House of Seafood

Signature Black Pepper Crab

There are number of new eateries emerging along Yio Chu Kang Road, one of them is House of Seafood set up by 2 chefs formerly from Joo Chiat famous black pepper crab. Once you stepped into the Zi Char shop, pictures of mediacorp’s artistes with the owner & posters of reviews from various publishing, press and online media pasted around the wall of the outlet. We ordered 3 different dishes of crab, signature black pepper crab, Singapore famous chilli crab and butter crab, costs $38 per kg . In fact, I find most of the media had over-rated their crab, the black pepper crab was not well cooked at the right hot temperature that the meat stick with the shell, the black pepper sauce wasn’t fantastic enough to give us the “wow” factor. Singapore Chilli Crab just passable, I could easily taste it any chi zhar stall in Singapore , not worth to travel such a distance for it. Butter crab didn’t look creamy that butter crab should have, it was too dry that lost the touch of butter. I still prefer AMK Mellben and Seasfood paradise crabs, both have specialty to prepare tasty, juicy, mouth-watering crab..
