We took full advantage of the balmy weather and found an unoccupied table in the shade out on the sidewalks.

I’m on the lookout of good restaurants in the west and I was elated to chance upon this restaurant which is highly raved by many food bloggers. This place was really secluded and it’s not easily accessible without driving. We were there on a Sunday night and I was surprised that the restaurant was packed despite its ulu- location.
The Sweet Potato Leaves with Salted Fish came in a claypot, which was too salty. (2.5/5)
We also ordered Salted Egg Squid. Each piece was well coated with salted egg and was not greasy at all. I wish the salted egg taste was more distinct though (3.5)
Another dish we tried that night was Bee Hoon with Clams. The broth which was cooked with clams was sweet and light and went really well with bee hoon. This was one of the better dish we had that night but it still lacked the ‘wow’ factor and crustacean unami I was looking for(3.5/5)

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).
