Housed in an old style conservation house, this famous seafood haunt remains the last one standing in what used to be an area famous for seafood restaurants. I can imagine how it used to be- sprawling grounds facing the sea, with a glorious breeze as you feasted on crabs and shrimp. Now with all the land reclaimation over the years, lights from the nearby apartments are all you can see. But you can still choose to sit al fresco in the backyard- its all kind of fun!
Their food remains a strong point- evident from the familes that throng here on weekends. They've even got a valet service going so you don't have to bother trying to find a place to park your car without blocking the path of another (impossible to achieve).
Verdict? Good place to go to avoid the usual tourist crowds at the East Coast Seafood Center. Highly recommend getting the steamed prawns- they are sooo sweet; forget about herbal or cereal prawns! Oh and I like their version of hong kong noodle- its exactly the way it should be and not the sweet-ish pseudo hong kong fried noodle thing they serve up elsewhere.
