Yi Jia South Village Seafood Restaurant

The salted egg crab comes in both creamy and crispy version. Not a fan of salted egg nor crabs in general, but the crispy version was not bad! Reminded me of cereal prawns. Didn’t really like the creamy version though. The sauce was a little too rich on the egginess for me.

I loved this because there was no porky stench at all. The meat, though could have been more tender, was super well-marinated and flavourful. Each bite was just bursting with a combination of sweet, salty and spicy. Even after i was done with the meat, i couldn’t help but continue sucking on the bones LOL

Loved the silky smooth tofu which had a crisp and not too thick skin coated well by a layer of viscous, yummy sweet sauce. Paired well with the saltiness of the chopped radish which also added some crunch to the dish. Would pair super well with some fluffy white rice!

The soup was sweet and flavourful, carrying a rather strong comforting herbal fragrance, much like that of coriander. I was surprised by the generosity of ingredients in the soup. Even after everyone had helped themselves to quite abit of chicken and the soup was almost all gone, there was still lots of chicken pieces left in the bowl. Good for sharing with a big group

Was told that this was the most popular dish and i can clearly tell why! The tangle of greens had a texture of crisp seaweed and reminded me also of salted kale. A super addictive dish that you must order, even if you’re not a fan of vegetables

They definitely don’t skimp on the ingredients here! There was so much seafood contained within the gigantic pumpkin, such as scallops, fish maw and clams. The broth was thick and full of the natural sweetness of the seafood and pumpkin.

Oh yes, do remember to not let the pumpkin not go to waste. It itself requires 20minutes to steam until the flesh is perfectly soft and tender
