East coast seafood, Singapore, that is

The most memorable meal we had in Singapore was at the Red House Seafood Restaurant at the East Coast Seafood Centre.  We didn't get to the centre till dark so really didn't get much of the waterfront flavour which we gathered was why this group of restaurants was created.  For us, it was a long haul from Clarke Quay but since the food was very good, it was worth the trip.  Singapore was also our first "seafood" stop on this trip so we were "hungry" for real seafood.  It did make me wonder though if a good restaurant in Chinatown proper might be able to serve the same seafood at a more convenient location and more palatable price.  

We are the tastiest razor clams - I would rate this as the best dish

The shrimp was good too 

Scallops steamed with vermicelli - not very big but quite tasty

Singapore is famous for the chilli crab, and for the people who can't eat hot foods, there is the black pepper crab, which we had.  While it tasted good, I still find the strong spice took away the original flavour of the crab rather than enhance it.  I can imagine even less original flavour with the chilli suace.

The restaurants at the East Coast Seafood Centre are quite basic looking but pricey.
