Nude Seafood Restaurant had been on my bucket list for a while, so was glad we finally cleared it. An Asian contemporary seafood restaurant servicing delicious fine-dining seafood dishes at affordable prices.

Despite being situated in the CBD financial hub, Nude Seafood Restaurant sports a simple but elegant decor that makes dining here comfortable. Service was warm and friendly as well.

An interesting starter of Tofu Skin Salad (SGD$5.80) with chewy texture, paired with zesty tinge of sourplum vinaigrette, cloud ear fungus and spinach.

Then we had the Crab White Chawanmushi (SGD$8.00), a premier Japanese steamed egg custard luscious with crab meat.

Next, Stir-Fried Broccoli with Almonds (SGD$5.80), a crunchy and sweet dish that is a very enjoyable appetiser.

Then we had the Black Pepper King Prawns (SGD$8.90) - an interesting fusion of black pepper and tangy assam flavours, riding on springy texture of the fresh king prawns. There is a minimum 2 pieces order requirement for this dish; and it comes with crispy fried buns ("mantou").

A Korean delight was served next - Gochujang Cauliflower (SGD$6.80). Expect the red pepper paste to tease your tongue, and soft crunch of cauliflower, almond flake and daikon radish to support the interesting taste medley.

Next up, Hickory Smoked Salmon (SGD$12.80) in Bamboo Leaf, wrapped a la "otah" style; tasty and succulent, highly recommended.

Then we had the Squirrel Grouper (SGD$18.80), deep fried exterior with flakey interior. The foam of oat milk espuma atop, as well as lychee slices at the base, added elements of sweetness to the appetite-whetting sweet sour sauce.

Following that, the Steamed Pomfret (SGD$13.80) on banana leaf. The layer of preserved molded vegetables "mei cai" and spring onion atop the single side of pomfret lends a nice satisfying flavour.

Another fish dish was the Miso Halibut (SGD$20.80) , accompanied by shitake mushrooms and spinach. Robust mushroom broth floored the dish, turning up the flavours by a few notches.

After that, we enjoyed the Grilled Japanese Squid (SGD$16.80), bathed in tantalising Thai spices sauce, sporting a lovely chewy texture that gives great "mouth-feel". By its side lay the purple shredded cabbage slathered in Thai chilli vinaigrette.

Last but not least, Oatmilk Spinach Tofu (SGD$12.80) - velvety fingers of beancurd and sliced mushrooms luxuriating in the flavourful dark gravy, tasting fantastic and texturized with crispy kale topping.

We also tried their special Nigata Japanese steamed rice in bamboo - Salted Fish Blue Pea Flower Rice with Jinhua Ham (SGD$4.80), too bad the sweetness of the corn overpowered the ham; but the salted fish's umami flavour still broke through nicely.

The Blue Pea Mushroom Rice (SGD$4.80) was more outstanding in taste; redolent of straw mushrooms, and topped with shredded seaweed.

Moving on to desserts, the Nude Honeydew Sago (SGD$6.80) was both refreshing and delicious- honeydew melon balls, sticky peach gum and chewy tapioca sago spheres dressed by rich, chilled, milky coconut gravy.

Next, Brownie with Ice-Cream (SGD$6.80) - moistened chocolately rectangle served with vanilla ice-cream. Nothing mind-blowing, but good comfort dessert that keeps to its quaint normalcy.

Finally, the Tiramisu (SGD$6.80) is a homemade delight served in a glass - a rich medley of espresso soaked sponge fingers, mascarpone cheese, whipped cream, cocoa powder and hints of rum.

Overall verdict of our experience here was definitely worth many shots, enjoyable, and a place worth revisiting time and again.
