Punggol Settlement. The truth is I have not heard about this area at all, until a friend recommended that it is “seafood dining heaven” in Singapore.
You would have thought that this ‘ulu place’ would be unoccupied, but a weekend visit to a briskly popular House of Seafood 螃蟹之家 for crabs revealed that, yes, Singaporeans can travel anywhere for food.

There are several dining places at Punggol Settlement near where the old Punggol Jetty was, many of which are seafood restaurants. The area is charming and beautiful. Families bring their children there for recreational activities such as cycling and jogging, elderly can be seen taking slow walks by the waterfront.
Of course we were there for the crabs!

We have heard that House of Seafood’s Black Pepper Crab was voted the best by readers of another website.
Their Black Pepper Crab base was indeed quite different – more saucy, moist and pasty, a recipe said to be specially created by their chefs, whereas some of the other versions I tried were drier and more peppery. Comparatively, this is a milder Black Pepper.

Our table also ordered the recommended Salted Egg Crab. Between the two, we chomped this version down much faster. My advice: Eat it while it’s hot, sweep the fleshly crab meat across the creamy salted egg yolk sauce, and let it linger and suck the sweet juices before swallowing.

If you need some carbs, we happened to like their House Special Fried White Bee Hoon with XO Sauce ($8, $12, $16) a lot. It was unanimously our favourite dish of the dinner.
There is something about wet bee hoon, simple in aesthetics but mouth-watering tasty after absorbing the flavourful sauce, complemented by fresh prawns and sotong.

Pan Fried Chicken Cutlet with Special Sauce ($12, $16, $20) garnished with quail eggs
Of all the main dishes recommended, our favourite was the chicken cutlet evenly coated with sweet savoury sauce, slightly crisp on the outside, tender yet lean which somewhat reminded us of pork chop.
The other varieties of crabs available include Chilli, Stewed, White Pepper, Steamed, Ginger & Spring Onion, Bee Hoon, Indonesia Baked, Golden Creamy Butter, Sweet & Sour, Claypot Tang Hoon, Pumpkin, and Alaksan.
If you need to find somewhere away from the hustle and bustle, for a relaxing time with your family, consider heading over to Punggol Settlement for a meal of crabs.
