Chin Huat Live Seafood

One of the best salted egg crab in Clementi. I would recommend this dish to everyone. I would recommend making a reservation so that you are ensured a table. Service at the restaurant is decent but can be improved as there are too many tables with limited waiters/waitresses. …Read More

The restaurant was located at the ground floor of a HDB block. There was indoor air con and outdoor non air con dine in area, as well as private room.

Reservations are highly encouraged if you're dining, especially at peak periods. Reports of bad/slow service are rampant, so best tamper expectations, and develop a Buddha-like patience. Or just dine during weekday lunches.Seafood is the order of the day, and you'll do well to get the Boston lobster and Alaskan king crabs. Skip everything else if tummy space is limited, as the cze char here is fair but not particularly memorable.We had:1) Sauteed Scallops with Asparagus in XO Sauce ($20 for small): decent albeit forgettable, a lovely contrast in soft and crunchy textures, and lively in spice.2) Spicy & Sour Szechuan Soup ($10 for small): surprisingly refined for a neighbourhood seafood joint such as this.3) Hongkong Steamed Giant Garoupa ($38) was unexpectedly done fillet-style, and it was a smidge overcooked. In any case, the fillets were still slightly bony. I suspect this would have been much better left whole.4) Alaskan King Crab in Pumpkin Cream Sauce ($138 per kg): absolute must-try and fantastic. The salted-egg yolk accent was a savoury, and decadent, counter to the sweetness of the pumpkin, and curry leaves and chilli specks lent a subtle heat to the velvety sauce. Seriously the best salted egg yolk sauce ever. We wiped this clean off.5) Alaskan King Chilli Crab: heady with spice, and complementary to the incredible sweetness of the crab. Once you've had Alaskan king crabs, you'll never want their Sri Lankan cousins anymore; I haven't been able to look at Sri Lankan crabs the same way since. A telling factor to how amazing these are: a girlfriend who's mildly allergic to crabs and has to take anti-histamines before indulging, didn't break out in hives even though she ate several crab legs.6) Boston Lobster Noodles: sweet with the essence of the shellfish. Excellent stuff.Pictures are at http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.sg/2016/01/chin-huat-live-seafood.html…Read More

Recently i dropped by Sunset Way and explored around the area. I passed by Chin Huat Live Seafood Restuarant and my attention was caught with the big banner outside its shop featuring an affordable weekday set lunch at $11.90++ per person. Having the impression that seafood restaurant are usually quite expensive, i decided to grab hold of this good deal. The place was brightly light with banquet-like table settings. I chose the 'Seafood Horfun' set lunch. First up was the twin appetiser featuring a deep-fried battered oyster with thai chilli sauce (on the right of pic) and a crispy potato shreds coated prawn (on the left). Both were deep-fried nicely-cripsy and not oily.Next comes the hot seafood horfun. The seafood was very fresh, but overall the horfun will be better if it is more flavourful.After a healthy portion of the horfun comes my much anticpated part of the meal-dessert!The coffee serve was really pretty, a dainty cup with half-layer of coffee and half-layer of milk foam, a very satisfying combination for cuppacino lovers. Next was the 'twin dessert platter', featuring a crysanthemum jelly with bits of fruits enclosed (on the right of pic) and a very yummy mango sago cream. Both were absolutely delicious and ends off the meal perfectly!Drop by here if u r around the vicinity during weekend lunch from 11.30am-2.30pm!…Read More

We happened to be in the area and decided to drop by to buy dinner home for the children and ourselves. I got my husband to order the fried rice for me. I am not so sure what is the name of this fried rice since there are quite a few different types of fried rice. This fried rice has a generous amount of chicken egg used, in addition to two other eggs, the duck egg and the salted egg. It is a very novel fried rice, and I loved the taste of this fried rice. Also, it is not too oily, so it is not as sinful. …Read More

This restaurant is famous for their advertisement some years back that claimed that their lobsters is taller than a little girl. Till now, I guess many people still remembers that tagline "Long Xia Da Guo Xiao Nv Hai". This is a great place to dine, choose whether you prefer the indoor seats that is air-conditioned or the outdoor one whereby you can enjoy a little bit of quietness and breeze. For me, I am not eating their seafood but takeaway their fried rice. Was given two different type of chili, the green chili and the other chili is so hot and I realised the chili seeds were mixed together. Their fried rice taste nice and I can taste abit of egg inside. Real Char Siew Meat was used too . Never regret eating this. …Read More

I was brought to this restaurant more than 10 years ago by my in-laws & I’ve never stopped visited since. Despite the place having gone through an overhaul sometime back, the prices in their menu remain reasonable. Now, it’s a chic & cozy place with both indoor or alfresco dining, nestled in the heartlands of S’pore. There’s only one purpose that drew me all the way from my home to Sunset Way - their Claypot Shark’s Fin. The size of this claypot is good enough for 3 -4 people. There were just the two of us this time, so both my friend & I'd a few helpings of this tasty Shark’s Fin.Dig into the claypot, you’ll find heaps of chunky fins. All these for just S$50! Isn’t this a steal?One delicacy after another arrived. This time, it's one that is right at the top of my gourmet list – Abalone. This 2-head Abalone is going at just S$38/piece. Where else can you find at this price? My head went into a daze the moment I sank my teeth into the mollusk & I was like in a dreamland. It’s really that good!We also ordered the Deep-fried Cuttlefish @ S$12, which was lightly coated in salt & pepper. It’s one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Thumbs-up!The Asparagus is also a must-try dish. The vegetable is sauteed with XO sauce & it’s simply out of this world. But @ S$16, it’s a little pricey for a vegetable dish.Last on the list was the Fried Rice @ $10. So what’s so special about this fried rice? It’s fried with crabmeat & all 3 kinds of eggs. Yum-yum!Well, with reasonable prices like these, no wonder the place still draws an entourage. …Read More
