Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies – $10 Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in Orchard Road

I was having lunch in a hotel one day and was asking one of the staff where to get cheap and good eats in Orchard Road? He immediately recommended me to try Rabbit Brand which sells $10 Buddha Jump Over the Wall in Lucky Plaza.

Immediately the next day, I dropped by to have lunch and was super impressed. I am sure many of you are familiar with Rabbit brand. No no, not the one that sells sweet, but the one that supplies abalone, fish maw etc. Because they supply seafood (Yeow Seng (Seafood) Pte Ltd), opening a restaurant is a good choice because they can mark down the prices.

$10 Buddha Jump Over the Wall?!?! He is not kidding! Ok lah, to be exact, it is $10.15 including GST. Stewed with generous amounts of mini delicacies such as dry scallops, abalone, mushrooms, sea cucumber and fish maw, the taste is mellow and tender. In fact it is lighter than Shen Xi Soup but still decent. A set comes with a small plate of bean sprouts and a bowl of rice.

Something cheaper? Go for the $5.90 seafood steamed rice with mini abalone, mushroom, tender chicken chunks and lup cheong. Drizzled with some superior soy sauce, it is not too bad for a meal.

For something more luxurious, go for braised whole abalone set from $11.25. Apparently it is a popular choice as the abalone absorbed the oyster sauce and pairs with the white rice.

While I won’t recommend the braised claypot fish maw soup ($5.90) because it was a little too bland, we like the tom yam version ($5.90) which is hearty with a mild kick. Plus you get quite a few huge pieces of fish maw.

All set come with rice, dessert (cold white fungus soup) and unlimited Chinese tea. Pair all your meals with their homemade XO sauce. They have another outlet in 11 Circular Road as well.
