Uncle Leong Seafood

I caught up with one of my best men, Long, over dinner at Uncle Leong Seafood recently. I remember the first time I brought Long here, and we just ate crabs from 5.30pm all the way to 11.30pm.Yes, we actually sat there for 6 straight hours chatting and shelling the crabs. He's probably the one friend that loves crabs as much as I do.

Apparently, they've gotten so popular that they've decided to open another branch in Punggol. I hear from the proprietor that the Punggol outlet will open on 15 April.

The Chili Crabs ($40 per kg) here hold their own against the Jumbo and Long Beach heavyweights. Crabs are sweet and succulent, whilst the finger-licking good gravy is rich, spicy eggalicious and thick.



Their specialty, the Shimmering Sands Crabs ($40 per kg) is one cooking style that isn't available anywhere else. It's a mix of creamy butter sauce, and a combination of sliced chili padi and fried curry leaves for fragrance and some heat, topped off with nutty crisp oats. Today's version had too much cream though, it ended up being too rich for my liking. And a little blob-ish.


Update 6 June 2011: Uncle Leong has moved to 6 Tebing Lane, #01-03 Punggol East.

You can find the "Shimmering Sands Crabs" at Mellben Seafood at Toa Payoh or Pasir Ris too. That's always my choice when dining at Mellben

Hi Miso!

I usually lump Mellben Seafood and Uncle Leong together as one restaurant chain because they're owned by the same extended family. I prefer Uncle Leong to Mellben because it's usually easier to get a table and faster food service.
