The food at Joyden Seafood is so good, I'm surprised how it's not more popular. Well, sorta. The restaurant is at West Coast Recreation, and the main entrance is cheekily located in the basement carpark. The first time I went, we wandered around the carpark for a bit looking a way in. Formerly known as The West Coast Seafood, it has since then revamped its menu and restaurant and is now one of the best-kept secrets in my 'hood.
We ordered the Cream Crab (1kg for $60+) that was highly recommended by the waitress. The sauce is a combination of milk and pumpkin puree, and earned nods of approval around the table. Dipping deep fried Mantou into the creamy sauce was pure heaven. The crab meat was also firm and succulent retained its sweetness with a tinge of pumpkin. One of the best crabs I had! (4.5/5).
Their Cereal Prawns (de-shelled) was the other star of the night. The stir-fried curry-laced cereal was crisp, fragrant and not at all greasy. The curry powder lends a different spin to this traditional dish and this innovative combination gave the dish another dimension. We left no cereal untouched. Highly recommended. (4.3/5)
Crab Meat Fried Rice was another well-received dish. Fried with crab meat and egg white, the fried rice was fragrant and had a tinge of 'wok hei'. My only grip was wishing there was more crab meat in there. (4/5)
The Three Egg Vegetable (spinach) was sadly mediocre. (3.5/5)
