A NEW seafood-centric, The Manhattan Fish Market (TMFM), officially opened its door to the public at Setia Kenangan II in Kiulap yesterday.
Malaysian High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam Datuk Ghulam Jelani bin Khanizaman officiated the grand opening in the presence of Master Franchisee for Brunei Darussalam Haslinda binti Mohd Fauzi and Revenue Valley Group Chief Executive Officer George Ang.
The award-winning eatery offers a range of mouth-watering signature dishes such as the Manhattan fish ‘n’ chips, grilled salmon with black pepper sauce, Mediterranean baked fish, Manhattan mud pie, small grill, and garlic herb mussels as well as the legendary Manhattan flaming seafood platter.
The restaurant concept of fresh and flavourful seafood dates back over 180 years ago, with inspiration drawn from the famous Fulton Fish Market located in Manhattan, USA. The décor evokes a deeply-rooted feel of a historical market, with a contemporary touch.
At the opening, enthusiastic local foodies savoured the fresh and delectable TMFM selection, with some enjoying a taste of experiential dining with the spot flaming of the Manhattan Flaming Prawns.
