2. What you expect to dine in this restaurant?
👉 International cuisine. Hotel food style with comes with pretty decoration, but portion is a bit small for us. To be frank, because we were super hungry that time, we able to eat 3 main courses for 2 of us. However, we just ordered for 2 main courses as we would like to visit another shop for dessert time! Will blog the dessert shop soon.

3. Any set meal available in this restaurant?

On weekend and public holidays, they do have lunch and dinner ala cart buffet (refer photo at the end of the post).

👉 To us, both day and night time would be equally same, not crowded on weekends when we visited. Not sure about the usual weekdays set lunch time, the promotion set seems quite worth it though.



To celebrate 520 special day on year 218, we have booked ourselves a lunch for two in A*MUSE Dine & Bar @ Dorsett Hotel Singapore! Needless to say, the restaurant itself is comfortable and spacious because it is the restaurant's hotel. The menu is mainly on western, italian and asian foods. There are starters (soups), burgers and sandwiches, main course (i.e. spaghetti, steak, rice, fish and chips, noodles, ribs etc), snappy bites (i.e. french fries, handroll, sate etc), dessert (i.e. brownie, ice cream, fruit platter etc), beverages and beers. Just a simple two pages menu but is enough selection for diners.

I ordered linguine aglio olio mushroom and my bf ordered seafood fried rice. The linguine aglio olio mushroom comes in quite a small portion, but the taste itself is quite delicious, maybe a bit too bland for those who prefer salty foods. In Singapore, we tend to find foods which are mostly salty. However, this dish is not salty and is to my favourite. The mushroom has been fried together with garlic pieces which makes them smell nice and pair nicely with the linguine. Would be better if the dish has some more mushroom or bigger portion or prawn? haha. i know is not prawn spaghetti. As for the seafood fried rice tastes saltier than linguine aglio olio mushroom, however the taste is quite good as the rice is not fried too much, is just to the good temperament and you can enjoy prawns and squids together with the fragrant rice, not bad thou. Just that, my bf felt regretted for not ordering burgers or chickens as he was actually aiming for western food, but at the end of the day tempted to the seafood fried rice, ha! 😂

Since we went during lunch hours, the view of the restaurant is bright and spacious. It is not crowded as well on weekend and you can have the space to yourselves, enjoy your meal at a slower pace and just relax your mind. I guess this restaurant is the place which serves buffet breakfast to visitors who stay in Dorsett Hotel?

Environment, shining bright 💛

Wefie time 💓

While waiting for foodsss 💑😘


Ok, so what about the stuffs I mentioned upstairs, still remember? The ala cart buffet and value daily set meal? Take a look at the photo below. Taken outside the restaurant, kind of eye catching for people when passing by. Oh ya, free flow beer & bites, click on the photo if you are interested 😎!

House of Seafood @ Punggol Settlement Singapore


FAQ on House of Seafood Punggol Singapore:

1. What attracts you to come to this restaurant?
👉 Temptation for seafood and chinese food delicacies. WHO can say NO to seafood! And especially when I grow older, I favour chinese delicacies more, rather than western foods.. Oh, aging.. Haha xD

2. What you expect to dine in this restaurant?
👉 Of course is the well known seafood! Voted the best pepper crab in Singapore. They have this 7 tower tall of seafood as well, the price tag is definitely not cheap..

3. Any set meal available in this restaurant?
👉 No, only have ala carte meal, just like the usual chinese restaurant.

4. Any promotion available in internet for this restaurant?
👉 YES! Good news for those who want to save tiny bits of money. I bought my voucher online at Fave. Scroll down to see the voucher which I have snapped previously!

5. What is the recommended time to dine in this restaurant?
👉 To us, both day and night time would be equally same, except the restaurant gets more crowded especially on weekends and at night. We dined in earlier that time at 6.30pm and slowly the restaurant becomes full house one hour later! There are folks queuing outside for seating as well.. Mind that, outdoor seating are quite hot around noon time.. We chose indoor seating as it is well air conditioned.


On a particular weekend, we planned to visit this new island in Singapore which we have yet to explore. It is Coney Island! A small island fulls of greenery and would be a good place to unwind before another hectic working week ahead. Coney Island is just adjacent to Punggol Settlement, a place which has quite a number of restaurants for you to choose from, ranging from chinese, thai, western, and etcetera. Many families and kids come here especially during weekend, to hang around the playground, cycling around, or just enjoying the sea breeze. 

We had previously bought ourselves this cash voucher online and would like to give it a try! It is House of Seafood! Walked passed this previously but always have the feeling that this restaurant is way too expensive and something like will 'chop' the tourist? Haha. So it becomes a dream comes true when saw that we able to get 50% discount if we purchased online voucher by using Fave Singapore. Surprisingly, now they still have this promotion! So if you are interested, why not give it a try? Link here to direct yourself to House of Seafood cash vouchers: Fave! They have promotions of paying $50 for $100 cash voucher, and also $99 for $200 cash voucher! Really, it is 50% savings in your wallet! Parents day are coming! And it would be a great treat to your dad and mum! Who says we can't enjoy good foods at a cheap price! 😋

Fave Singapore cash voucher promotion!! Awesome! Anyone says yes here? 😈

The menu of House of Seafood is extensive. Even the way of cooking crabs also varies, ranging from chilli, black pepper (famous!), steamed, salted egg yolk (famous!), golden creamy butter, sweet and sour, and etcetera. When we passed by several tables, we can see both black pepper and salted egg yolk crabs are the most popular there. We ordered chilli crab, as I have never try chilli crab in Singapore. If you have stayed with my blog, will aware that I have tried curry crab in Singapore, in this good chinese restaurant called No. 3 Crab Delicacy I like to have fried bun (so called "mantao" in chinese) to dip into the sauce of curry or chilli. When you bite onto the fried bun, it is crispy in the outside and the curry or chilli sauced dipped will burst into your mouth like a splash, especially the curry sauce version! 😍

If you wonder on the menu of House of Seafood, may refer to link here before visiting, to check out if the dishes over there suit your taste bud or not. So let's see what we ordered for the dinner.

Yam ring! Crispy fried skin with yam filling inside, together with assorted
vegetables, prawns and nuts. Not to forget the side crispy dishes
surrounding the yam ring as well!
Price: $22 for one plate


Definitely must try special in this restaurant as they are famous for crabs!
Chilli crab as above, with the gravy filled with eggs and chilli flakes.
It is not spicy as thought. The taste is more to like tomato sauce topped with eggs?
Personal opinion, curry crab in No. 3 Crab Delicacy tasted better.
Price: $58.50 for 900g crab


6 pieces of fried mantou, for you to dip into chilli sauce!
Must order when you eat crab in Singapore. I like the crispy texure of fried mantou and
they are able to "suck" in the curry or chilli gravy into the mantou themselves,
so when you eat, the gravy sauce will burst into your mouth!
Price: $4.80 for 6 pieces


So that's the dinner for 2 of us. We have also tried their crackers, and appetizers (marinated sour fruits).


For 2 of us, we ordered chilli crab ($58.50), fried mantou ($4.80), yam ring ($22), crackers ($2), appetizers ($2), two white rice ($2) and hot tea ($2). The total bill incurred is ~ $110 inclusive of taxes. With the Fave cash voucher of $100, we need to top up an additional  $10. Hence, the total amount of money we spent by using the cash voucher and excess amount top up becomes $60. So, a luxurious seafood dinner for 2 pax at a total of $60 in Singapore top notch seafood restaurant, who are NOT tempted with this deal?! I still remembered last time we tried in No.3 Crab Delicacies, 2 of us spent ~$100 for crab and vegetable dish, even the crab alone already $60!
