threadfin bream and threadfin two different fish. 1 is an ok eating small fish. The other is a big ugly bugger with very fine meat. "mah yao yu" in cantonese, commanding a big premium.

Nice. Singapore is really culprit for imitation food. Don't know why govt never enforce. Cod fish sold here is virtually all not cod.

Not just scallop, but probably fake "tuna" and wagyu beef too. I personally suspect 90% of sushi restaurants that do serve tuna and 90% of steak houses that serve wagyu beef are not really serving the genuine product........

That's why it's better to buy from the supermarket and cook it yourself.

Wah lao ay..... this kind of imitation scallop has been around for many years already, now then so many noobs realized ah.

They love to serve these bright orange fried breadcrumb coated version in cheap buffet spreads. These are essentially scallop-shaped crab sticks

Ang moh stupid ma.......we eat many many years of crab stick we already know the taste and texture liao.

Surimi is machiam the crab stick we eat, the thicker texture ones they cut n fry look like scallop, but the taste is like the sweet sweet crab stick kind.
