Seng House

Seng House was a cosy little place for a nice casual dinner date! Ordered the smoked squid and citrus and claypot chicken rice to share with my friend because we weren’t too hungry, but when both of these dishes arrived, our hunger was aroused haha!

Our favourite had to be the smoked squid, because you can really taste the smokiness from the grill but the tangy flavours of the pomelo that were topped on it helped to bring a good balance to the bitter char! This was a solid 8/10 for me and my friend.

The chicken rice came in a claypot and we were told to mix it so the slightly charred crispy bits at the bottom get distributed, and we absolutely loved how fragrant the rice was! Very interesting take on the local chicken rice dish, paired with a solid spicy hainanese chili sauce.

For dessert we had the durian creme brulee, two of my favourites as a sweet treat after dinner. The sugar at the top was slightly bitter but when eaten together with the custard and durian, perfectly evens out the sweetness and making the dessert one that you could just keep on going!

Overall, I loved the chill cosy vibes of the place and interesting food choices offered at Seng House. Only gripe is that it can be a bit out of the way if you don’t have a car, but there are a few buses that brings you to different mrt stations, so just beware of this :)

Nice dinner place with good vibes and satisfactory meal. Ordered claypot chicken rice, smoked squid & citrus and the durian crème bulee. The claypot chicken rice was very fragrant and the charred rice added additional crisp. Love the smoked squid the most! It has a nice smoky taste and the squid was chewy with addition of pomelo which gives it a refreshing twist. Creme bulee was also great, it was creamy and rich and the durian pengat at the side enhanced the durian flavour further which ties the dish nicely together. There were quite a few interesting items on the menu, would definitely be back again to try the other dishes!

Delicious food at affordable price

Delicious Hainanese pork chop, crispy outside, tender inside top with the delicious sauce. Double Gnnochi is also delicious with lots of mushrooms. The Frozen Ondeh is a must try. Super delicious ! Wonderful ambient too !

My wife and I were looking for a place to have dinner when we stumbled upon this restaurant along Tanjong Katong Road. Curious, we decided to give it a try and we’re so glad we did.

The interior took us on a nostalgic trip back to the ’70s, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made us feel very welcomed. After a few recommendations from the person in charge, we decided on two main courses and a dessert.

I ordered the Double Bacon Smash Burger, and it was absolutely fantastic. The homemade brioche bun was soft and buttery, and the Wagyu patties were cooked to perfection. Both my wife and I agreed it tastes better than Shake Shack’s version any day.

My wife went with the Homemade Spaghetti with Fresh Crab Meat in Special Chili Sauce. The flavors were bold and unique, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A word of advice: go with the normal spice level because it already packs quite a punch! :)

For dessert, we tried the Durian Crème Brûlée, and it was the highlight of the evening. Topped with pure durian pengat and served with fresh blueberries and strawberries, it was one of the best crème brûlées we’ve ever had. A must-try for durian lovers!

A nice and chill spot in the Katong neighbourhood, Seng House truly surprised me with its quality food. We had the Double Bacon Mash Burger and Spaghetti Al Granchio, followed by their Durian Crème Brûlée. The burger was juicy and tender, while the spaghetti was incredibly delicious — a must-try for crab lovers who enjoy a little spice. To end the meal, the crème brûlée was rich, creamy, and absolutely satisfying. We’ll definitely be back again!
