If  you do not want to join the queue, you can head to their second outlet which is still not known to many yet.

Kani Tofu 4.5/5

Dinner at Fukuichi Japanese Dining started with the Kani Tofu ($7). The silky smooth bean curd is comes with surprises of crab meat inside with the century egg sauce bringing the whole dish today and lifting the enjoying to the next level.

XO Chawanmushi 4.5/5

I am actually lost of words to describe the XO Chawanmushi ($14). The steamed egg with xo sauce is a first for me, Rich in flavour, smooth in texture and a tad of spiciness from the xo sauce, worked in harmony to create this excellent dish.

Gyuniku Fagura Sauce 4.2/5

Another very delectable dish is the Gyuniku Fagura Sauce ($38) that comes with tender and juicy grilled beef cubes drenched in a delish goose liver sauce.

Spider Maki 3.5/5

For some carbo intake, the Spider Maki ($18) comes stuffed with deep fried soft shell crab and cucumber. The fluffy rice, crispy soft shell crab, crunchy cucumber and popping roes all rolled up into a lovely delectable choice.

Ebi Teppanyaki 4.2/5

I am so glad that I do not need to get my hands dirty peeling the Ebi Teppanyaki ($25). The teppanyaki prawns are served peeled, tossed in a mayonnaise sauce and torched before servicing. The creaminess with smoky aroma made this a very addictive dish.

Eastern House of Seafood @ Chai Chee Drive

IMG_1870ed

If you are a foodie, you would probably often hear the saying that good food resides in the East of Singapore. It is actually quite true with the recent discovery of Eastern House of Seafood located at the HDB block in Chai Chee Drive, woking up a delectable selection of zichar dishes.

Dinosaur Pork Rib 4/5

Don't be mislead that I am having extinct meat in the Dinosaur Pork Rib ($16). The pork rib is hugemongous hence the name. The pork rib is cooked to a nice tender and fell off the bone with ease. I found the sauce on the sweet side but my friends thought otherwise.

IMG_1875ed
Fried Beehoon with Pig Trotter 4.2/5

One of my favourite dishes is the Fried Beehoon with Pig Trotter ($8/$16). The beehoon infused with the pig trotter's essence came across comforting and flavourful. Definitely a dish I would recommend ordering to go with the other delectable dishes on the menu.

IMG_1887ed
Dry Roast Sotong 4.5/5

The Dry Roast Sotong ($15/$22/$28) is a must try at Eastern House of Seafood. Marinated overnight with soy sauce and celery, the sotong is understand to be bathed in hot oil instead of grill. It results in a tender sotong with the marinade kind of glued to the flesh. Every bite into the flesh is returned with a burst of lovely flavours.

French Bean in Tempura Style 3.8/5

I have mixed review of the French Bean in Tempura Style ($15/$20/$25). I think kids will enjoy this with the crispy tempura. However for adult like me probably felt that the batter masked off the natural flavour of the greens.

IMG_1895ed
Prawn with Pork Floss and Rice Cracker 4.2/5

The Prawn with Pork Floss with Rice Cracker is a new dish that the chef prepared for us, this is not even in the menu. The is an addictive change from the usual cereal prawn/ The crunchy prawns accompanied by the pork floss and rice cracker, provides a multi textural enjoyment.

IMG_1883ed
Salted Egg Crab 4.5/5

While Chilli and Black Pepper Crabs are the favourite among manys, I felt that Salted Egg Crabs (2 for $50) has won the hearts of many too, especially those that can't take spicy. At Eastern House of Seafood, the version is consider the dry style using crabs around 500 to 600 grams. One just need to get into it and get your fingers dirty. It is simply finger licking good.

IMG_1893ed
Assam Fish Head 4.5/5

When the Assam Fish Head ($18/$20) was served, the first thing I noticed is the huge portion for the price. This is really value for money. The rich and robust assam gravy with its spiciness and tanginess, made this super shiok! Give me another bowl of rice!

If you are looking for a place to have a good zi char dinner with your family or gathering, I would recommend Eastern House of Seafood. The pricing is very reasonable with good quality and delicious food.
