One of the best Louisiana seafood restaurants in Singapore, Dancing Crab by TungLok Group is no stranger to us.

With an extensive menu and a huge range of seafood with guaranteed freshness, Dancing Crab is a perennial favourite and a family-friendly restaurant that is suitable for all sorts of occasions and celebrations.

Just when you need another reason to visit them again, we have good news for you – Dancing Crab is introducing a new lunch set menu with prices starting from S$11.90++. We’re in for this pocket-friendly deal, and so should you!

Let’s begin with their classics for they cannot be forgotten.

Get your hands dirty and messy with the Live Crab Combo (S$98++) that comes with 6 different sauces for you to choose from – Signature Cajun, Beurre Blanc, Salted Egg Yolk Butter Cream, Black Pepper, Zesty Garlic Butter and Chilli Crab.

Crack open the crab shells to bite into the plump and juicy pincers; so fresh that you can taste the natural sweetness! Together in the bag are sweet clams, prawns, corn and the slightly spicy chicken sausage for a hearty combination of flavours.   

Black Pepper Crab (S$112++) is a well-loved dish amongst us Singaporeans and Dancing Crab has their own rendition of it! Get a mild kick of spice from the pepper and sweetness from the corn served along with the crabs.

This dish is definitely good for sharing between 3 to 5 pax. For S$112++, you get two big crabs of approximately 700g each.

The Moonshine Vodka Live Prawn (S$38++ for 500g, S$68++ for 1kg) is a fire show that is served table-side. Upon peeling the fresh prawns in your mouth, be prepared for a burst of vodka to hit you on your tongue that will awaken your senses.

Dip the prawns into the garlic chilli sauce to give it an extra punch that creates a great harmony of sweet and spicy.

A side dish to love is the Crab Cake (S$18.50++) and it is something we can never get sick of no matter how many times we’ve had it. Beneath the crunchy batter are hearty lumps of soft and flavourful crab meat.

It is creamy, savoury and especially scrumptious when paired with the ranch sauce served on the side.

You don’t have to travel to Ireland, France, Canada or Australia for fresh and plump oysters; you can find the best in the season from all over the world over at Dancing Crab.

Perfect as an appetiser before digging into the other saucy seafood dishes, make sure to squeeze the lemon generously over the oysters for some toothsome goodness.

The Duck, Waffle and Egg (S$22++) is a serving of duck confit alongside four quarters of fluffy waffles. You will love the crispy and flavourful duck skin! To complement the duck, pair it with the Salted Egg Yolk Sauce and drizzle it all over for a sweet and salty experience.

INTRODUCING THE NEW DANCING CRAB LUNCH SETS

With nothing over S$18.90++, you can indulge in seafood goodness without burning up a hole in your pocket.

Here are some exciting new set lunches that Dancing Crab will be offering.

First up, we have the Lobster Roll that is served with a side of Poached Rice in Lobster Bisque Soup (S$18.90++).

The lobster roll is your classic succulent lobster flesh stuffed in really good buttery toasted brioche buns; an absolute joy to have, we must say. And we really enjoyed the flavourful broth of the Poached Rice in Lobster Bisque Soup and could not stop reaching for more!

The Grilled Chicken Chop served with Beurre Blanc Sauce and Beignet on the side (S$11.90++) was a surprisingly delicious dish that we enjoyed very much albeit it not being a seafood dish.

The Beurre Blanc Sauce was so creamy and flavourful, there were crab meat shreds in it that added some textures and complemented the grilled chicken thigh so well.

Pasta la vista, baby! We would gladly sacrifice our no-carbs streak for this plate of Grilled Kuhlbarra Barramundi Fillet topped with Cajun Sambal Sauce, served alongside Tomato Linguine (S$14.90++).

The barramundi fillet was crispy on the outside with a firm texture on the inside, the pasta beautifully al dente, and when put together with the Cajun Sambal Sauce, it was really a great lunch dish.

Well-known for their excellent execution of local Singaporean fare, Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road is back with a new weekend buffet line-up, aptly named Ocean’s Treasures, showcasing an impressive selection of fresh crabs, lobsters and other nostalgic dishes we know and love.

Seafood lovers will be completely satisfied and rewarded with the incredible new spread that is offered here. Introducing Ocean’s Treasures, this buffet range will run from now until 28 July 2019.

This luxurious spread presents an expansive selection of crustacean and other seafood to satisfy every seafood craving. Look forward to local favourites such as the beloved Singapore Chilli Crab, as well as drool-worthy Herbal Claypot Crab and crispy golden-brown Cereal Crab.

If you love seafood and are craving some local delights, Ocean’s Treasures buffet at Ginger will be sure to tantalise your taste buds. To make your feasting a little more enjoyable, quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy a 25% off from now until 28 July 2019!

CLASSIC SEAFOOD ON ICE

There is a saying that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and it holds true when it comes to Ginger’s line-up of mussels, clams, tiger prawns and crab legs.

The Snow Crab Legs we had were incredibly easy to crack open, so diners won’t have to spend ages searching for meat in every crevice. Digging into the tender flesh can be likened to being kissed by the ocean, that is just how fresh the meat was!

Simply add a spritz of lemon and you can enjoy the taste of the freshest seafood Ginger has to offer. Sweet, simple and yet oh-so-satisfying.

SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB WITH DEEP FRIED MANTOU

Chilli Crab is a perennial favourite at every buffet table. With its rich, sweet and tangy gravy, it is perfect to have with Deep Fried Mantou which you can use to soak up the sauce; the crispy exterior and pillowy soft interior makes is every Singaporeans’ Achilles’ heel.

Filled with plenty of eggs to make the gravy extra luscious and thick, the savoury and spicy taste brings out the fresh flavours of the crab.

CEREAL CRAB

For something with a subtler flavour, try Ginger’s rendition of Cereal Crab. The cereal flakes lightly coat the succulent crabs, giving the sweet meat a chance to shine through. The sweet toasted flavour of the cereal serves as the perfect background to the fresh flavour of the crab.

Crab flavours are rotational here, so depending on when you visit, you may get to savour other classics like Black Pepper Crabs and Salted Egg Crabs.

HERBAL CLAYPOT CRAB

Steeped in a clay pot that is filled with an earthy broth infused with the goodness of locally-sourced herbs, the Herbal Claypot Crab can be ordered from the chefs at the live station.

Diners who are looking for a healthier option but still want to indulge in the seafood galore should dive into this crab rendition for the juicy and succulent meat while slurping up the scrumptious broth.

BABY LOBSTER IN SAMBAL WITH PETAI

Known as the “bitter bean” or “stink bean”, the petai had an interesting taste that may spark debate on the table.

For spice lovers, Ginger has got you covered with their sambal baby lobster dish, made with petai. The more you eat it, the more it grows on you. These babies are tossed in Ginger’s special sambal that gives both flavour and an addictive heat. The lobster meat is tender and goes well with the spice impeccably well.

GRILLED RIVER PRAWNS

Also available at the barbeque live station are the Grilled River Prawns that are lightly grilled with just the right amount of char to it. These river prawns are juicy and sweet while the creaminess encased in the head of the shells adds an extra savoury oomph to it.

Grab a bowl of the Thai sauce for an extra spicy kick.

BAKED SALMON

Pairing a cult favourite flavour of salted egg with the fatty goodness of salmon, the Baked Salmon promises to take diners on a wonderful gourmet adventure.

Topped with a generous helping of crunchy pieces of fish skin, it is without a doubt that the Baked Salmon will be a hit and one that will leave you salivating for more with its varying textures and flavours.

CARVERY AND MEATS

The Shawarma is served at the carving station with a live rotisserie. It is a tantalising sight as the shawarma is carved right in front of your eyes and you can see the juices drip from the roasted meat.

Ginger’s spin on the classic Peranakan dish, Babi Pongteh, is made from braised pork belly with fermented soybeans. Fork-tender with a significant depth of flavour to the dish from the soyabeans, the Asian in us really enjoyed this simple but hearty dish.

Our favourite of all the non-seafood meats was the Coffee Pork Ribs. A local favourite at several zichar spots, these ribs are uniquely flavoured with a sweet-sticky coffee glaze. There was just something special about the lingering bitterness of the sauce that made us keep digging into this dish.

FAMILIAR LOCAL DELIGHTS

Ginger also has a plethora of local dishes that will make the true-blue Singaporean in you very happy. Take a trip down memory lane and savour dishes such as Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, Kueh Pie Tee, Singapore Laksa and even a DIY Rojak Station.

The laksa really stood out to us, having a thick and flavourful broth with a bit of a spicy kick to balance the sweetness of the coconut milk. Feel free to add as many toppings you want from their array of classic laksa ingredients (think fishcakes, quail eggs and shrimp).

SWEET TREATS YOU’LL LOVE

Unlike most buffet dessert spreads, Ginger focuses on bringing local flavours to the table. Look forward to an extensive range of various nyonya kueh, ranging from every child’s favourite Lapis Sago to the pretty blue Pulut Tai Tai.

Alongside the local desserts is a range of petite cakes and pastries including a Strawberry Yogurt Cake, Blueberry Crumble and a creamy Durian Cake.

With over 70 outlets across the world, The Manhattan FISH MARKET certainly needs no further introduction in Singapore. This casual seafood restaurant chain is not one to disappoint when it comes to mouthwatering American-style seafood dishes at very affordable prices.

Drawing inspiration from the reputable Fulton Fish Market which was once located below the Brooklyn Bridge, The Manhattan FISH MARKET serves lip-smacking American-style seafood comprising of dishes prepared in five different ways of cooking—flamed, baked, poached, grilled and fried. Yes, we are huge fans of their ever-popular flaming platters and the famous Manhattan Fish n’ Chips.

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, The Manhattan FISH MARKET is joining in the festive celebrations with four new Prosperity Treats from now until 28 Feb 2018 and prices start as low as S$8.80! Whoever said that a scrumptious seafood feast with your family and loved ones have to be an expensive affair?

THE MANHATTAN FISH MARKET PROSPERITY TREATS

The all-new Prosperity Treats menu is showcasing four splendid seafood dishes—Prosperity Fortune, Prosperity Treasure, Prosperity Abundance and Prosperity Luck. Whether you have a penchant for spicy, cheesy or garlicky food, The Manhattan FISH MARKET has got you covered.

PROSPERITY FORTUNE

The Prosperity Fortune (S$17.80++) comprises a grilled chicken thigh or grilled beef patty of your choice that is topped off with a generous dose of chipotle onion and melted cheddar cheese, tangy grilled salmon, Zoodles (which is essentially fresh zucchini slices presented in aglio olio style), grilled tiger prawn with remoulade sauce and hot veggies.

Taking center stage is the addictive grilled beef patty that came with a slight char-grilled exterior and tender insides that were bursting with savoury beef juices upon sinking our teeth into it. Imagine a mouthful of hot-off-the-grill beef patty with tangy chipotle onion and melted cheddar cheese sauce; that is heaven in a bite.

Besides that, the grilled tiger prawn also stood out with its creamy and spicy remouladesauce.

PROSPERITY TREASURE

Nobody leaves The Manhattan FISH MARKET without some fish and chips and we highly recommend the Prosperity Treasure (S$16.80).

You can choose between the grilled chicken thigh and grilled beef patty topped with chipotle onion and melted cheese to go with the hand battered dory fish fillet, topped with fried prawn skewers, crispy chips and a side of sautéed zucchini and capsicum.

Instead of the usual garlic herb sauce, the Prosperity Treasure’s fish fillet came with full-flavoured remoulade sauce that complemented well with the distinctly sweet taste of the dory fish.

PROSPERITY ABUNDANCE

The Prosperity Abundance (S$14.80) comes with grilled chicken thigh or grilled beef patty topped with Chipotle onion and melted cheddar cheese, Zoodles aglio olio, a side of carrots and broccoli, lemon garlic clams and topped with crispy fried battered tiger prawn.

While the clams may appear insignificant beside the more attractive-looking sides such as the succulent tiger prawn and beef patty, it deserves an honorary mention. Embellished with the right amount of minced garlic bits, the chefs also added in a dose of lemon juice to heighten the clams’ natural juices.

PROSPERITY LUCK

Knowing just how much Asians love their carbs, The Manhattan FISH MARKET is also introducing the Prosperity Luck (S$8.80++) this Chinese New Year, and ours came with a sizeable portion of garlic herb rice, poached mussels and clams in piquant Asian stock, grilled dory fillet, sunny side-up egg and sautéed zucchini and capsicum.

If you are craving for a scrumptious crab meal without wanting to pay for expensive seasonal prices, then the new Kenny’s Krabbi down at The Venue Shoppes is the place you must visit. It specialises in a wide variety of zi char favourites and crab dishes such as crab porridge, crab bee hoon and Singapore chilli crab.

Helmed by Kenny Ng, this is the chef-owner’s second venture into the F&B industry after several years of experience as a banquet sous chef at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.

This restaurant is all that you need to satisfy your crab cravings and what’s more, all their prices for crabs are fixed regardless of the season!

Lovers of crab bee hoon will surely seek comfort in their Rich Broth Crab Bee Hoon 600g Crab (Half – S$20, Whole – S$38). The crab pieces are first tossed around in a fragrant broth so as to further intensify it and the noodles are added in during the last few seconds so it retains a nice chew.

For S$20, what you get is a huge bowl of noodles and crabs that will easily feed two people which is a pretty good deal considering that the same dish elsewhere would cost you much more.

For solo diners, one option we would highly recommend is the Deep-Fried Fish Head Soup (S$6.90). The combination of sweet and savoury tones is a result of boiling the broth for over six hours so diners can expect nothing less but rich, intense fish stock.

The fish head pieces were deep-fried to a glorious shade of golden brown and there was a fantastic texture contrast between the crispy fish and smooth thick noodles.

A good accompaniment to your meal is the Hong Kong Kai Lan with Garlic Oyster Sauce (S$4.90). Stir-fried in the open kitchen upon order, ours had a nice smooth glossy sheen from the oyster sauce that was lathered on top of the crunchy vegetables.

Beyond what we have tried, Kenny’s Krabbi also have other seafood alternatives such as Rich Broth Crab Porridge 800g Crab (Half – S$32, Whole – S$60), Singapore Chilli Crab (600g – S$46, 800g – S$68) and Red Garoupa Sliced Soup (S$13).

This unique moniker—Captain. K—can be interpreted in two ways. You can analyse it as K for anything Korean or K for Kenneth, the down-to-earth former Marine Chief Engineer turned F&B owner of this speciality seafood eatery.

Fit for all sorts of communal gatherings, corporate events and special occasions, the ambience of Captain K is rather cosy with the ever-ready staff always at hand to tend to your needs and requests.

Everyone knows Captain K for its multi-tiered Seafood Tower and you bet we love that too. But the humble eating—famed for its extremely fresh seafood—is introducing hotpot in its menu at its Middle Road outlet on 01 November 2017 and the prices are very reasonable for the quality!

Now you have more options for communal dining at Captain K Seafood Tower. We share with you our favourites from the hotpot menu, as well as everything we love about its signature 9-tier Fresh Seafood Tower.

Supper goers will be delighted to know that Captain K’s Middle Road outlet opens until 4am every day, making it the perfect supper spot in town.

PS. For the month of November 2017, simply quote ‘Ladyironchef upon making your reservation to enjoy a whopping 30% off Captain K’s hotpot and an even better 40% for orders after 10pm—valid all day, every day. This promotion is not valid for soup bases as well as seafood.

Come 01 Nov 2017, Captain. K will introduce its exclusive hotpot, giving you even more variety now. After narrowing down your two soup bases (Kombu Dashi is the sixth available option), take your pick from a slew of over 97 steamboat ingredients that feature dumplings, homemade balls, signature pastes and of course the premium seafood list.

Soup bases are priced at one for S$16 and two for S$20, with a supplement of S$4 if either of your option includes Ginseng Chicken.

Half and full portions are available so that you do not over-order (or under order). The exhaustive list of ingredients sure drove us crazy! We were hooked on the Fried Beancurd Roll (S$4/half, S$8/full) that gave a lovely crisp—but the tip is to only dip it into the bubbling soup for 3 seconds. It was really addictive, to say the least!

The abalone (S$15/half, $30/full) was also stellar along with the Red Garoupa (seasonal price) that captured the essence of the hearty broth infused in its soft, flaky white meat.

For all the carnivores out there, let the tender Sliced Lamb (S$8/half, S$16/full) and the US Wagyu Beef Chuck Roll (S$12/half, S$24/full) leave you grinning from ear to ear. There is also a stellar variety of pork but we say you go straight for the US Kurobuta Pork Belly Shabu (S$7/half, S$14/full).

And the meat party doesn’t stop there. You must try Captain K’s Homemade Balls. Every meatball is huge and substantial, making it more filling than it looks. There is the Assorted Meat Balls Combo (S$11) for those who want the best of all worlds. We absolutely enjoyed the Beef Meat Ball (S$5/half, S$10/full)!

There is a range of Homemade Paste too; from Ebiko Prawn Paste (S$16) to our favourite Century Egg Fish Paste (S$10).

Captain. K certainly does not compromise on the quality of their seafood and meat; we were thoroughly impressed with our meal, to say the least.

A fuss-free seafood extravaganza awaits at Captain K and it is a location that is suitable for all occasions, be it for parties or a family dinner. As crowds peak during dinner, be sure to swiftly make reservations for your gastronomic seafood delight.

For the entire month of November 2017, quote ‘Ladyironchef’ upon making your reservations to enjoy a 30% discount off your hotpot meal, and a whopping 40% if you dine after 10pm. This promotion is not valid for soup bases as well as seafood.

The famed nine-tier Captain K Seafood Tower has indeed taken the food scene in Singapore by storm. Comprising nine staggering steamer trays stacked atop each other, each level is steamed to absolute perfection all thanks to a treasure trove of natural seafood juices and briny tang, in combination with the simmering hearty broth at the base.

From mussels, scallops, clams, crawfish, oysters, prawns, squid and Chilean King Crab, the key to what sets this seafood eatery apart lies in Captain K getting the freshest seafood from its suppliers at Senoko Fishery Port daily. Do note that the variety of seafood may vary according to the catch of the day.

You can choose from 5 distinct soup bases that best cater to your palate: Korean Kimchi, Tomato, Sze Chuan Mala, Tomyam Mushroom and Ginseng Chicken. All are priced at S$12 each except for Ginseng Chicken (S$18) with glutinous rice stuffing that represents a premium selection.

We highly recommend the made-from-scratch Tomato option for a novel yet tantalising experience. We were sceptical initially but realized that the soup boasts surreal hints of sweetness, which perfectly counters the strong tanginess that stems from the bold tomato flavour.

Highlights of the Captain K Seafood Tower (S$328.90) includes the luscious Prawns that are plump and sweet.

The oysters also lean away from the usual briny taste and offer a memorably sweet yet light flavour. We were pleasantly surprised by this!

However, the showstopper goes unanimously to the Chilean King Crab. The succulent pieces of crab meat are unparalleled and the taste is elevated when you pair it with the homemade Thai Mookata dip.

Whether you show up as a party of two or intend to have a mass family reunion, there is a tier for everyone. A three-tier option (S$59.90) with clams, mussels, prawns, oysters and scallops all in the crustacean mix is ideal for a pair.

If you upgrade to a five-tier tower (S$118.90), you get tiger prawns in addition to the three-tier seafood selection. The portion increases proportionally as well. Go jumbo with the seven-tier tower (S$198.90) and enjoy a serving of squid along with all the other aforementioned seafood.

Once you have massacred the tower and reached the soup base, you can also choose from an array of ingredients to add to your flavour-packed soup. The plates are colour-coded starting from S$2 for the yellow plate all the way to S$8 for the deluxe black plate.

And guys, can we just repeat how much we enjoyed the premium nine-tier tower? The price may sound shocking at first but if you go work out the sums and split it among eight people (because it is good for eight), you’d realize that you are getting a lot of value and premium seafood for the price you are paying. Just gather your best friends and go for an epic seafood party!

This post is brought to you by Captain K Seafood Tower.

One thing that all foodies can agree on is that we are constantly on a see-food diet and there is no stopping us when a feast of tantalising seafood is laid before us. The joy of getting down and dirty with crabs, mussels and prawns is so appealing and should this experience come at an affordable price tag, what is there not to love?

Located on Level 3 at the new extension of Plaza Singapura, Cajun On Wheels is a Halal-certified seafood diner serving unadulterated and fresh seafood in true American fashion. This is their second outlet—after their first food truck at Pasarbella Suntec City—and you would be delighted to know that their menu at Plaza Singapura is exclusive to that outlet too.

As its name says, Cajun On Wheels is a Cajun-themed diner and you can expect all dishes on its menu to pack a punch.

A UNIQUE DINING EXPERIENCE

As our mantra goes, why settle for less when you can have more?

An unconventional dining experience awaits at Cajun On Wheels, where you can order your food from a gourmet food truck. This translates to a fuss-free dining experience that is good for both solo diners and group gatherings.

MENU EXCLUSIVE TO PLAZA SINGAPURA

In contrast to their first outlet at Pasarbella, Cajun On Wheels at Plaza Singapura has taken things up a notch by with the addition of succulent beef burgers and platters for sharing to its menu.

And this month, this Louisana seafood restaurant will be introducing a few new seafood dishes. Excited? Yes, you should be.

FEAST WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Indulging in seafood is not the same if you don’t get your hands dirty in the process of ripping out fresh and juicy meat from the seafood galore before you.

Head down to Cajun On Wheels with your family and friends and partake in their incredible selection of seafood buckets that are great for sharing. Here is a little glimpse of what you can enjoy. 

POSEIDON BUCKET

You either go big or go home. Serious seafood lovers searching for big and bold flavours should begin your meal with the Poseidon Bucket (S$115) that would be good for sharing among 2 to 3 persons.

And we are pleased to tell you that the Poseidon Bucket (S$115) lived up to its hype. Comprising Sri Lanka Crab 600g, Prawns 300g, White Clams 300g, Mussels 300g, Sweet Corn, Potatoes and Chicken Spam, this is surely one value-for-money bucket that we thoroughly enjoyed. 

A tip from us is to pour out the Poseidon Bucket onto the table before you. Not only will it be a party in your mouth, it will be visually arresting as well. We enjoyed ours with Spicy Cheesy Soil.

Did you know that Cajun On Wheels only uses live crabs in its seafood dishes so as to retain the maximum freshness of each crab? This is how you know you are getting what you paid for. 

THE NAUGHTY PLATTER

The Naughty Platter (S$33.90) is another dish that is great for sharing. But if you are hungry (or naughty) enough, we trust that you could probably have the whole thing yourself.

The Naughty Platter comes with deep-fried squid, sea bass, tiger prawns and a choice of pilaf rice or aglio olio pasta.

THE INCRAWDIBLES

Now, let us present to you Cajun On Wheels’ latest addition to their menu—The Incrawdibles (S$42 for 500g, S$79 for 1kg). When we first laid eyes on the bucket, we were impressed by the sheer portion of crawfish that was served.

Like the Poseidon Bucket, unleash your inner beast as you feast over the red spectacle laid before you. The Old Bay Seasoning may look spicy but it is not. Its taste bore more resemblance to a slightly tangy tomato sauce immersed with a variety of western herbs. Delicious, in every sense.

FEAST BY YOURSELF

Even if your family or friends are not up to some seafood feasting, there is nothing to stop you from doing so. Cajun On Wheels offers various ocean boxes for individuals to eat like a king.

FISH AND TORPEDO PRAWN OCEAN BOX

The Fish and Torpedo Prawn Ocean Box (S$10.90 for a la carte; S$12.90 for a set) is one ocean box that allows diners to customise their own box and create their own seafood fantasy.

All you have to do is choose a seafood, a side (fries, sweet potato fries, purple coleslaw, corn, aglio olio or rice pilaf), and a sauce from Cajun On Wheels’ selection and you will be good to go.

SEA BASS FISH ROLL

Another new face to Cajun On Wheels’ menu at Plaza Singapura is the Fish Roll (S$13.90) which comes with a side of sweet potato fries.

Dished out with herb and butter sauce over the fish, the Sea Bass Fish Roll would be suitable for smaller eaters who don’t want to miss out on the quality of seafood that Cajun On Wheels has to offer.

CRUSTY C.O.W. BURGER LOBSTER & BEEF

As we mentioned earlier, Cajun On Wheels has added succulent beef burgers to their menu at Plaza Singapura and one burger to try is the Crusty C.O.W. Burger Lobster & Beef (S$39.90).

On top of coming with a 100% premium beef patty, the Crusty C.O.W. Burger Lobster & Beef also consists of half a lobster which makes this dining option worth every dollar. A ladle of butter herb sauce is layered over the fresh and juicy lobster and it made this dish so worth the indulgence.

Diners can also top up an additional S$3.90 to complete their burger with 1 drink and 1 side (Cajun fries, sweet potato fries or purple coleslaw) of their choice.

FULL SAMPLING OF ALL SIX SAUCES

For those of you who crave a little more flavour in your meal, why not top-up for one of Cajun On Wheels’ sauces? A total of 6 sauces are available for your picking, and this includes Singapore Chilli Egg (S$3), Chilli Crab (S$3), Salted Egg Yolk (S$3), Thai Red Curry (S$2), Butter and Herb (S$2) and Spicy Cheese Soil (S$2).

But our favourites of the lot have to be the Salted Egg Yolk and the Spicy Cheese Soil. The former was so creamy and rich but with the right amount of spiciness due to the incorporation of fried curry leaves and chilli padi. The latter was similarly as rewarding as its velvety texture and herb and spice flavours brought another dimension of flavours to the palate.

Upholding its reputation as one of the best Louisiana restaurants in Singapore, one can expect only the best of Louisianan seafood to be served on their dining tables at Dancing Crab by TungLok Group. Those who have been to the restaurant would know that a meal there is life changing and the dining experience redefines perspectives of how seafood should be enjoyed.

Dancing Crab has done away with the usual tableware so that diners are able to enjoy their food freely using bare hands. That’s right, the casual restaurant is like a home away from home but much better with scrumptious country-style Cajun seafood, a boisterous atmosphere and creative alcoholic beverages.

We are very excited to share that Dancing Crab has unveiled an updated menu featuring new dishes that come with prices that won’t shock you. Needless to say, signature dishes such as their Dancing Crab Combo Bags are here to stay as well.

Are you ready to find out what Dancing Crab has to offer? You’d be sorry if you do not read on.

DANCING CRAB SIGNATURE SEAFOOD COMBO BAGS

Those who have been to the restaurant would know that the best memories at Dancing Crab are forged when groups share the Signature Combo Bags. There is no need to be shy when you are indulging in the seafood boils.

Go ahead and reach out for that juicy crab pincer, slurp some mussels or whatever you fancy that day. Don’t be afraid to get messy because that is the idea actually; it is all part of the fun!

Dancing Crab Chili Crab Served With Country Bread (S$88++) is a crowd-pleaser and it is not hard to see why. Served fashionably in a handcrafted bread bowl, this dish is more than just a visual feast for your eyes. We recommend dipping the tender crab meat into the thick and savoury chili crab sauce.

You can never go wrong with Dancing Crab Black Pepper Crab (S$88++) as well. This is a perennial Chinese favourite and we love the robust peppery spice that enhances the freshness of the seafood.

Creamy Pepper is a flavour that is exclusive to Dancing Crab @ VivoCity, so make sure you go for this flavour when you order your combo bags at VivoCity’s outlet. In comparison with the rest, this light and creamy sauce will strike a good balance on your palate after the usual heavy sauces.

Other combos that will delight all shellfish affectionados are Crawfish Combo (S$75++) and Dungeness Crab Combo (seasonal price) With Miso Butter. Do note that the Miso Butter sauce is exclusive to Dancing Crab @ Orchard Central.

The Crawfish Combo features 600g of crawfish, 350g of prawns, clams, corn and sausages; while Dungeness Crab Combo is filled with 1 large Dungeness Crab, 350g of prawns, clams, corn and sausages.

APPETISERS

Dancing Crab may be known for their signature combo selections but you should never skip the appetisers on the menu.

For salads, we loved the Crab and Shrimp Ceviche Salad (lunch – S$12++, dinner – S$15++) and Cajun Sweet Potato Salad (lunch – S$12++. dinner – S$15++). The former is a delightful plate of leafy greens with fresh shrimps and tender crab meat while the latter boasts crispy deep-fried sweet potatoes lying atop crunchy green vegetables.

If you are looking for something comforting, Crabby Corn Chowder (lunch – S$8++, dinner – S$10++) is what you have to order.

DANCING CRAB CLASSICS

You probably wouldn’t think of anything non-seafood when at Dancing Crab, but we are telling you the Chicken and Waffles (S$15++) is the bomb. The deep-fried chicken is ever insanely addictive—crispy golden brown chicken skin that crumbles when you bite into it, unveiling tender white chicken meat beneath. On top of that, you also get warm waffles that go really well with sweet honey and cream.

Nothing screams party food like Crab Nachos (S$12++). The portion of nachos is generous, making it great for sharing and is best paired with cold booze. Other Dancing Crab Classics to look out for include Popcorn Shrimp Po’ Boy (S$15++) and Lobster Roll (S$29.90++).

SINGLE PLATES

Thinking of dropping by for a quick meal during lunch? Dancing Crab has got that covered with their rice and pasta dishes which come in a wide array of flavours.

Pasta “Goreng” (lunch – S$12++, dinner – S$15++) is a mee goreng inspired dish. The fried noodles are replaced with traditional spaghetti and we applaud the chef’s creativity in infusing local spices together with the pasta and seafood ingredients.

Fans of Aglio Olio should not skip Dancing Crab’s Seafood Aglio Olio (lunch – S$12, dinner S$15++)—what you get is a plate of warm, buttery pasta with fresh seafood such as prawn, clams, mussels and calamari.

Originating from coastal South Carolina and Georgia, Shrimp and Grits (lunch – S$15++, dinner – S$17++) is an iconic Southern dish. While it looks like a simple recipe, the rich and creamy grit received many praises from all of us at the table.

FROZEN BEER IN SEVEN FLAVOURS

Nothing goes better with seafood than a mug of ice-cold beer. But why stop at one when you can have seven different flavours?!

Options include French Vanilla, Mango, Lychee, Watermelon, Wild-berry, Bubblegum for the adventurous and Plain for those who simply prefer the classic taste of beer. Mix and match any four flavours for S$32++.

MASSIVE ICE CREAM SUNDAE TO END YOUR MEAL WITH A BANG

The kid in us was screaming in delight when we saw this massive ice cream sundae which can easily feed more than 5 people!

Layers upon layers of ice cream, marshmallow and strawberries are piled on top of each other to build this outrageous ice cream sundae. That is not all—it is then topped off with more ice cream cones, waffles, creamy whipped cream and strawberries.

Sitting on the City Hall Rooftop of our beloved National Gallery is Yàn, a stunning restaurant that offers elevated and luxurious authentic Cantonese cuisine served in modern day presentations. The elegant restaurant boasts a modern setting and intimate seating. Yàn also has private rooms which are ideal for hosting private sessions and to celebrate occasions.

Having loved what Yàn had to offer before, we set our bar high on our most recent visit. We were lucky enough to try several different seasonal seafood, each cooked in its own special way. Something to appreciate about the fresh seafood at Yàn is that you get to choose your preferred cooking method(s).

Have it steamed with Chinese wine a la the traditional way or go for something a little more unique like deep-fried with white wine sauce; your pick, your way. And now, we need to share with you more about our memorable lunch when we luxuriated with premium seafood in this gem of a restaurant.

STEAMED ALASKAN KING CRAB WITH CHINESE WINE AND EGG WHITE

We thanked our lucky stars when we saw the massive Alaskan King Crab (S$20++/100g, min. 2kg) in front of our eyes. Weighing about 4kg, our crab was massive. It is ideal for large groups because of its colossal size.

Alaskan King Crab is in season and we got the freshest catch, still alive minutes before it was cooked and served to us.

Yàn’s Master Chef Chan highly recommends to cook it with a combination of egg and Chinese wine. The crab is surrounded by the steamed egg that has been flavoured with the Chinese wine. With this style of cooking, the flesh turned out to be extremely sweet, juicy and oh-so-soft! Nothing can beat seafood that is simply steamed because you get to taste the undisturbed genuine flavours.

The fragrance of the Chinese wine was also very prominent and complementary to the sweet flesh of the crab.

STEAMED BAMBOO CLAMS WITH CHEF’S SPECIAL SOY SAUCE

These Bamboo Clams (S$14/piece) from Scotland were so meaty and substantial that we slurped them up in seconds. We had ours steamed with Chef’s special soy sauce and a dollop of delicious homemade chilli sauce on top.

The subtle soy sauce and a hint of fiery heat from the chilli were great complements to the actual fleshy clam. Each bite was just so pleasurable.

STEAMED TURBOT FISH WITH OLIVE LEAF

All the way from Busan in Korea, the Turbot Fish (S$18++/100g) is a luxurious fish. It is priced at a higher range than your regular grouper or pomfret and has a firmer flesh, almost like a combination of monkfish and stingray.

This flat fish might not seem like much, but have it steamed in this classic fashion and you have gold. There is something about Turbot Fish that is a little acquired but not difficult to love. Because of its firmer texture, eating it feels more gratifying in return!

DEEP-FRIED LOCAL LOBSTER WITH CHARDONNAY WHITE WINE SAUCE

Lobsters have long been regarded as an expensive treat. The Local Lobsters (S$18/100g) here at Yàn are amazing when deep fried with a side of Yàn’s house-made Chardonnay White Wine Sauce.

This cooking method is more of an upmarket Western style as opposed to the cooking style of the previous few dishes.

It is easy to overcook lobsters like this where it becomes rubbery, but fret not, the chefs have aced the deep frying and when you have the lobster served immediately, the flesh inside is still nice, warm and juicy.

DEEP-FRIED LIVE PRAWNS WITH FRAGRANT GARLIC, BLACK BEAN & CHILLI

As a great communal dish, go for some Deep-Fried Live Prawns (S$8/100g). We had ours deep fried then stir fried with some fragrant garlic and black bean for a burst of flavours.

Because these prawns have been deep-fried, you can even chow down the flesh with the shell! Nice and crunchy with every bite, we were just blown away by the simple yet intense flavours of this dish.

The next time you crave a really stellar seafood meal, head down to Yàn at National Gallery Singapore for the freshest seafood from the market and have it cooked to your desire. Your next family dinner will be great.

TungLok Seafood — a concept by the reputable TungLok Group — has made quite a name for itself amongst Singaporeans with its exceptionally fresh Singapore-style seafood delicacies.

Known for their commendable service and quality seafood, expect nothing short of a stellar dining experience at this award-winning establishment; choose to dine at either the restaurant at Orchard Central or the outlet at Arena Country Club in Jurong.

Everyone who has been to TungLok Seafood only has good things to say about the place, and rightfully so. Their extensive menu only means that you will be spoilt for choice. Look forward to hot favourites such as Laksa Crab Bee Hoon, Salted Egg Yolk Prawns, Mee Goreng and Crisp-fried Baby Squid.

Readers of ladyironchef can flash this article to get 15% off (no minimum spending) a la carte food orders at TungLok Seafood.

Here are 12 Singapore-style Seafood Dishes from TungLok Seafood that we thoroughly enjoyed.

#1 CRISP-FRIED BABY SQUIDS (S$12++/SMALL)

The Crispy-fried Baby Squids (S$12++/small) definitely whets your appetite for more, and it was an appetiser that left all of us in awe.

These baby squids have been deep-fried till crisp, but sink your teeth into them and you would realise that every piece has retained its chewiness within. Covered in sweet sauce and a handful of sesame seeds, these crispy baby squids are pretty damn addictive.

#2 TUNGLOK CHILLI CRAB (S$65++/KG)

Chilli crab is not just a hit among the locals, it has also become one of Singapore’s most iconic dishes. TungLok Seafood’s Chilli Crab (S$65++/kg) is one of the restaurant’s bestsellers and why are we not surprised.

The crabs are cooked to perfection and its plump flesh does not stick to the shell; the outer shell breaks easily hence allowing one to dig into the fresh crabmeat almost effortlessly. The secret ingredient that lies in the chilli-based tomato sauce is one that gives the viscous gravy an extra oomph, and you would never have guessed that it is freshly squeezed orange juice.

Try it and witness the difference. You will be convinced why TungLok Seafood has one of the best chilli crabs in Singapore.

#3 SPICY CURRY LAKSA CRAB WITH THICK RICE VERMICELLI (S$65++/KG)

This new dish is reason enough for you to visit TungLok Seafood.

We all love our XO Crab Bee Hoon, but what if we told you there is a Laksa version? Tunglok Seafood’s Spicy Curry Laksa Crab with Thick Rice Vermicelli (S$65++/kg) serves just the same purpose of bringing comfort to the soul.

This massive pot features premium Sri Lankan crab immersed in an aromatic spicy curry broth. The dish is complemented with a generous portion of chewy thick rice vermicelli. A pot is typically good for 2-3 diners.

#4 DEEP-FRIED PRAWNS WITH CRISPY OATS (S$24++/300GM)

The aroma of TungLok Seafood’s Deep-fried Prawns with Crispy Oats permeated the restaurant when it was presented to us. Huge prawns are deep-fried with oats to crispy, crunchy excellence; this dish perfectly marries sweet with savoury.

It comes in a single serving size starting from S$24++ per 300 grams, but that is enough to feed two. Once again, you will be treated to plenty of prawns stacked on top of a bed of fragrant golden oats.

#5 DEEP-FRIED PRAWNS WITH SALTED EGG YOLK (S$24++/300GM)

What is a seafood meal without some salted egg yolk prawns, right? We have all grown too accustomed to ordering salted egg yolk-something, and when in a seafood restaurant — TungLok Seafood in particular — the Deep-fried Prawns with Salted Egg Yolk (S$24++/300gm) is the ultimate crowd pleaser.

The prawns are deep-fried, leaving it with crispy shells that give way to juicy and succulent prawn meat. See those strips on top of the prawns? Those are salted egg yolk strips that were so irresistibly yummy, like we were munching on chips.

#6 SAUTÉED CLAMS WITH SAMBAL SAUCE (S$18++/SMALL)

Singapore seafood dishes go hand-in-hand with sambal sauce. These Sautéed Clams with Sambal Sauce (S$18++/small) are no different.

A hefty portion of clams is stacked high on the plate, all drenched in sambal sauce that has an irresistible spicy tanginess. The molluscan is fried over high heat quickly to achieve a tenderness and served atop a bed of green lettuce; briny, fresh and spicy.

#7 STEAMED RAZOR CLAM WITH GARLIC AND VERMICELLI (S$10++/PC)

Steamed Razor Clam with Garlic and Vermicelli is a well-loved Hong Kong-style dish that is commonly seen in Chinese restaurants, and TungLok Seafood has hit all the right spots with their rendition.

Priced at S$10++ per piece, the steaming process brought out the sweetness of the succulent meat, and the chopped garlic enhanced the fragrance further. This is such a classic dish and it has become one of our must-orders when at TungLok Seafood.

#8 BAKED NORWEGIAN SALMON WRAPPED IN BANANA LEAF (S$12.80++/PC)

No, that’s not a grilled fish otah. We were initially deceived by the misleading banana leaf wrapper, but soon realised that within the fragrant parcel is actually a high-quality baked salmon (S$12.80++/pc).

The fresh Norwegian salmon is baked with a hint of fragrance borrowed from the banana leaf. This east-meets-west seafood dish far exceeds expectations, and its uniqueness is one that will leave your jaw dropping upon the first bite.

#9 STEAMED SEABASS WITH ASSAM SAUCE, TOMATOES AND EGGPLANT (S$45++/KG)

The rich Assam sauce in this one beckons like no other. If you like tangy flavours, this one is definitely a must. Together with the sweetness of fresh fish, the Steamed Seabass with Assam Sauce, Tomatoes and Eggplant (S$45++/kg) is a clear winner.

#10 THAI-STYLE BRAISED BEANCURD (S$12++/SMALL)

These Thai-style Braised Beancurd features firm tofu cuboids topped with julienned cucumber and chicken/pork floss. The soft white blocks – encased by its fried golden skin – are accompanied by sweet Thai chilli sauce.

#11 BRAISED RICE NOODLE WITH PRAWNS AND CLAMS (S$24++/SMALL)

The Braised Rice Noodle with Prawns and Clams (S$24++/small) is another carbs dish that is great for sharing. It comprises fresh clams, juicy prawns, mushrooms and mixed vegetables, and is especially comforting on a cold rainy day!

#12 MEE GORENG (S$18++/SMALL)

TungLok Seafood’s interpretation of the Chinese-style Mee Goreng (S$18++/small) is hands down one of the best we’ve ever tried in Singapore and we cannot stop raving about it!

These noodles – stir-fried with shrimps and calamari rings – boast a distinctive complex taste profile of sweetness, spiciness and tanginess. Let’s just say we will return to TungLok Seafood just for this dish. No joke about that.

We can never resist a seafood feast – especially when we are talking about ocean fresh seafood on a free flow basis.

Buffets are one of the best things ever, and you should never feel guilty for treating yourself to a well-deserved spread. When we go for a buffet lunch/ dinner, the first section we check out will always be the seafood on ice. Do you do the same too?

Well, then this post is for you! There are many seafood buffet restaurants in Singapore that we love and frequent. Here are the 15 Best Buffets in Singapore for the freshest seafood for your next seafood-hunting escapade(s)!

Read: 7 Local Food Buffets In Singapore That Offer The Best Of Singapore’s Food.

There has always been a debate over the difference between farm-bred and wild-caught fishes. The former, while much more readily available and affordable, has a higher chance of being contaminated, hence more prone to getting disease. The latter live in their natural habitats out in the open waters, and is hence a lot healthier. We can go on and on about the benefits of wild-caught fishes, but we will leave that for another day. While I am always happy to order wild-caught fishes when I dine out, restaurants in Singapore hardly place an emphasis on it and hence stick to using conventional farm-bred ones.

This is why I am so happy to introduce Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro as it is really a heaven for seafood lovers. Located at the charming Quayside Isle at the luxurious Sentosa Cove enclave, Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro has daily fresh imports of wild-caught seafood and fish from different parts of the world.

Appetising starters include Hokkaido Scallops Crudo (S$19), freshly shucked oysters, and the beautifully-plated Torched Holloumi Cheese (S$18). The pastas (S$28) are too delicious to a fault, and nobody can resist the Baked Half Boston Lobster (S$54). But the highlight of the menu – and something that you must order – is the qsfb’s Fresh Seafood Platter (S$150).

Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro has a spacious interior that looks very inviting and though nothing fanciful, it makes you want to sink in to the seat for a meal. The splendiferous waterfront view makes it a wonderful choice for all-day dining; breezy environment to say the least, and you cannot get any more relaxing than this. And the cherry on top? The al fresco area is pet-friendly.

The Torched Holloumi Cheese (S$18) – with compressed watermelon, wild rocket, raspberry wine vinaigrette and squid ink crumbs – is a work of art on its own. The very colourful dish is simply too beautiful to behold. It is intended to spark the palate and leave you anticipating what is to come.

The Horseradish Marinated Yellowfin Tuna Tartare (S$18) is also another great way to start your meal. So too are the oysters. If you like oysters, you will be spoiled by the choices at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro. They have oysters (S$4.30 – S$9.35 per piece) from around the world – Tasmania, Scotland, Ireland, France, to name a few…

What I also like about Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro is that it has a special and very personalised Blackboard menu which changes daily with the freshest produce that the chefs source for the day. First, you choose a fish (min order of 200g for dine-in), then select your preferred cooking method – baked mole, herb crusted, roasted, cartoccio, and poached. And finally, choose the side dish to go along with the fish.

We tried a Chilean Seabass in Baked Mole style. The fish was fresh and tender, but what worked wonders for it was the sauce, which was tangy and very flavourful. It was accompanied by a generous stack of shoestring white truffle fries.

Among the three pasta dishes on the menu, we sampled qsfb’s Signature Chilli Crab Linguine and Squid Ink Lobster Spaghetti. The former was a kick-ass spicy and fiery hot rendition of the iconic Singapore dish, while the latter came in delicious squid ink XO cream with hint of brandy, topped with huge chunks of lobsters.

The standout dish on the menu is surely the qsfb’s Fresh Seafood Platter (S$150, for 2 to 3 pax) – with the choice of hot or cold – which features an entire Boston lobster, seasonal oysters, Hokkaido scallops, snow crab, crawfish, tiger prawns, scampi, and more truffle fries.

Desserts are baked freshly in-house, too. The Black Sesame Cheese Pound Cake (S$9), with a scoop of green tea gelato, is a unique creation. Chocolate Coated Strawberries (S$9) are bites of decadence. White Truffle Flavoured Lava Chocolate Cake (S$12) will make you go weak in the knees. But the must-try dessert is their Homemade Tiramisu (S$14), which is rich and doused in a copious amount of alcohol. This might just be one dessert to leave you with withdrawal syndrome – if that is even possible.

Citibank card holders get to enjoy a complimentary glass of sauvignon blanc or Pinot Noir with every S$60 spent at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro (valid from Tue – Fri). Ultima Cardholders get 10% off total bill with minimum spend of S$100.

The weekly promotion here is also equally enticing. From a glass of Bloody Mary oyster shooter at a jaw-dropping S$5 (on every Sun), to a 1-for-1 deal on Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Prosecco (on every Tue), and 1-for-1 cocktails (on every Wed) – there is always something to anticipate at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro.

If you are the adventurous type, and thinking of a place to celebrate Halloween with your pals, the “Peer by the Pier” Scary Halloween Party at Quayside Fish Bar & Bistro is definitely your kind of party. There are many scary activities lined up for the evening – expect free flow of brain booze for your indulgence if you dare. Find out more information on their facebook event page.

The marriage of super fresh seafood with an array of speciality cocktails, wines and craft beers served up in a comfortable and cosy gastrobar setting makes this fish bar at Quayside Isle a spot to head to if you haven’t been. For those of you who are already regulars there, the ongoing promotions are reason enough to make you return soon.
