Arguably my favorite dish at Olivia & Co's tasting, the Quayside Soft Shell Crab Burger is an interesting fusion of Japanese and western cuisines and it represents O&C's food philosophy of creating flavor packed, fun fusion food very well.

The skillfully tempura'd soft shell crab was sat upon a bed of savory sesame slaw that helped to bring out the mild flavors of the soft shell crab. As for the crab itself, it was rather mild tasting but it was crunchy and meaty without being overly oily. As a matter of fact, none of us noticed any grease from the soft shell crab. The jalapeño mayonnaise that's applied liberally to both the top and bottom brioche buns, which O&C bakes in-house for maximum flavor and quality control, brings satisfying amounts of savoriness and creaminess to the burger. This stellar combination of elements will, without a doubt, take you straight to Flavortown.

Thanks Olivia & Co, as well as Erica from Food News PR, for hosting this topnotch tasting, and Burpple for the invite!
