Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Happy Kampong Seafood offers a laid-back, 'kampong' dining experience in a tucked-away corner of Sembawang.

We find the overall sentiment points to good value and generous portions, with specific mentions of the 'homemade yam paste' as a must-try.

The prawn paste chicken also receives praise.

However, the menu is described as somewhat fixed, and while some dishes are lauded for their flavor, others, like the fish head steamboat, have received mixed reviews, with one diner finding it 'odd' and not fresh.

There are also consistent mentions of flies and limited seating during peak hours, which can detract from the experience, especially given it's a non-air-conditioned space.

Parking can also be challenging during busy periods.

We think it's a good spot for those seeking a casual, local zhi char experience with a nostalgic vibe, provided you manage expectations regarding comfort and consistency across all dishes.

Best for groups looking for a no-frills meal, but be prepared for a rustic setting.

What customers say

Happy Kampong Seafood is praised for its "JB feel" and "kampong vibe," offering tasty, local dishes at reasonable prices, particularly the crab meat with Kai lan fried rice and homemade Yam paste.

While many find the food delicious and value for money, some dishes are inconsistent in quality, with the fish head steamboat receiving specific criticism for freshness and taste.

The non-air-conditioned setting can be marred by flies, and parking can be challenging during peak hours, but service is generally warm and friendly.
