Our friends returned from the States and craved crabs. So when the promo for House of Seafood came by, we decided to grab it. When we're there, they were fully booked inside their aircon section so our table was under a large gazebo with a call-bell for service. We enquired and realized that the crabs alone will be about $45/kg for large ones and the rest of the food items were very pricy too.

When we're there, they were fully booked inside their aircon section so our table was under a large gazebo with a call-bell for service. We enquired and realized that the crabs alone will be about $45/kg for large ones and the rest of the food items were very pricy too. Thus, cheapo us only ordered the crabs.
1) Black Pepper Crab - their black pepper turned out to be a thick sauce that is very peppery and spicy. It's really kick-a*s in taste! So good we had to have mantou to slurp up the last bit of sauce!
2) Salted Egg Crab - this too was very tasty. The sauce used to cook was also nice and thick. If you are used to salted egg that's cooked till it's stuck on the shell of crab, then this is not that type. Very tasty still.
This restaurant is really tucked away in a very ulu part of Singapore so I dare say if you don't drive, it's bot likely you can find this place. Tho the food us nice, having to dine alfresco was not the best for us. In the middle of our meal, we had one fairly large millipede carry towards us, then a large spider, then a large flying bee/wasp flew into my face!!
As fo service, we had to press a table buzzer for service as we were seated in the gazebo. So it's not your best service but to be fair, they do come whenever we buzzed for them.
Not to mention we had to pay about $200 for the 3 crabs. It's too exciting a place for me to eat at.
