[Seattle Pike Chowder]
1 Marine Parade Central
Situated next to the fast food giant & marine parade food centre, is a new food joint, Seattle Pike Chowder. Together with Giovanni.L gelato, they took up a booth-like unit with alfresco concept. From far, Seattle Pike Chowder wasn't obvious because gelato took up most of the space. The whole area was very airy at night and we were greeted by friendly & courteous staff. Positive impressions right from the start.
Total of 6 types of chowders on sale. Price ranges from $8.90 small bowl to $16.90 large bowl. Bread bowls are from $12.90 onwards.
We tried 3 types out of 6. First is New England Clam chowder in a bread bowl. As told by the marketing personnel Rachel, ingredients for chowders are imported from Seattle directly. Bread bowl is locally sourced.
New England Clam Chowder Breadbowl $12.90: The broth is very thick, peppery and creamy. It is very rich in taste. Ingredients were generous, spoonful of clams and vegetable in every scoop. I do like this heavy chowder but my personal preference will be a little less salty, best to go wif the bread to reduce the saltiness.
Total 10 sourdough bread bowl were served and more than half is burnt on the outside, too dry & hard.. Bread texture on the inside is too chewy, lack of fluffiness. Timing of heating the bread gotta be fine-tuned.
Smoked Salmon Chowder followed thereafter. We were given a small portion ($9.90) to try. The chowder gives off a very nice smokey fragrance even before I could taste it. First mouthful down my throat and I'm already immersed in it.
Smokey shellfish broth, shredded salmon & lotsa potato cubes inside, it's yum to max! Cream cheese is one of the ingredients added in the broth, although not distinctive but it does help the broth to be really smooth & more creamy.
Seafood Bisque- Among all 3 dishes I've tried, this Seafood Bisque is the least impressive. The overall presentation is congee-like, clotting & not smooth. Although we were told there are cod fish, salmon, shrimps, crab meat inside the bisque but all I scooped up were tomato cubes. Tomato based broth resulting in overwhelming sourish taste, diminishing the sweetness of seafood added.
Overall experience at Seattle Pike Chowder was good, love smoked salmon chowder the most. Compared to locally found diluted chowders, these we had at Seattle Pike are so much richer in quality. One of the foodie member in our group whom just came back from Seattle 2 weeks ago, told us that this tastes exactly like the version she had in Seattle

So I presume these authentic recipes by Seattle Pike Chowder Singapore branch will definitely attract more crowds from locals, expatriate and tourists. I will bring my friends here to try out other chowders on the menu and also the wide range of gelato by Giovanni L.
