with very little meat still stuck to the bone, it is delicious, its soup too, wasn't aware of ginger and spring onions perhaps taken by my friends or little. This is highly recommended and on my must order list for next meal here.
Can't remember at this moment what may be one more dish we ordered but checked bill added upto Hk$1,030 including tea and mustard seems $50 something. Should have taken a photo of the bill as seems to be around $150 difference.
Due to the discounted prepaid coupons we cannot order set meals which should be more economical but anyhow we had one meal that isn't expensive. With coupons we paid average $200 person including free boat here. If we come without coupons it would cost about $250 for one person, saved about $50 or $60 ferry fee not bad for one seafood meal with garoupa, Razor Clams and Lobster -- this lobster I would avoid next ime and can order some more hopefully good food. Of course if we eat as many as when we're younger instead of moderate eaters now the food cost will go up!
Tips the other visitors to Nam Ah Island - there are still one other bigger and perhaps 3 smaller restaurants there at least one or two with set-menu signs on the street, and there are price tags at the fish boxes that you can check and compare before selecting restaurants.
Further this is a decent restaurant with decent but small toilets on first floor.
