Return to Eng Seng

Last Friday, we brought Ben, his wife Mei Ling & son Calvin for dinner at Eng Seng Restaurant, off Still Road in the Katong area of Singapore.

We needed to come early. This place is HOT ! If you arrive after 5pm, expect to queue up for your table.

They prepare a variety of seafood dishes. However the specialty of this place is most definitely the Pepper Crab.

We enjoyed both Pepper and Chilli Crabs. With white bread to "chelok" the sauce, of course. And we also ordered Noodles, Vegetables & Yue Teow.

What could be better? Good food with good friends ...

Gourmet Tips #2 : Best Pepper Crab in Singapore

I normally don't put two postings of the same theme so close to each other, but all this talk of food and eating over the past week has put me in the mood for another "Gourmet Tips". So I hope you're ready too ...

Today we focus on Pepper Crab, and I'm willing to wager that the one at this place will be the best such dish you've ever tasted in your half century. Alas first you have to come over to Singapore for it !

The place is called Eng Seng Seafood, and it's at 247-249 Joo Chiat Place (off Still Road), Singapore 427935.

Last month when JK and family were in town - on their way back to the UK - we brought them here. CLF and family also came, and we all stuffed ourselves silly.

L to R : Pepper Crab, Bread, Chilli Crab, Mee Goreng (partially hidden)

Most of the food here is good, but the outstanding dish is without doubt the Pepper Crab.

Focus and attention is required

The food at Eng Seng is so popular that it is recommended that patrons come before 5:30pm if they don't wish to wait in a queue for tables. On weekends, make that 4:30pm. I kid you not.
