Our table of 3 went for the Wholly Bucket ($139 including two sides of our choice; serves 3-4pax) and it was such a delight! The staff literally came over clutching a bucket and proceeded to pour out the fragrant & drool worthy contents on the table lined with plastic and grease paper.
We chose their signature chilli kicap sauce and opted for fries and fried mantou for our sides. I could see why the chilli kicap is popular; it was savoury and packed a spicy punch. The two crabs were huge and fleshy and there were also big prawns and so many clams and mussels... as if that isn’t enough, there were also hotdogs, potatoes & corn drenched in all that chilli kicap goodness.
My dining companions and I had a really great meal and were already discussing about returning to try their Wholly seafood nasi lemak which comes in a huge plate for 3-4pax as well😍
This affordably priced laksa came with flower clams, mussels, half shell scallop, and a choice of bamboo lobster, prawns or crayfish.
🔸
It's a substantial bowl of laksa with enough seafood with nice tau pok to soak up the laksa gravy. My personal preference would be for the gravy to be more savoury, possibly through the use of more hae bee (dried shrimps), but I like that there's lots of coconut milk in this. I'll recommend the bowl with prawns, as there'll be several large prawns that came with it. For $10.80, this is great value.

Filled with 2 crabs 🦀 , 15 prawns 🦐 , 500g mussels, 500g clams, served with corn 🌽 , potatoes 🥔 and sausages and your choice for the 2 sides. This is recommended for 4-5 pax. But I feel this is recommended for 3-4 pax instead (because they’re too addictive!). The seafood were fresh and delicious with creamy tom yum. The tom yum sauce was appetising with a hint of spiciness. If you want an extra spicy kick for your seafood, go for the signature chilli kicap sauce. This is something different from the tom yum sauce, you get a tad of sweetness with tons of spiciness 🌶 .
Thanks justinfoodprints for the invite. .

A huge bucket of messy goodness came in a bucket before it was poured over on the table. This is enough to serve 4-5 persons, as it came with 2 crabs, 15 prawns, 500g of mussels, 500g of clams, corn, potatoe, sausages and 2 sides such as cheesy fries, sweet potato fries or fried mantou to mop up the juices.
🔸
Seafood was fresh and we enjoyed the creamy tom yum sauce as pictured. I would recommend their signature chilli kicap sauce, which is spicy with a tad of sweetness.

Salmon Nasi Lemak ($8.90)
.
$8.90 seemed like a steal for a plate of nasi lemak served at a hipster coffeeshop, especially when it serves up unusual ingredients such as salmon and baby squid. I was rather skeptical when picking my choice from the option of prawns, baby squid and a salmon fillet for my protein. I picked the most unusual option to give it a shot. The slab of salmon was rather generous and topped with a mildly spicy sambal sauce but if there’s one thing that really bothers me about salmon, it’s about overcooked salmon. @MrWholly ‘s salmon fillet was tough as a new pair of leather shoes and tasted rather dry. The served rice was also not at least lukewarm. The piece of scrambled egg resembled those found int $1.50 nasi lemak packets. The only silver lining in the dish was the abundance of crispy anchovies. For the same price, you would probably get more bang for your buck at the nearby nasi padang eateries.
Good service but the crab was not fresh. Got the 2-3 pax bucket. Got fries as side and the fries does not have much taste. Overall still an ok experience, can try!
The seafood bucket craze.
Ordered this for sharing.
Choose the chilli kicap sauce and you won't go wrong.
Yummy!
A mountain of fresh seafood, coated in a sweet, slightly spicy sauce, more than enough to stuff 3 people!
Fresh, small but plump mussels, sweet savoury in flavour, with tender roasted potatoes, caramelised onions, fragrant garlic, and corn kernels!

How about heading down to Satay By The Bay and indulge in an al-fresco dining, Louisiana seafood style? Opened by the lovely Felicia Chin, Wholly Crab serves Louisiana style seafood that is cooked and served on the table, all without burning a big hole in your wallet. My recommendation is to go for the Love Bucket ($60) in Laksa sauce. |

First time trying.. Cooked in different sauce of your choice. I had the curry sauce, served with potato, corn on cob, sausages. Tasty n juicy. Rate: 👍👍
we chose the kong bao sauce based on their recommendation.
honestly it is sucha steal at $60! you probably gotta pay much more at most of the places with similar concepts if u wanna include crab. seafood were fresh, though I found bits of sand in their clams. mussels were pretty tiny and the crab was sweet! though this is good for 2-3 pax, 2 pax can easily finish the portion.
surprisingly, kong bao sauce wasn't too spicy despite the amount of dried chillies. so non-spicy eaters should be able to take this. love it when they added our local tastebuds by having kong bao and laksa sauces!
Located at Satay by the Bay and owned by local artiste Felicia Chin, Wholly Crab is an affordable, casual seafood joint which sells and serves their seafood by the bucket. Customise your preferred fusion of Louisiana-style seafood with popular local flavours such as Kung Pow and Laksa, or go for an interesting twist like Marmite. There are two options — Love Bucket ($60) for 2-3 pax and Wholly Bucket ($120) for 5-6 pax. For add-ons, go for their signature Nori Tempura Soft Shell Crab ($12) for that added crunch!

[Satay By The Bay] The newest kid on the block to serve Louisiana style seafood, Wholly Crab, was opened in May by Mediacorp actress, Felicia Chin. Keeping the costs affordable and offering a variety of sauces such as Creamy Cheese, Marmite, KungPao, Laksa and Curry, you will be spoilt for choices. We ordered the Love Bucket ($60) which comes with a whole crab, 8 gigantic prawns, 250g mussels, 250g clams, corn on the cob, potatoes and sausages in Laksa sauce and a side of sweet potato fries. The laksa sauce is so good and seafood so fresh that I am screaming out for more.
At Satay By The Bay.
Ordered a Love Bucket ($60) of seafood, cooked in laksa sauce. We preferred the kung pao sauce though.
Boss was very amiable, going around table to table chatting with her supporters. Of course I have to get her to appear in this video.
加油！
Another newly introduced dish that adds a local touch will be the Seafood Nasi Lemak that serves a huge, chunky salmon alongside your authentic ingredients such as omelette and ikan bilis (peanuts and dried anchovies)
