Incredible in its decor, upon entering South Sea, guests are enveloped within a sense of exclusivity and refinement.

Discerning diners can select from their impressive array of seafood, including the highly sought-after Alaskan Spider Crab, large Australian Lobsters, Geoduck, and the coveted Sarawak Empurau—often referred to as the ‘King of the River’ for its luxurious, buttery texture.

Sustainability and exceptional freshness go hand in hand for South Sea. Upholding responsible fishing practices, they ensure all of their suppliers adhere to all laws and regulations, something that Daiyan is passionate about.
With all of their seafood arriving into South Sea in peak condition, they actively preserve this level of quality by investing into their aquariums, with state of the art tanks that replicate ocean conditions. This commitment to ethical sourcing beams with respect for the marine ecosystems and shows dedication to delivering the finest, responsibly-harvested ingredients onto the table.

An escape from the everyday, South Sea promises a multi-sensory dining experience that is ultra-catered to your taste buds. Choose your seafood, and choose your preferred cooking style and flavours, crafting your own bespoke dining experience. Personalised approach and knowledgeable staff is a part of their offering, from wine pairings to your seafood, or the best preparation methods to bring out the best of your seafood picks.
A routine Daiyan recommends to make the most out of her dining experience in South Sea is to have a stroll through their aquarium, picking out her own seafood, and having a conversation with the knowledgable staff on the best methods of preparation, or what their best catch of the day is.

Daiyan certainly has her own favourites in South Sea: “Anything salted egg, lobster, crabs, or prawns I love.”
A tastemaker in her own right, her other go-to orders include the Australian Lobster that is prepared in two styles—delicate sashimi paired with a flavourful broth for a shabu-shabu experience that she enjoys sharing with her friends and family, the Empurau steamed in soy sauce to bring out the natural sweetness of the fish, spider crab with a creamy butter sauce, salt and pepper mantis prawns, and for non-seafood dishes, she enjoys their herbaceous char grilled lamb and stir fried kailan that compliments all dishes well.

Daiyan shares her personal tip: sit in the main dining hall to bask in the beauty of South Sea’s open roof and dine under the stars, or if she has any special occasions or is hosting a private dinner, lounge in comfort in one of their private rooms.
Their menu is diverse, accommodating various dietary preferences and religious considerations. Experience a multifaceted dining experience in South Sea for an extraordinary culinary experience that engages all senses.
