Tried google-ing a few recommended places for crabs where i can bring some of my international friends to. As its their last few days in Singapore and they told me they have yet to tried our famous chilli crab, so decided to bring them to Irvins located at Jalan Leban. When i first step in, i was kind of taken aback as it’s pretty empty, and i’m wondering, oh no, did the standard drop and so no one is around! Luckily when we tried the crabs, we are quite pleased with it! We ordered the following dishes for trying.Pumpkin prawn: Pumpkin taste isnt too raw and sauce is a lil creamy. Even someone for me who doesn’t eat pumpkin find it good! Prawns used were big and fresh and deep fried to crispy!Generally their crab prices are seasonal and vary accordingly to their sizes. But the ones at Irvins’ are quite reasonable. The big ones cause about probably around $50 odd, and sometimes they have promotional prices for crabs which can be as cheap as $18.Salted Egg Crab: This is one of the promotional crab we ordered and chose to have it the salted egg style. Although, it’s small and i did not expect much from it, but to my surprise, it’s rather meaty! And the golden yellow sauce is amazing! When you think that dipping man tou into the usual chilli crab sauce is good, dipping it into this golden salted egg sauce is equally awesome! Definitely a good alternative for someone who prefer the non-spicy way. Their man tou is good too! Crispy on the outside, and soft in the inside!Singapore Signature Chilli Crab: The meat of the Sri Lanka crab is fresh, meaty and jie shi. Definitely feeling shiok when eating it! The gravy is needless to say, a little spicy and well thicken with eggs.Black Pepper Crab: The black pepper flavor may be a lil overwhelming and choking due to the nature of black pepper. So if you are not someone who enjoys taking spicy food, you may choose other alternatives. But other than being a lil overwhelm by the black pepper, it taste pretty good too!Irvins’ prices are quite decent and food served are fresh. It’s quite spacious and air-conditioned. So beside it being a little ulu, i find it a good place for a family dinner!http://poohlovesfood.wordpress.com/2014/12/22/irvins-live-seafood-house/ for full review.

At first planning to try the buffet here which costs $10.90++, but is not available today. So end up having the set lunch instead. It costs $7.90++ a set and comes with a choice of drink ( either iced lemon tea or lime juice) and a choice of dessert or soup.I am having the sliced pork with salted fish set.The sliced pork is very tender and smooth. The salted fish is not too salty to overwhelmed the pork.There is a choice of rice between brown rice, garlic rice and plain rice. I am having garlic rice to go with the sliced pork. It is more like fried rice with crispy garlic bits on top. A oily but tasty.The lime juice is quite thick and refreshing.Although it is written on the menu there is a choice of dessert or soup, but I am served a bowl of salted duck soup. My lunch mate who is having fish soup, has hot red bean soup. When we asked the staff about it, she said that it is fixed. The soup is quite flavourful with the meat very tender.Overall food is not bad, but there is not much crowd. Only 2 other tables besides us. Service is also not bad as drink is refilled from time to time.

for photos and more reviews, visit http://littlemomentsofmylife.wordpress.com/ when i first saw the menu on the website, i was really excited already! i think i decided what i wanted to eat even before we stepped into the restaurant haha. and sometimes when you have expectations, you might find that reality doesnt match it. but nope, that's not the case at irvins xD it was a thoroughly satisfying meal mm i was wondering which dish to start with haha, they're all so good!!! their signature dish is Irvin's Salted Egg Crab ($23.90). i'm a stickler for dirt, which means that i rarely eat crab (although i love chili crab for the sauce! but mostly i'll eat the sauce alone without the crab if i can help it) cos i dont want to get my hands dirty haha yes, abit OCD. but this crab, it was IRRESISTIBLE. haha i'm too excited already, keep using CAPS. but it was great!! the sweet-salty egg yolk sauce was so rich and scrumptious, and the crab was fresh with the meat tender and springy. i just dug into it and heaped massive amounts of sauce on everything, nevermind the possible cholesterol/heart attack which could befall me. it's just once in awhile! ;)the crispy butter chicken ($15.80) was another chef's recommended dish. sooooo delicious! another ultra sinful dish, but i think i couldnt care less that day haha. crispy chicken, with a fragrant, mouth-watering sauce that i absolutely couldn't resist.the dry crispy belachan eggplant ($12.80) had the oomph of the chili and was once-again (yes, really every dish was!) drool-worthy. each slice of eggplant was crisply fried on the outside and soft & squishy inside hehe.the hot plate tofu with special minced pork ($12.80) came with a super generous amount of sauce (yay likes! ). sizzling hot and fragrant, it was a wonderfully comfy dish.

We were there on a Sunday night for dinner and we were quite astounded that there were only 2 occupied tables. We were expecting quite a crowd as they have such an awesome menu price tag. $9.90 menu. Everything is going at $9.90.I felt that Kung Pow Fried Eel is a good combination of the spices that actually leave me craving for more. Firstly, it is the kung pow sauce is sweet and spicy at the same time. The fried eel added that special crunch which crystallizes the entire taste. Maybe I am quite biased as I am a big fan of eel as it is very rich in Vit A & E. Given that it is only $9.90, super good deal!We had a craving for salted egg crab. Unlike most of the other restaurant, Irvins’ salted egg crab has a twinge of spice in its sauce. Given that we were not that hungry, we only order a small crab. And when i said small, it really meant small and tiny.The salted egg sauce texture is just nice. Not too watery, neither it is too thick. They even sell the sauce in bottles! So I am assuming that the salted egg sauce is really very popular among their customers too!We did not expect the fish head to be so BIG. We were quite stunned by the amount of size and we did have some difficulties in polishing it down. They actually fried the fish head before they braised it. The best part, the fish is still crispy despite it being braised in a claypot. There are plenty of vegetables inside the claypot. So if you are a big fan of fish and vegetables, this dish is really good for sharing because it is really BIG and the price is very reasonable for the size of the fish head. Anyway, we did not get any dessert as the selection was rather limited.

We had the Fish Head Soup in Claypot. Looking at it makes me want to dive in because I simply love the Milky Looking Soup with Fish in it! Hahahaha! And it did not disappoint me with it's rich broth and the flavourful pieces of lightly fried fish, paired with the unlimited amount of vegetables, I could easily finish up 2 bowls of rice. Ooops. And if you do not like soupy stuffs, here is a Claypot Braised Fish Head, something that would be good for going on rice for young children. And also filled to the brim with ingredients, it is so worth every drop. Compared to the milky soup base, this one will make me continue to eat it because the milky soup will fill me tummy up faster, But I Still Love BOTH! \(^o^)/For full review and more photos, please visit http://michhysaurous.blogspot.sg/2013/06/irvin-seafood-house-claypot-fish-head.html
