The stingray is not grilled, most likely steam or microwave. The flesh is soooo fishy n tasteless. The lala even funnier.. stir fry lala with chilli crab sauce? Which genius thought of this??? Terrible option

We ordered the Char Kway Teow, Sambal Stingray, and Chicken Wings during our visit. The highlight of the meal was definitely the chicken wings. They were flavourful, well-seasoned, and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the Char Kway Teow fell short of expectations. It was missing the all-important wok hei (wok-fired aroma) that gives a good Char Kway Teow its distinctive character and depth of flavour. The Sambal Stingray was also disappointing. While the sambal itself was acceptable, the fish lacked the grilled flavour that makes this dish special. It felt more like the sambal had simply been placed on top of the stingray rather than being properly grilled together to allow the flavours to blend. Singapore has many excellent hawker stalls and seafood places serving these same dishes, and based on our experience, there are plenty of other places that do them much better. Overall, the chicken wings were good, but the Char Kway Teow and Sambal Stingray did not live up to our expectations.

Delicious Seafood Dinner Had a fantastic dinner at Ming Yen Seafood Restaurant! 🍽️ Ordered the BBQ Fish, Steamed Fish, Cereal Prawn, Toufu, a veggie dish, and fried crispy baby squid for 3 pax (small size). Wow, the portions were huge! Highlights were the Cereal Prawn and fried crispy baby squid - finger-licking good! 😋 Food was sumptuous and super tasty. Post-dinner, hit up Best Satay 7 & 8 next door - their satay was a hit with my Chinese friends from mainland China! Chicken and beef satay were spot-on, and that peanut sauce 🤤. Highly recommend both spots if you're in the area!

We recently dined at a seafood restaurant in Raffles Quay, eager to satisfy our craving for crab. After checking out the menu and chatting with the staff, we decided to go for the chili crab (priced at $50), expecting it to be a bit pricey given the location. The crab was served as a small portion, suitable for two rather than the three people we’d hoped for. Nonetheless, the flavor was good—spicy and satisfying, though nothing out of the ordinary. We also ordered the lemon chicken, priced at $16, which was supposed to serve three people but felt more like a two-person portion. To complete our meal, we added a single-serving fried rice for $6, which tasted fine. The place was bustling, so we shared our table with others, which was a unique experience—definitely a reflection of how popular this spot is. Overall, despite minor portion surprises, we enjoyed the meal, and I was especially happy to see my wife enjoy herself. A satisfying experience with some crowd-induced quirks, but great for a casual seafood meal!

Came here to have the Chili Crab that is famous. The portion and quantity was good but honestly we can't compare it to others as this is the only place we have had the chilly crab. The chilly crab cost was $50 which we felt was a fair price. But honestly we don't know how much other hawker Street vendors charge. They provide you with gloves to comfortably eat York, chilly crab. They have a fairly large menu with a variety of dishes to choose from. The pricing seems fairly reasonable. The staff was helpful enough to break the crab and give it to us and the service was pretty fast. We didn't have to wait a very long time. Taste wise the chili crab was fairly good, but coming from an Indian background especially go and Portuguese, we have had more tasty and delicious crab meals. But since we were here in Singapore and this apparently is one of the must try dishes we have to go for it. It wasn't disappointing but it wasn't that great.
