I truly hope that @sevenscafe.sg brings their sublime seafood stew back soon, given that Singapore is currently in rainy season once again. Yep, it’s the closest thing we’ll ever get to winter here on the equator, and I’ll take it. Better than getting roasted alive, that’s for sure.⠀

A behemoth of a barramundi fillet is spectacularly seared and carefully draped over a pile of Venus clams that have been simmered in the the most brilliant bouillabaisse broth, and garnished with zucchini chunks & cherry tomatoes. The barramundi fillet is what truly justifies the asking price of $28++, as the fresh, majestically meaty fish is firm, flaky and the skin is delectably crisped up.⠀

The seafood bouillabaisse broth is simply stellar, with its sapidity and mild tanginess augmented by the glorious garlicky-ness of the bouillabaisse. The mildly briny & subtly sweet clams add even more flavour to the bouillabaisse, and the clams have the charming chew that makes these mollusks so highly desirable.⠀

The only thing that was lacking in this dish was carbs. I found myself constantly wanting for a couple of slices of warm bread to soak up every last drop of that breathtaking bouillabaisse. Actually, this seafood stew would work perfectly as a risotto too, come to think of it. Absolutely delicious, and I’m truly curious to see what specials Sevens Café has up their sleeves.
