At least 1kg of crab here. The crab meat is not as juicy as it would be if it was steamed. Couldn't really taste the yam because the shredded yam were all coated with salted egg. Felt a little heaty after eating :/ good for family sharing.
Located near the International Business Park in Boon Lay, Kimly Seafood serves up zi char dishes that are bang on flavour, and worth travelling for even if you don't work around the area — they made it onto Burpple's Hot 100 list last year! Bring along dining companions who like their food super flavourful. There are plenty of dishes to try, one of which is their signature Crispy Yam Salted Egg Crab (seasonal price). There's no need to order mantou for this one. The dry-style dish sees salted egg battered crabs paired with highly addictive deep-fried yam sticks, also coated in salted egg sauce. Tastemaker Michelle Kayla Tey also recommends the Garlic Nan Ru Pork ($13), a Hakka specialty of pork belly marinated in red fermented beancurd, deep-fried till crisp golden. It's so garlicky and moreish, you'll find it hard to stop munching! If you're in a group of four or so, order the Tai O White Bee Hoon ($20 for large), a delicate noodle dish that will offer a good contrast to the other flavour-heavy plates.
Avg Price: $20 per person

Whenever I come here, I'm prepared to down loads of water!😂 it's just so yummy that ya keep going😁 really liked those fried yam sticks, taste like chips, soooooo sinful but so addictive 😅
Finally gotten around to trying their signature dish, despite having been to Kimly a couple of times. Their famed salted egg creation is done "dry style"; while I personally prefer the zhup-py kind (creamy sauce), I quite fancy the savoury, gritty salted egg batter coating those sweet crab claws. Best part for me was the crispy yam strips, deep-fried and coated in salted egg; they were so addictive I simply couldn't stop going back for more.
