Seafood

This restaurant, located within the SAF Yacht Club, offers live seafood with a good view of the Johor Straits. You can actually see Johor Bahru from the restaurant. Prices are quite reasonable and they have some good set menus as well. We ordered Kam Heong Crab $60 for 2 crabs, Black Bean Fish Head, Fried Kailan and Oyster Omelette. Total damage including drinks (non alcoholic) was $131.

The Kam Heong Crab was not Kam Heong style. It was cooked with curry powder and had curry leaves thrown in. The oyster omelette was very salty in some parts. The kailan was normal but the star of the show was the Black Bean Fish Head. The saltiness and the wok heat from frying the aish head came through just nice.

Service wise, it was almost non existent as they had only two service staff although one could argue that with ordering done online what would you need the extra staff for? Wrong because you always have questions to ask about the menu.

And for the view, you have to be seated outside. But that comes with another problem - house flies! We spent most of the time waving away the tenacious flies determined to share our food.

Not coming back. Not even for the view which I can also enjoy next door at the izakaya.

This seafood restaurant located along MacPherson Road serves great crabs. Chilli, Black Pepper, Salted Egg, with Bee Hoon. Promotion now at S$38 for 2 X 400g mud crabs. I ordered Chilli Crabs of course. The meat is firm and succulent even for such small crabs and the gravy is thick and spicy. Goes well with Deep Fried Man Tou.

The other house specialty is their Steamed Baby Squids with Garlic. Must order a bowl of rice to enjoy the steamed squid sauce. Heavenly.

Special mention for their belachan chilli. Not for the faint hearted, this one packs a punch in terms of the heat. Great with clams and prawns.

Definitely my new go to place for chilli crabs. Do remember to book and be patient for your food. Even on a Monday night, it was full and we had to wait 25 mins for our seafood. Service is also stretched as they have only two staff serving and taking orders. They are very polite though. Just drink your beer and munch on edamame and pickled guava.

Went to the restaurant at Kovan after they moved from Tiong Bahru. First of all I think the ownership has changed? Can’t tell if it’s Wendy behind the mask. Ordered the chilli crab, drunken cockles and fried mee sua. Taste is as I remembered though. But the items in the menu has certainly changed. Hmmm....
