There are some restaurants we reserve for celebrations, special events, or when we feel like giving ourselves a treat. Eng Seng Restaurant is one of them.

They open at 5pm, and are sold out by 7pm. The service is rude and lacks patience, and the environment is hot and humid. The place is loud with big groups chatting, and cars zooming outside. To make things worse, they don't have a menu, and you can only ask for the daily special. Despite all this, we have never been disappointed by their food — especially the black pepper crab. People might have an angry face 😡 while they are queuing, but I have never once seen anyone leave with one. This proves just how good their food is!

Most of the time, we visit this place with our family or friends. But on one occasion, it was really special. My dad had a sudden craving for their black pepper crab, but there was only the two of us! Of course, I immediately agreed to this idea, and both of us flew down as fast as we could. Imagine two men chilling over beer, and the very addictive black pepper crabs.

This must be my most memorable dinner ever. #hawkerpedia
