As a heartlander who's spent most of her youth at the foodie enclave that is Ang Mo Kio, I've been incredibly spoilt for choice when it comes to quality zichar.
So trust me when I say this hidden gem all the way in the East, is worth the travel. Despite its grandiose name, Eastern House of Seafood Delicacy is a nondescript zichar restaurant located under a HDB block at Chai Chee Drive.
Walls are covered with some newspaper clippings as well as photos of their signature dishes, taken from food bloggers who've left them with great reviews.
At first glance, the menu items look like standard zichar fare, but there's more than meets the eye.

The fresh red snapper, with its slightly oily, white flesh, is served in an assam gravy filled with tomatoes, chopped Lady’s fingers and sweet chunks of pineapple.
They’d nailed the balance between spicy and sour, thanks to their home-made assam recipe, which features ingredients like assam seed and ginger flower.
