We went to the old Customs House for lunch. The riverside view was magnificent, but the food fell short. The meal began with an appetizer labelled Salt and Pepper Prawns. Unfortunately, too much salt was used in the batter and it felt as though we were eating spoonfuls of salt with every bite of the prawn. In the end, we left most of the prawns untouched and instead gulped down the water to wash away the biting taste of the salt.
The main dish was veal scallope with crabmeat and mash potatoes. It came as a huge relief after the prawn fiasco. A generous serving of sweet crabmeat accompanied the thick slices of veal.
