Sandi has never been there and was impressed with the decor. It's very classy and impressive especially as you take a walk on the see through floor with koi swimming underneath. She was hesitant in walking over it and I had to assure her it was o.k.(not to worry, mommy's right next to you).
The waiter came along and informed us we could choose 2 appetizers and 2 entrees plus we would get a bowl of their famous garlic noodles. We chose the Grilled Beef Satay which was marinated in lemongrass and Asian herbs. There were 4 in one serving. We had 2 each though we probably could have eaten more. They were not your usual satay, no peanuty flavor at all....and it was still delicious. The other appetizer was just as good if not better. Crispy Rice Paper Roll which were filled with chicken, black mushrooms, carrots, jicama, vermicelli and came with a dipping sauce.
They were so light and crispy without the greasiness which usually accompanies these type of egg rolls.
Four our entree: we shared the Hanger Steak served with Haricot Vert (fancy "French" name for string beans) and Angel Hair with Prawns. These 2 entrees were less impressive. The steak was chewy, the beans were undercooked; no tenderness there. It was also served with sesame seasoned rice.
The spaghetti was nothing special though the prawns were tasty and cooked to perfection.
The Garlic noodles were good but definitely overrated.
If we return to Crustacean, we would probably concentrate on the appetizers and perhaps try their other specialties like the crab and a few others.
