House of Seafood @ 180

A friend of my wife is in town, so we went for dinner at "House of Seafood @ 180" for some black pepper crabs. It is one of the seafood restaurants that we frequent.

I shan't talk too much about the food, just to say that you really must try out the black pepper crab, which is delicious! A word of advice, though. It is hard to find parking, so best not to drive there. But they do offer valet services (starts after 7pm, I think) so all is not lost for those who drive.

Our last visit(s) (two of them, a few days from each other) was in early August 2009, when the baby was 4 months old. Back then, he already drew the attention of the waitresses, who kept coming over to play with him. They kept him occupied, allowing us to enjoy our dinner.

Today, when we went, the waitresses (some of them) still remember the baby (the baby is now 8 months old), and played with him, and even carried him around. While we were seated just beside the road, the baby ended up at the counter way inside the restaurant, being carried in turns by waitresses and even one of the kitchen hands! Guess the baby is more popular than the dad... the good thing is, he doesn't cry a lot (only when he is hungry or sleepy) and he is quite okay with people. I will be posting recent photos (we visited a goat farm and koi farm yesterday) of him soon (like in a few weeks...) so watch this space!
