Hua Kee seafood at Pasir Panjang

The husband and I were taking an evening walk at Labrador Park and decided to have dinner in the area. My family used to live in Pasir Panjang and we really liked the siput (some call it zoot zoot) cooked with sambal at the seafood stall there.

We had clams and sambal stingray, as well as some kai lan.

The clams, in the sambal-garlic sauce, were brilliant with steamed rice.

Rong Guang BBQ Seafood

This is a place we usually think about going to if we have lots of time to kill. First, looking for a parking lot is challenging, and second, there's always a long queue. Rong Guang BBQ has another branch at the junction of Holland and Clementi Roads (just next to Pine Grove), but for some reason it's never appealed to me. I've always enjoyed the Alexandra Village outlet in the hawker centre a lot more.

Hot steaming rice is the stuff dreams are made of

Grilled squid with sambal. Pretty good, but not as good as....

The sambal stingray is something I can dream about eating everyday. The stingray is ordinary, but the sambal is out of this world. It's just the right mix of sweetness and spice. It's not too oily, and I could go on dousing my rice with it without the need for fish.

The total bill, including a serve of veg, came up to about $24, which we felt was good value.

If you're still hungry, make sure you try the durian milkshake at the fruit juice stall to the right of Rong Guang. It's absolutely heavenly : )
