Before I became a business owner, I used to work at one of the offices in Buona Vista. At that time, my options for lunch and after-work hours dining are limited to a few nearby hawker centers and Holland Village, which were only accessible by the free shuttle bus service provided in the area. In recent times, a new mall in Buona Vista, The Star Vista, was opened, providing another location for the working crowd to dine. The location of the mall was perfect as it is strategically positioned just next to the Buona Vista MRT station. Although I was no longer working at Buona Vista, I was pretty curious about it and therefore visited this mall for the first time a few months ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the unique architecture of the The Star Vista which integrates a natural alfresco ambiance within a retail environment, focusing mainly on F&B outlets.
As I have never tried the food of quite a number of restaurants in The Star Vista, I thought it will be a good idea to write up a few reviews of my experiences in some of these eateries! Hence, the very first restaurant I am going to introduce is none other than the Boston Seafood Shack:

 |
| Really interesting decor with a fishermen's wharf theme! |
 |
| The restaurant adheres to a self-service concept in order to keep prices affordable |
 |
| Store promotion information, ordering instructions for first timers and menu |
 |
| An assortment of condiments including chilli and tomato sauce, malt vinegar and pepper |
We decided to go for a soup and a seafood basket for two. And here comes the food:
 |
| Seafood chowder |
 |
| Seafood basket with fishes, scallops, prawns, calamari and fries at $19.50 nett |
 |
| We were really enjoying our food! |
We thought the seafood basket and clam chowder were pretty good! The seafood and fries were really crispy and not too oily. I particularly like the fish and the calamari which I thought were marinated quite well with just the right amount of flavor. The prawns and scallops were more bland but as the outer crusts were very tasty, the overall taste was not bad :). If you like your food to be a little sour, do not forget to dip them in malt vinegar! I really love how the vinegar made the seafood even more appetizing! The clam chowder tasted better than it looked....in fact, we thought it was really delicious! There was quite a lot of clams in what looked like a very small bowl of soup so it was worth a try for soup lovers.
And here was my outfit for the day:
 |
| Lace Panel Dress and Ashley Clutch coming to Lace And Buttons soon! Simply love the specially hand-sewn lace details on the sides of the dress :) |
 |
| The stylish clutch came with a strap so it can be sling on as well! |
So if you are in the mood for some fish and chips or fried seafood at a affordable price in a themed restaurant, Boston Seafood Shack may be an ideal restaurant for you!
