81 Seafood Restaurant

Interesting restaurant with aircon and alfresco dining below a hdb block.

Served up a full selection of Chinese zi char dishes including crabs.

Interesting place right below a HDB block, matter of fact we could see the lift landing for those staying on the second level. The restaurant served up a good selection of items on the menu and service was pretty prompt though we had to wait for about 30 mins for our food as the place is pretty packed and we didn't make prior reservations.

We had a total of 10 dishes for a family of 11 and serving size was okay however the rice serving was smaller than usual and we had to order extra. Otherwise food is pretty well executed with steamed fish, fresh and well cooked, venison in braised sauce a tad saltish, fried chilli mussels clean and generous in serving size, as well as yummy pork ribs which is soft and tender, ample in taste.

I would also like to mention the "jia xiang" special in house tofu which is a large rectangular fried tofu with braised meat sauce. Especially yummy and good with children and adults.

1 meal of 10 dishes for 11pax with some bottles of beers, drinks and extra rice cost us about $305, and judging by the quality of food, though no GST and Service charge is a little high for a location such as this. The restaurant is not near any main roads and is below a hdb block pretty deep in the Heartland.. Kinda like back lane of back lanes.. however the residences staying around the area would be very pleased for a joint such as this. Interior deco is suitable to hold small birthday parties with a private area to be cordoned off and karaoke available. Pretty nifty for a HDB void deck Restaurant. Nice and cosy, complete with restroom facilities...
