Seafood

Chef Chik is such an elusive place to eat at, as it only opens from Wednesday to Saturdays only, and only around 4 hours for each of those days.

Unless u work nearby, efforts have to be made to get here to Chef Chik

Finally the chance arrived for me to finally eat here, and I had to go for the best dish, which was the Steamed Threadfish Belly.

Firstly, the fish was so damn fresh, some of the slices were with jellylicious meats, and some were with soft tender meat. So damn fresh. Just watch out for the bones.

And the sauce was so damn good, it was garlicky, it was spicy, it was flavourful.

Truly 5 🌟 for this dish.

The other menu items also look damn good, till next time.

Zai Shun Curry Fish Head is Michelin Guide Restaurant for their curry fish head. I had their curry fish head for takeaway before, and it was nothing fantastic.

But what they are truly famous for, and what u can see being eaten at almost every table, is their HK style steamed fish.

Theres already a long queue forming way before lunch time, at around 11am. Once our turn was reached, we were brought to the side to choose the fish that we wanted to eat and what style we wanted to cook it in.

Their HK style sauce that we chosen was flawless, and as usual, the fish was damn fresh, with a tofu like texture that just breaks apart so easily.

This dish is a must have here at Zai Shun.

When I ordered this, I had no idea what I was in for. I saw it on the menu and I just ordered Coz it looked good.

The sauce was like a type of bean paste, with lots of park lard and spring onions. Tasted very old school, like something my parents will surely like.

The fishes used here are damn fresh for sure. It's like eating fish that has tofu texture. damn fresh.

KEK is a well-known zhi char place here at Alexandra. Getting parking lots here will always be a challenge here during meal times.

Gets very packed in the restaurant as well, so make your reservations before coming down.

1) Signature Moonlight Hor Fun
- one of their signature dish, strong wok hei with thick and sticky texture due to the 2 raw eggs. A must have here

2) Sharing Platter
- Golden Pearl Roll
- Prawn roll
- Yam Basket
- You tiao with Seafood Paste
- a great platter for sharing, especially to try their signature Golden Pearl Roll & Prawn Roll.
- all crispy and tasted good. Must order item.

3) Crab Bee Hoon Soup
- Not their signature dish, but soup was flavourful and crab was fresh.

4) Claypot Liver
- a must have dish here. The best dish today, sauce was damn good and liver was not overcooked whatsoever. Just right.

5) Coffee Pork Ribs
- very distinct coffee taste. Pork Ribs were tender and the first plate to be cleared today.

6) Salted Egg Sotong
- lots of good reviews on this and rightly so, most value for money, as the sotong pieces seem to be endless. Each small piece is well coated with salted Egg.

7) Sambal Kangkong
- every zhi char dinner must have this, and the Sambal Kangkong here definitely meets my high standard.

8) Spinach with 3 kinds egg
- quite ok. Nothing really fantastic, but not the worst I ever had.

Hua Yu Wee is an old school establishment located along Upper East coast road, and has been around since the 1950s.

The restaurant itself is located inside a huge bungalow with indoors and outdoor seating. The interior had a very retro vibe.

The must have dish here at Hua Yu Wee is their chilli crab. The chilli gravy was thick and eggy, much spicer than most Chilli Crabs at other Restaurants, but damn flavourful.

Goes without saying, their chilli crab is fresh and meat just goes so well with their chilli sauce. Total Yums

Mellben will always be be go-to restaurant for crab. Hands down my favourite.

Crab here are always fresh, meaty and the sauce is great.

Female crabs are full of roe, but the claws are smaller.

Male crabs have bigger and meatier claws.

5% Discount if pay by cash.

Please make reservations before coming. Unless u want to queue and wait.

This place have since been renamed as Chick & Lobs since 2021. It serves up their signature "Steven Chicken" and Seafood.

Located in a rather Ulu place At Jalan KelULUt. Chick & Lobs is a brand under Orchid Live Seafood.

A close friend that was returning to SG for a few days saw a video of Alaskan King crab on social media on this place, so we decided to make a booking and head down.

After viewing the fish tanks full of live seafood, we decided to go for broke, Alaskan King Crab in a bag for $399.

All the seafood was fresh, the prawns, mussels were fresh.

The Alaskan King crab was obviously very fresh, having only just been picked up from the tank just minutes ago. The crab meat texture was so smooth, the meat just slides off the shell easily.

The 2 of us are Monster Eaters, and we are proud to declare that we had our fill today, after cleaning the table of this. I would recommend this bag to be shared with 4-5 person.

Highly recommended by myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this and my Friend left SG with the memory of this awesome dinner.

Not my first time here, so already expect the freshest if seafood here, and standards have not dropped. Seafood was fresh for sure. None of the seafood was overcooked, everything was cooked well.

Decided to try have the usual Woks sauce, this will never go wrong, damn good. Spicy level can adjust according to your own limits.

Service staff at Boiler have always been very friendly.

Decided to try their sauce of the month, which was laksa, it tasted ok, was missing that punch.

Service staff at Boiler have always been very friendly.

Personally feel that the Lobster goes very well with Garlic Butter sauce. Damn good for sure.

Recently opened at Margaret Market, a recently renovated place which used to house a wet market. It has now been classified as a heritage building. Used to passby this place in the late 90s as my secondary school was nearby. So this area will always house many memories for me, and this place has certainly changed alot.

Haven eaten at their Fortune Centre Outlet previously, already know their lala will be good & fresh.

1. Sambal LaLa - came around 7.30pm, they ran out of rice already. So ordered the ala carte dish without rice. The sambal was more like those chilli crab style chilli. It was spicy and flavourful and goes well with the LaLa.

2. Garlic Butter LaLa- The sauce was damn solid. Really good. Goes excellently well with the La La.

3. Authentic Clam Noodles with Chinese wine - (choice of rice/glass noodles or just soup), soup was flavourful. The only dish with staple left to order. Soup was good.
