A quiet Friday night out with the wife turned out to be a rather enjoyable seafood dinner with some good friends.
Venue was a seafood place within 5 minutes walk from the Aljunied MRT station. Turns out one of the couples we are meeting eat pretty regularly there.
They are running a 2 crab for $68 deal for crabs sized about 800g and we ordered 2 to be done black pepper style and 2 chilli style. Of the 2 styles the black pepper one tasted more flavourful than the chilli one which was rather average. The signature kam heong style will have to wait for next visit.
We ordered various other dishes to round up the meal. Something called Dai Lok noodles was a particular revelation with the robust flavour of the black sauce coming through the chewy texture of the thick noodles. Other standout dishes included the calamari coated in salted egg yolk batter and the lah lah cooked in herbal broth while the coffee spare ribs deserve a mention.
In case I forget to mention this, this KL styled cze char stall used to be situated in a kopitiam at Block 85 Toa Payoh Lorong 4 until they moved to present location 2 years ago.
