Chin Huat Live Seafood
A Sunset Way live seafood restaurant with lobster, golden sauce crab and premium crab bee hoon.
Chin Huat Live Seafood has operated since 1982 and is based at Sunset Way in Clementi. The restaurant is built around live seafood kept in tanks until cooking, with signatures including live Australian southern rock lobster, live golden sauce crab and live Alaskan king crab wok hei bee hoon. Its menu also includes zi char favourites, wagyu beef hor fun, salted egg yolk golden eggplant and desserts such as coconut pudding and orh nee. Chin Huat also states an honest weight guarantee, with live seafood weighed in front of diners.
Chin Huat is the choice for diners who care about live tanks and seafood handling more than city-centre convenience. The golden sauce crab and Alaskan king crab bee hoon give it a clear personality, and the Sunset Way location keeps the experience more neighbourhood than tourist. It is especially good for families who want lobster, crab and zi char sides in one meal. The trade-off is accessibility: unless you live in the west or drive, it takes more planning.
It earned a place for its long live-seafood track record, distinctive crab dishes and strong west-side reputation among serious seafood diners.
