Punggol Seafood @ Punggol Settlement

Chance upon this restaurant after we cycle at Punggol settlement and we had returned again for their super nice Roasted Chicken! This time round I called and made a reservation because they are usually packed on weekends.

Punggol seafood used to be located at Marina Country Club before they moved over. Each time I was there I saw the boss who is helping to arrange and making sure the dishes is neat and clean before it is been serve. It also seems to me that this restaurant are their own family business. As usual, I will ordered their Roasted Chicken, a Red Grouper fish soup in claypot, Vegetable with Bai Ling Gu, Sambal Lala & Fuyong Egg. Before I start to recommend their dishes, allow me to rant!

On my 2nd visit, I met this super rude auntie! I asked her to take our ordered so I checked with her if there is any smaller sized of the steamed fish? As I planned to get the small one for my toddler so I could ordered more of other dishes. Guess what? This rude auntie start to raise her voice when I only asked her the 2nd time!! She is not wearing the staff uniform which I guess she must be one of the family member who runs this place. And she replied saying that since I kept asking this and that than she go checked with the kitchen 'lor'! What attitude is that? So I ignored her and ask their staff to take my order instead. Things don't end here, that rude auntie came back to us but she told that staff to pass the message to me of what smallest fish they had today! AM I TRANSPARENT? Probably she had a very bad day, I am just unlucky to provoke her!

Roasted Chicken - $15 for half and is good enough for 3 adults and my elder daughter. This dishes evoked nostalgic memories of the olden days where they served this dish on Chinese Weddings. It is served with Prawn Crackers and the chicken was so tender, not dry at all! The best part is the skin, so thin and crispy! 

Fuyong Egg - Nothing to shout about

Sambal Lala ($12) - The gravy was not that spicy and it is quite similar to the chilli crabs sauce. But when I had my 1st bite, I go "OUCH"! The clams was so sandy and it stinks! So disappointed! Confused

Red Grouper soup in claypot ($36) - After been annoyed by that rude auntie, I decided to order this. So happy that I made the right choices! The milky soup is so rich, fragrant & tasty! I drank 3 bowls of it!

Lastly is the vegetable, I ordered this because of the mushroom. Sorry, too busy eating and forgot to snap a picture d'oh!The spinach is cooked in gravy with thick slices of the mock abalone (Bai Ling Gu), is quite nice too!

Total damage, we paid around $80+ for all the dishes which include drinks and the white rice. I find their price is pretty affordable and I will definitely be back for their Roasted Chicken again!
