Apart from my company family day held at Sentosa Wave House and KM8 which has since closed down, I don’t believe I’ve had ever dined on the beach, at least not under the moonlight! In fact, as my guest and I arrived very early, we managed to snag a table on the jetty. So we were actually dining amidst the lapping waves, definitely a first for me. It was a really breezy evening and I was thankful to have brought along a hair clip or I would have been like a mad woman. Scroll down further to see pictures of the Sentosa BBQ by the Beach party, complete with crooning guitarists!

You can watch the chefs grill the food right before your very eyes. And there are quite a few methods of doing the BBQ. Picture above is what we would associate with the usual kind of barbecue.

This is the vertical grill, as demonstrated by my dining companion.

This is the way the Hawaiians do it, via a traditional Hawaiian underground oven known as the imu. It’s the same as what the Maoris of New Zealand would do, except in New Zealand they would call it a Hangi. And I don’t think they would use the metal grill either.

BBQ Beef Skewers $10 — Very tender and juicy. One of my favourite dishes of the evening. I had 2 servings of this!

BBQ Mango Butter Crayfish $12 — Pretty tasty, but the mango butter sauce overwhelmed the BBQ flavours of the crayfish

Tiger Beer Crispy Baby Squid $12, fried till really crispy

Bonito infused Cod Fish with sautéed mushrooms and garlic fried rice $18 — Cod was very tender. Wouldn’t mind if the cod had a stronger flavour though.

Grilled Seafood Platter $10

Sambal Seafood platter from the Hawaiian Imu. Be careful, the sambal packs a spicy punch!

Salt-wrapped parcel of monkfish, black mussels and sweet shrimp, with a touch of white wine and roasted tomato $30 — Sorry for the lousy photos, it was pretty dark by then. And since we chose to sit right at the end over the water, it was really dark where we were. Dining in the dark, have you tried it? We enjoyed all the bits like the prawns and mussels. However, the fish was really salty and since it was so dark, we couldn’t see that it was really fish that we were eating and at one point we thought it was the pack of salt that was used in the cooking of this dish!

I liked the sausages very much, but the others thought they were too salty! The beef ribs were also very good. It was the last dish I ate for the evening and I made sure to finish it because it was cooked just right with a beautiful flavour.

It only looks bright in this photo because I have upped the camera’s ISO. Look how grainy the photo is.
