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!

Georges by the Bay @ The Punggol Settlement


Today we have escaped ourselves to a secluded area of Punggol Singapore. We have booked ourselves one table for two in Georges by the Bay! The way to this cafe is more like back to "kampung" style life as you can pass by lush greenery and trees. We even spotted squirrel and monkey on top of the tree! Kinda hard to find this place in urban city of Singapore thou. We reached bay overlooking Johor Bahru, took a stroll along the park. There are visitors who come here and rent bicycle to ride in the park, and what's more, you can reach Coney Island if you ride further down the road! Since we reached the cafe quite late, we did not visit Coney Island, just purely sit back and relax in the cafe to enjoy our Sunday life. 

The cafe is situated at the end of the second floor of shoplet. There have indoor and outdoor seatings. This cafe will transform into bar at night. We chose to dine at the outdoor table so we able to enjoy the bay scenary. The cafe offers mainly western foods, can refer to the menu here. I ordered Baked Fish Pasta and my bf ordered Guinness Pork Ribs Half Rack. The Baked Fish Pasta has cheese toppings on the baked fish and tomato toppings on the pasta. The flavor is not bad thou, just a bit too salty for me. The cheese toppings make it very filling. For the Guinness Pork Ribs, we found that pork ribs served in Naughty Nuri Warung at Ubud, Bali Island which we had tried on April 2017, was better in taste and flavor. However, the french fries are nice for us.

Guinness Pork Rib Half Rack

Not long after we have done our meals, it started to pouring heavily. So we moved ourselves to indoor seating and just sat back and relax. You may come here to enjoy the lush greenary walkway before dining in this cafe, or just eat here on the way to Coney Island, or just relax at night by ordering some drinks to spice up in this bar. Since it was raining badly that day, we have cancelled the plan to walk around the park further down the road and called it a day. However, it was a good experience to find some secluded places in Singapore which has no high skyscraper and no need to rush yourselves by walking and speeding as well. For reservation, may consider our favorite site or apps Eatigo! 👍
