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.

5. Tempura Prawns, $15
This might easily be the most novel item on the menu, considering tempura is a word you rarely see at zichar stalls.
While they’ve done a good job of battering the prawns and French beans to crisp perfection, the juiciness of the beans seemed to have been frittered away in the process.
