Cheng Ji Seafood Restaurant 城记海鲜 | East Coast Road Branch (Siglap)

The Alaskan crab, often prepared with two distinct flavours like white pepper and cheese or steamed, receives consistent praise for freshness and taste.

Other standout dishes include the Sri Lankan chilli crabs, noted for their size and well-balanced sauce, and the crispy hei cho.

The curry fish head and signature tofu also appear to be well-executed, with the curry described as rich yet balanced, and the tofu dish surprisingly flavourful.

However, some experiences suggest inconsistency with non-seafood items; the yam basket and longevity noodles have been described as 'so-so' or 'lackluster' for larger groups, especially considering the price point.

While service is generally seen as good and the environment comfortable with ample parking, the overall value for certain dishes, particularly for large family gatherings, can be a point of contention.

We'd recommend focusing on their seafood specialties, especially the crabs, and perhaps visiting on a weekday evening for a quieter experience.

Be prepared for crabs to be pricey, though discounts are sometimes available.
