So I bought 3 Groupons for House of Seafood crabs, seeing that they supposedly sold thousands on Groupons. I couldn't find any reviews on these "Groupon" crabs and figured that since 2,000 people have bought them, it should be pretty safe to try them. But I was wrong. 2,000 otherpeople were cheated!So as you can see all 3 Groupons were redeemed immediately after I handed them over to the staff that evening.And after the meal, they still charged us a hefty sum at almost another $12 per crab for G

 And after the meal, they still charged us a hefty sum at almost another $12 per crab for GST and service charge, making each crab $24!! 

Luckily I had rejected their crackers and other snacks they put on the table, which I read on Yelp that they charge even more money for!

Okay with all that said and done... Let's go into details about the food.

 Their menu is a huge heavy magazine/booklet with the huge picture that says, voted best black pepper crab.

 They have tons of flavours of crabs. We decided to try, one butter, one black pepper and one tang hoon. But the waitress insisted to get 2 crabs of the same flavour because she said they were very small, but out of the 3 of us, only 2 of us eat crabs, so we said we wanted to try 3 different flavours. It took some persuasion and she finally let us have 3 different flavours. Sounds like nasty sales tactics here.

 The worst of the 3 crabs, the meat was hard and was very different to get the meat off the shell as the meat was constantly stuck on the shell.. The sauce was too peppery, and we didn't enjoy it. This crab took us ice ages to get the meat!! So not worth the time and effort.

 Compared to mellben or uncle leong, this tasted very garlicky and the colour looked more like salted egg sauce, it didn't have enough sauce for our fried mantous. But this was fresher than the black pepper crab. The sauce had the right about of sweetness and saltiness. But uncle leong or mellben is still way better this.

 The freshest and biggest of the 3 crabs. Each groupon crab was supposedly 400-600g but this one you could tell from the top shell that it was at least 700g or so.. The sauce disappeared quickly as the noodles soaked up the sauce, and the noodles were nice and there were mushrooms in there. The noodles ended up tasting very peppery as the sauce dried up. The waitress was courteous enough to serve us the noodles as they saw us struggling to serve the noodles, whilst all our fingers messed up with crab sauce. Although we did pay a hefty price for their service indeed.

 Fried mantous were priced at 70 cents each but they were not freshly fried and once you place your order for the mantous, they come out in a split second. It's quite upsetting that they're not crispy. At least they're not oily either.

 The whole shopping center looks pretty dead and you can see that this is pretty much the only shop opened on a friday night.

All in all the crabs were not all fresh, and we felt cheated by the ridiculous service charge and GST. One time is enough, never coming back here. Uncle leong is so much more value for money!
