Le Corsaire

Just came back from Oran for a wonderful seafood dinner. Since Oran is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the seafood here are really fresh. So at about 7pm, we drove our way from Eye Turk to Oran. After about 30 minutes drive, we came to the most famous seafood restaurant in Oran - Restaurant Le Corsaire.

Le Corsaire is famous for its sailor like costume which is very similar to those in restaurant The Ship. The restaurant is decorated with any ship related items such as

Giant lobster on a fish tank..

Light bulbs mounted on a ship wheel..

We were lucky to be served by an English speaking waiter. Hence under his recommendation, we went to choose our fishes and also they way to cook them.

Just when i was busy snapping pictures in the restaurant, one of the waiter came and requested to snap a picture with KC. He was very happy and even asked us to translate the meaning of "Ni Hao" for him. After telling him the meaning, immediately he went to his peers and began teaching them instead. What a fun guy.

Initially we wanted to order the famous fish soup, calamari, prawns and also fishes. Somehow along the way, there was some communication problem and we ended without the fish. But lucky for that because even without having the fish we were already stuffed.

We started off with the recommended fish soup. The waiter gave me a smile when i snapped the picture. Excellent customer service!

Bread with sauce made from mustard, fish paste and mayonnaise. Yummy!

Shrimps cooked in tomato sauce.

Grilled shrimps! I personally preferred this because this can really taste the sweetness of the shrimps.

Grilled calamas. Classic and good!

During the course of the dinner, we noticed there was a little kid maybe around 1 or 2 years old sitting next to our table. He (i assumed) is really a smart kid because we were watching him using spoon to scope out the soup and also rice from the cheese baked clams. What amazed us is he seems to be a very well mannered kid because he will changed to use a fork when he realised the spoon is not working and even learnt to wipe his mouth clean after every 2 or 3 scoop of food. I was so amazed that i secretly snapped a picture of him. Then he realised and he gave me a shy smile and continued with his dinner but glancing at me shyly occasionally during his meal. So cute!

So after our main course, we decide to have a the dessert with mint tea to end our dinner. The total bill came about RM150. Though it was a little expensive but it was a great to have something else for dinner instead of our normal home cooked food. Why? Because no washing plates for a night la! Haha
