101
Seafood Gourmet is a new Zi Char restaurant in the crowded block 101
Yishun Ave 5. After we parked our car, we took a wrong turn exploring
the block. LD and I count there was about 5 other seafood Zi Char
restaurants in that block itself. Looks like the competition is going
to be stiffed.
To be
exact, 101 Seafood Gourmet ('101SG') is located beside POSB ATM,
which is directly near the entrance of the block 101 carpark.
Although you can not see the shop directly from the road, keep a look
out for their brightly lit signboard on the pavement.
We
started the tasting session with 101SG signature dish: Lala Bee Hoon
with Superior Broth ($20 for Large). This white colour looking broth
actually packs punch. It was robust and peppery, with a touch of
sweetness from the clams. The thin, smooth and silky bee hoon soaked
up the richness of the broth, to provide a good base for the fresh
and juicy clams. A touch of heat from the pepper, helps to arouse
your appetite for the meal.

Crab with
Bee Hoon ($38 for 2 crabs during this promotion period). Yes, the
price is correct and value for money. Of course don't expect Sri
Lankan crabs, instead 101SG uses Indonesian Crabs, to be exact the
female crabs which was fresh, sweet and filled with roe. The broth
was a little bland to my liking and missing much of the crab flavour,
especially for thick bee hoon. Although the crab was fresh and meaty,
it was not something that I will order if I return.
