Joyden Seafood (Leisure Park Kallang)

On first glance, this may look like crab in the now commonplace salted egg yolk sauce. But NO! This is Joyden’s signature creamy crab steeped in pumpkin purée and milk, made fragrant with curry leaves and chilli padi. The sauce is sweet and flavourful just like it’s lookalike, salted egg sauce, but without that cloying salty aftertaste that salted egg gives you. And that means I could happily mop up loads of that sauce with the crispy fried mantou 🤗

If you like crab, I assure you that the crabs here are fresh and sweet, with meat that isn’t overcooked. If you like your crab with an interesting twist, Joyden is the place to be!!!

Looks and tastes somewhat like sweet and sour pork, as the pork ribs are first deep fried before tossing in a sweet tangy sauce. What's special is the lemongrass, adding a touch of citrusy lemon, herbal and slightly minty flavor, to the dish, especially when the shredded lemongrass is sprinkled all over and eaten together with the meat. Recommended to eat this with their yam ring.

Never thought that there would be a version of yuan yang hor fun cooked in this manner. It's a dish that's kept simple, without much variety of ingredients. What's unique was how they combined half of the hor fun that's deep fried and the other half that's wok fried. The wok fried hor fun was slightly charred and no lacking of the wok hei. On the contrary, the deep fried hor fun, though interesting, but lacked of flavour, basically tasted bland and greasy. It wasn't very crispy either. The gravy was rich in the crustacean flavour, not surprising due to the considerable amount of clams in each plate.

A potent appetizer that's just too addictive for me to count calories and control cholesterol. Each crispy piece is so thickly coated with powdery salted egg yet doesn't lose its original fishiness. One thing about this snack is that the more fishy it is, the more I enjoy it. 😄 And the crispy curry leaves, though just a subtle leafiness. Spice things up with some chili padi!

had a few salted egg yolk crab but joyden prepared it kinda “甘香”. so instead of the usual sticky mess, this is just dry films of salted egg. cleverly executed and the result is almost pure enjoyment of the very very fresh crustacean meat with texture from the salted films. naissse!

had enough of cny set lunch so went with a la carte since this is a seafood place after all. this lobster porridge proved my decision was ever so right. perfectly cooked lobsters means firm chunky meat lifted from shell effortlessly and springy to bite. lobster broth needless to say was uber flavorful and one can definitely register that seafood sweet notes that came from the crustacean. two chinese words summed it up - "清甜"
