Our take: 401 BBQ is a hawker stall known for its sambal-smothered BBQ seafood sets, particularly the BBQ Stingray.
For $8.50, you typically get a set with rice, an egg, and two proteins like stingray and sotong.
Reviewers consistently praise the generous portion of sambal chilli, noting its savoury heat and the presence of small shrimp, which elevates the flavour.
The chilli is often highlighted as the standout component, making up for any inconsistencies in the main protein.
While the sotong is generally well-cooked and tender, the stingray can sometimes be dry or have a higher bone-to-meat ratio, especially in the value sets.
The inclusion of 'chinjialok onions' (sour onions) is a unique touch that provides a good palate cleanser.
Expect a wait of around 15-20 minutes during busy periods, as the coffeeshop can get crowded.
We think it's a solid choice for a flavourful and affordable hawker meal, especially if you appreciate a good sambal.
Best for a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner if you're in the Hougang area.

Ordered BBQ Stingray. The fish is fresh and delicious. Best to serve with the dipping sauce.
Inconsistent size. Beneath the chilli was hiding two small pieces of sambal stingray. Sometimes medium size, sometimes small. But all $8.50.

I hadn't been here in a while, and now it's renovated with the stalls moved behind the coffee counter. Prices have gone up, but for $8.50, you still get a set with rice, egg, and two proteins. We cho…
