Profile

With a name like SEA, it’s no wonder this futuristic-looking eatery excels at dishes from the deep. Try the red snapper with tamarind sauce, a cleverly presented whole fish that is flash fried until crispy and then covered in a deliciously balanced sweet and pungent sauce. In general, the sauces here have a tendency to outshine the dishes they accompany, like the delightful lemon lime sauce with mustard seeds on too-dry spring rolls. The curries err on the conservative side, so ask them to add extra spice if you really want to take the plunge.

Note
