Long Beach @ DEMPSEY HILL

So, I finally checked out Long Beach at Dempsey Hill, and I gotta say it was pretty awesome. The vibe there is super chill, great for just hanging out and digging into some solid local seafood. I went straight for the chili crab, and wow, the sauce was packed with flavor, spicy but not too crazy, just enough to keep things interesting. The crab itself was fresh and meaty, which made every bite a win. The staff were friendly and didn’t rush us, which made the whole meal feel relaxed. Yeah, it’s a bit pricey, but for the quality and taste, I think it’s worth it. If you want some classic Singaporean seafood without the fuss, this place is a safe bet.…Read More

The crab was very good. Ordered a few more dishes that I did not take photo but overall the food was all tasty. the staff were all busy but still manage to cater to our request quite quickly.. but would go back when I feel like splurging only…Read More

The chilli crab was everything I hoped for — rich, spicy, and perfectly saucy, with sweet crab meat that just melts in your mouth. The blanched live prawns were fresh and juicy, offering a simple, clean contrast to the bold flavors of the crab. Together, they made for a seafood feast that was satisfying and memorable.…Read More

If the weather’s nice, definitely sit outside! you get to enjoy the birdsong and dine surrounded by lush greenery. The staff are friendly and attentive throughout. The food was really good, especially the chili crab, which lived up to the hype! Just a heads-up for tourists: they do charge for peanuts and wet wipes, so be prepared for that.…Read More

One afternoon we went to Long beach Dempsey for lunch. Because it is a casual lunch we did not order the famous crabs. the captain recommended the special tofu with seaweed powder which I find the taste quite weird. I have no idea what the mixed inside the Tofu which makes it taste like the tofu has gone bad. Than came the salted egg prawn which to my surprise it used salted egg whites instead of salted egg yolk to fried the prawns. I have never tasted this dish with egg whites. All restaurants use salted egg yolks. The whites makes the prawns very saltish and simply not edible. When we feedback to the captain. he said salted egg prawns is like that one ;( the fried kang kong is also quite disappointing. There are no sambal chillis in it only a few dry shrimps. The fried rice is fortunately "normal" but no surprise and not worth the value we are paying for. Total cost $90 for 2 pax.…Read More

First time ever eating crab porridge! Honestly it was a very novel experience. The porridge and crab go very well together! The crab with its crustacean taste and roe flavours the porridge very well. The porridge absorbs all the juices from the crab and so the rice grains are all very tasty and delicious. The crab is not overcooked and remains moist and juicy!!! Crab prices are seasonal.…Read More

Was out at dempsey on a thursday nigh and boy was it a mad full house. And I'm with a lil girl who doesn't have the most patience in the world.we decided to stake out an information board. which sadly isn't updated and picked out long beach. Made a call and told them we would like a table as long as it didn't take more than half an hour.By the time we strolled over and got to the counter, we were second in line, for some reason. The trick to this is - CALL. don't just appear to stand in line. It was a late dinner at 9pm we only had three dishes, tofu with house special sauce, salted egg yolk prawns and scallops and spinach. We also ordered a fried rice.The scallops were big and firm. and the spinach was fried just right. slightly crunchy and definitely still green. even in that darkness. …Read More

Long Beach has its long history in Singapore which has more than 66 years of experience. It is also a chain of restaurants operating in the island. The premium seafood restaurant that serves wide range of quality fresh seafoods for customers to choose from. Anyway,it was a treat from my boss and exclusively for ladies only. So basically all the ladies in my company are out for the night for the dinner.We went to one of the branch located at Dempsey Road.It was pack with customers and bookings throughout the night. We have 12 of us and one of them only take HALAL foods so she ordered food from the next restaurant.All photos taken using iphone 4s so do bear with the quality.Fried you tiao with mayonnaise and it is crispy at the outer and smooth in the inner.Love having it with mayonnaise sauce.Cereal prawn which they commented fresh.We also have the spicy chilli crab which we have it with the man tao.Their man tao is different from the one we always had it. This is more like western style but the taste is still the same old man tao taste.Fried Kangkong with cuttle fish. This is something new as we never tried fried kangkong before and it turned out just nice. It was their new recommendation.The presentation of the dish is attractive too.Salted egg crab which i prefer more salted egg with it. This one is a bit dry but the crab flesh meat is very fresh and it is in big size.Followed by the steam fish which the meat is very smooth and the steaming is just nice.Marinated chicken essence which taste delicious.Total damage SGD494++ and i must say Longbeach is a good choice for seafood place.Reservation is required when you pay a visit to this branch. The restaurant is crowded with customers. Overall ,it is a nice dinner with good laughter.…Read More

Headed down to the Longbeach at Dempsey with my family as it was my parents' wedding anniversary. My family has a few favourites at Longbeach: -The crispy fried chicken- Wasabi mayo prawns- Steamed fishThe wasabi prawns remain a hot favourite of mine and I was practically in heaven when I bit into the fried yet succulent prawn that was coated in wasabi mayo. It was served with strips of honeydew which made the prawn taste even sweeter when you eat it together.The crispy chicken and steamed fish are regular items that we usually order when at Longbeach. They won't disappoint! On top of those 3 dishes we also ordered iron plate tofu and xiao bai cai in a thick mushroom broth. It's a little pricey for food that could be eaten elsewhere but we had good service and a lovely ambience so it was well worth the money. …Read More

I went with a couple of my girlfriends for a post EVE party happening at the dempsey area over the weekend.After the hunks-dunking and drawing with the hunks, we were happy and exhausted. As we had no idea what cusinie to choose from, one of my girlfriends decided to have crab. So, Long Beach it is!We choose the set menu for 3-4 pax and change the seafood soup to a chicken skin with squid meat. The crab is a must-try! with the chili sauce and also the salted egg version. If you like it to be dry, then the salted egg crab is a must try.The rest of the dishes like the vegetables with abalone mushrooms are superb as well.…Read More

The very first dish, Canadian geoduck with salmon sashimi. We are given the option to eat it raw and dipped it in soy sauce with wasabi or cooked in the hotpot style soup, just like a steamboat style. I tried both style and I preferred eating it raw as I am able to taste the originality of the food, the freshness of the geoduck meat which is quite juicy and chewy. Moreover, the salmon sashimi is best eaten raw with the soya sauce and wasabi, I am savoring. It is well sliced and tasted fresh.…Read More

This is my second time at a Long Beach restaurant and this time its at the Dempsey branch. I have to say that the food was mediocore. I personally think the best dish was only the rice itself. The butter crabs we ordered were not that fantastic if i compare to other places like Melben, Seafood Paradise and Jumbo. I have to say though that the service was not too bad. Overrall, i would think it is highly overrated. …Read More

Had dinner at Long Beach @ Dempsey before my friend flies off to Auzzie! It was my first time trying deer meat. We ordered the fried deer meat. I was abit reluctant to try as I did not know how it would taste like. However, when I tried abit of it, I totally fell in love with it! It is so tender and soft! Unlike chicken meat which can be abit dry at times, this deer meat is so nicely cooked that it still retains the tenderness and is really super appetizing! I ate so much of it.…Read More

I remember going to Long Beach regularly when they were back at Bedok Corner when it was one of the family's favourite dining restaurant in the 80/90s. One visit to their east coast branch few years back did not leave an impression so I have not dined there in years!The recent visit to Long Beach @ Dempsey brought back some faith. One of my acquaintances suggested heading there when we arranged to meet for dinner one evening as her company host dinners there very often. Out of the set menu we ordered, I like their Steamed Clam with Minced Garlic, Fruit Sauce Chicken and Chilli Crab. However, even though we were seated in a private dining room, the noise coming from all over the restaurant was disturbing and the service level wasn't fantastic. Getting a car park lot is also an issue as the place is always packed.…Read More

Long Beach basically sells seafood, really good and fresh seafood. Their signature dishes consist of mostly crabs- the Popular Chilli Crab, Snow Crab with White Pepper Sauce and Claypot XO Sauce Sri Lankan Yellow Roe Crab with Bee Hoon as well as others like Scotland Scallop and Renowned Crispy Duck. I was here during a family dinner recently, we ordered many dishes. I remember having the steamed fish, honeyed ribs and chilli crab. Being a fan of crabs, of course I enjoyed the chilli crab best. The pearl white flesh didn't stick to its shell and the chilli crab sauce was fragrant and heavenly. Also ordered a coconut drink to go with, it was a young coconut hence the natural sweetness and soft coconut flesh.…Read More
