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.
Here are our top six must-tries:
3. Dinosaur Pork Ribs, $16
Unlike the short and deep fried morsels of pork ribs so often served at other zichar restaurants, these Dinosaur Pork Ribs are served whole and huge. In fact, each one exceeds the length of my entire palm.
Cloaked in a light and slightly garlicky-sweet sauce, these tender ribs are a joy to savour. Bonus? There’s none of that undesirable starchy taste at all.
