SIN seafood places

I'll be overnighting in SIN very soon, and would like to find a prawny-crabby-lobstery sort of place to take my travelling companion to for a birhday dinner. Jet-lag AND my pocket mean that swanky won't work. "No-name Seafood" has been suggested in the office, any comments on this or advice on somewhere else ?

I'll be back in SIN for a few days on the way back, so can always try out a few other places

Cheers, Ian

Try JUMBO Seafood - locations: East Coast Seafood Centre, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay.

Personally prefer the East Coast place.

I guess you mean "No Sign Board" seafood restaurant in Geylang. It is quite good and a place where many of my local friends go. Not fancy though - but that makes it so pleasant for a change.

No Sign Board seafood on Geylan Rd is great. It's not fancy as you sit on plastic chairs, but you can tell by the clientle that it is an extremely popular place.

As an alternative, if you some to go somewhere posh, the Cliff at the Beaufort (it's a hotel on Sentosa island. The island is accessible by taxi from mainland Singapore) is probably the best 'western' seafood in town. The restn. is also very very pretty!

My personal favourites for crab are Seafood Paradise, for their creamy butter crab, and Mellben for every other crab style. Not very touristy and/or upmarket and/or have nice ambience for a birthday dinner though ...

Just ate on new years Eve at Chinatown seafood restaurant. Very well priced for chilli crab and very much the size they said it would be, the other food on their menu was great too and beers well priced.
very busy place but thoroughly enjoyed everything.

Husband absolutely loved his chilli mud crab on Mosque Street.

Another vote for no sign board seafood. Not cheap though.

When I bring friends around, I like Jumbo Riverwalk near Clarke Quay. It's apparently featured in Korean guidebooks, but the quality is honestly pretty decent. Easy to get to as well.
