Sambal Stingray

The sambal stingray here is no longer as good as a decade ago.

Even Google reviews agree.

How do u become one of the most popular sambal stingray in Singapore, to a 2.5/5 review on Google.

The sambal here got a curry powder taste, which made it unique in a way.

Bedok 85 is also famous for their sambal stingray. Last time army book out day, the whole platoon will travel from sungei gedong camp all the way here for supper. This was sadly more than a decade ago.

Times have change, what used to be the best sambal stingray at bedok 85 is no longer.

Chomp Chomp BBQ stingray is now no.1

Maybe standards have drop for both, but Chomp chomp sambal stingray taste better now.

Sambal here still very good. The half where u scrap the meat off the bone was damn good.

The half without bone was sadly a tad drier.

Was having lunch at Taman Jurong Market, and was seated very near this BBQ seafood stall, and the aroma of their sambal, just enticed me to come over to order even though I just finished by lunch.

The sambal was damn delicious, the stingray was fresh and tender, meat slide of the bones so easily.

Must return again for their other seafood dishes.

Only open for lunch on weekends.

Stingray here is fresh and the sambal is damn shiok.

Generous serving of Sambal.

The sambal stingray was rather good. The sambal chilli was flavourful and truly the reason why everyone still comes back despite the price point.

Stingray was fresh. And the meats slides off when picked with my fork.

This is indeed the $18 large portion. I wonder what the small portion looks like.

Even the sambal portion damn little.

A video of this place on Social Media captured my attention, being such a sucker for Sambal Stingray, I had to come here to try it.

Le 樂 Restaurant seems like a place that only recently opened and is located at Tampines Ave 4, which is quite a bustling place late at night, with lots of food options.

1) Sambal Stingray @$15/$18
- Had the $18 portion, the Sambal overflow, Stingray was slightly marinated before cooking, Stingray was fresh. Really not bad.

2) Signature La La Soup @$15
- Generous amount of LaLa, soup was tasty and have that Chinese wine taste. LaLa was fresh, but the soup was just great man

3) Sambal Kangkong @$10(Small)
- Malaysia Style sambal kangkong, a little on the sweeter side of things. Tasted halal, becoz don't have that Pork Lard taste. And $10 for vegetable dish, a bit ex, $8 would have been a better price.

Medium @$30 !!!!!!

Price increased, machiam restaurant price already.

But why I still eat? Their sambal stingray still damn good la, no choice. Their sambal also damn spicy, flavourful & Shiok.

Still will come back, but not so often liao.

Michelin level food galore at this new hawker centre. The first hawker centre in Punggol. What a long wait to finally have our own hawker centre here at Punggol.

And one of the stores here is a zhi char store called "The Usual Place", this store is in collaboration with Jiao Cai Seafood, which was recently awarded Michelin Plate this year.

Came here just after 7.30pm on its 2nd day of opening, so many Punggolians like me still lining up to try the food here.

Decided to have zhi char here as I saw lots of tables having their hotplate sambal stingray. Waiting time was 45mins.

No matter what, definitely have to eat this. When it arrived at our table, the aroma of the sambal and onions was almost cough-inducing, but it smells so nice.

The stingray was fresh, soft and tender. Skin has a slight crisps to it. The sambal was of a generous amount, and tasted very good.

Another easy 5/5 for me.

Finally a sambal stingray here in Punggol.

Banana leaf BBQ Seafood is located at the Kopitiam nearest to Gantral Mall.

Have been eating this since my secondary school days, back in the early 2000s.

Seafood here has generally been very fresh and the sambal here is also quite good.

Sambal stingray is definitely one of their best and also my favourite dish here. Fresh and portion is quite big when u compare their price with other BBQ seafood place.

Generous amount of sambal. And very cheap also.

Sambal stingray+ kangkong+ 1 rice : $16.60

The uncle and auntie at this store are also very friendly. Must eat when u are around clementi mrt station.

The last thing u expect at a teppanyaki place, is a sambal stingray. But the guys at Righteous Teppan did this quite well. The sambal was overflow, I finished the entire stingray and there was still excess. They even gave u blachan just in case u not enough sambal.

Sambal was fairly spicy with a good kick to the taste buds. Stingray was adequately fresh, it was not stale, but I definitely had fresher. The previous time I ordered through grabfood from here was quite fresh.

With lots of variety on the menu, I will definitely return for the other items with my wife.

Drinks are quite expensive here, $2.90 for a can of soft drink.

Overall 4/5

Rong guang BBQ has been around in SG for quite some time. I will frequently pass by their now-defunct Ulu pandan outlet during in the late noughties. I da pao from there a few times then.

And I recalled their seafood bbq was quite good. Later on, they even open a stall at makansutra gluttons Bay, so their standard must be quite good la.

And the most popular dish here, is the sambal stingray itself. Generous amount of sambal, which was spicy and flavourful.

Stingray was fresh, meat was soft. Some of the corners were slightly crisps.

Generous amount of onions.

Damn shiok eating this, spicy enough to induce sweat from forehead and cheeks. 🔥

I would definitely bring my wife here to eat this next time.

4.5/5

Happen to passby around 9pm and have not had dinner yet.

Charen thai was conveniently open so decided to give it a try.

Sambal was quite good. Stingray texture was a little sticky. Preferred it to be silky smooth.

The crackers a little soggy.
