Long Beach Seafood Restaurant 长堤海鲜馆 (Dempsey)

My favourite food, going with belacan chilli

Simply can’t find fault with any of the dishes presented here! I guess first impressions do matter cause the huge razor clams that they started the meal with was juicy and fresh, and topped generously with garlic and fried shallots for the ultimate umami starter! Drunken prawn soup was also extremely flavorful with a strong alcoholic aftertaste. Black pepper crab was definitely the winner here with 3 huge crabs cooked with black pepper sauce worth licking every shell clean! Roast meats was also nicely done, but more surprising was the nice preserved vegetables on the side?? Fried taupok was served with a tangy chili topping, mushroom vegetable soup tasted very putien style and stir fried noodles was pretty good. Overall, a very satisfying meal with 💯💯 ambience as they provided us a private room for our birthday celebration. Fantastic service and definitely a nice place for special occasions! 👍🏻👍🏻

Razor clams are so fresh here. Seriously yummy.

Long Beach does their Black Pepper Crab so well. Not even kidding when I say that this is the best black pepper I have tried in Singapore. Super fresh and sweet and succulent crab meat. Go to Jumbo for chilli crab but come here for their black pepper crab.

White pepper sauce is not usually my favorite but this was yummy. The crab was very fleshy and one crab was sufficient for a table of 10 (but we did have many other dishes as part of the set menu). The chili crab on the other hand fell slightly short of expectations in both taste and freshness.

Many restaurants have a secret menu, it’ll be bestow upon you only if you dare ask, or have a negotiating/persuading skills of a notoriously motivated Insurance Agent, or the waiter/manager/owner of the establishment feels like you deserved the treatment. Once you get into that secret side of the culinary culture, it’s addictive, like getting into a Mafia. A delicious one.

As you might expect, dishes from those menu are always executed exceptionally well. Sweet and savoury, the stickiness of the meat just falls off the bone. It’s surprising given that their specialty is seafood but do not let this deter you from their amazing array of fresh seafood.

PS; this is only available at the Dempsey outlet, each outlet have their own secret item as I was told.
