Sin Huat Seafood - A Scam!!
Ever heard of this famous Geylang Crab Bee Hoon?? My boss has been talking about this place for the longest time.. He claims that (a clear Phua Chu Kang Rip-off) it is the best in Singapore, JB, and some say Batam.. He also admits that there is some attitude problem with the staff there but the food is with attitude too..

Let me tell you.. THE FOOD HAS NO ATTITUTE AT ALL - period! And yes, the staff there has the f**king worse attitude you can ever encounter and the price there is atrociously HIGH!!

Okie let me begin with the story of how we ended up there and how I get the experience of my lifetime..

One evening, coz Benjamin and Elena won this bet we had on some EGM decision, we decided to go have a nice dinner (lolz of course spending their winning $$).. And since Benjamin has been talking abt this crab bee hoon for so long, claiming that it beats the AMK one flat down, we all finally went there.. Before going, we had this knowledge that once Benjamin went there with another bunch of colleagues and knowing that the wait is super long, one of them being on leave, decided to go order first.. However, the rude cook and waitress REFUSE to let her order giving the excuse that all of them are not there yet, even though the place was nowhere near pack *argghh*..

Still.. We decided to go there..

I was one of the later batch to go.. Benjamin and another 4 colleagues went ahead first to order @ 630pm.. Upon reaching at 7pm, we heard that Benjamin tried to order 3 crabs but the cook (who is the only person taking order) REFUSE to let Benjamin order 3 crabs and said that if he doesnt order other dishes, he will cut his order down to 1 crab.. Yes he THREATEN us!! Fine, so Benjamin ordered veg, prawn and scallop.. After sitting down, this auntie came and take our orders for drinks.. And my colleague wanted hot barley and this woman replied "Huh hot barley?? Don't have.. We only got cold one.. Take it or leave it!!".. Yes this is the attitude we get THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DINNER!!!! And if this is not bad enough.. Do you know how long we waited for the first dish, which is veg btw, to come?? 2 bloody hours!!! Our first dish only came at 8+pm.. And, the food DID NOT come one after another.. Its serve this way: Veg came, wait 20 mins, scallop and prawn came, wait an hr, crab bee hoon finale.. It took us 4 FREAKING HOURS to complete ONE MEAL lar!! Wedding dinner also not so long!! And the attitude of the ppl there jus went tumblin down the hill!!

One example, when the first dish painstakingly came, we wanted to eat it with rice.. And since there is more than 10 of us, of course we ask for 10 bowls of rice lar.. The bloody auntie gave us the utmost startled look and started muttering on y we eat so much =.='' WTH! Anyway I end up eating plain rice coz it took forever for it and the other dishes to come.. I was close to fainting from hunger.. Wat choice did I have except plain rice???

And so the dinner went on and its time to settle the bill.. The freaking ppl there took forever to calculate the bill too!!! We were all trying to coerce Benjamin to leave with us and forget about paying.. But he wont hear of it, and he still tried to negotiate with this other waitress asking them to charge us cheaper.. The waitress replied (in chinese): "I never cheat you already very good, you still ask for discount!" Crazy grumpy cantankerous bitch!!!

Okie now it becomes exciting.. Despite all the bad service, hrs and bad food we had to suffer... Guess how much the bill came up to?? We went round making guesses and my guess was S$500 (which is already jacked up becoz Benjamin said that place is even more expensive than a 5-star hotel).. Remember we only had Veg, Prawn, Scallop and a stupid Crab Bee Hoon??? = 4 dishes only for 12 ppl...

*drum rolls*

FREAKING 580 BUCKS!!!!!

The crab alone, which is the only dish I took pic of since IT IS THE ONLY THING I WAITED MORE THAN 3 FREAKING HOURS WAITING FOR IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, is 200 bucks!!! (70 bucks PER CRAB!!!)

 

See how happy Sharon is looking at the crab that finally arrived..

Okie lets continue.. The scallop is 100 bucks and the prawns cost 190 bucks.. The rest of the stuff (rice, drinks and veg) adds up to abt another 100 bucks..

This is CRAZY!! I tell you..

This restaurant is called Sin Huat Seafood and its in Geylang Lorong 35.. It looks like some rundown coffee shop and it doesnt even fix its lighting (which is mostly down already).. 

If you wanna feel this experience and be a carrot at the same time.. Be my guest~~ 

 

This is my colleague's kid who was entertaining me thruout the dinner and is the only reason y I am nt hurling cusses and swearing at all the staff there.. Luckily his mother had foresight to da bao his dinner along, if nt he most prob wld have died of hunger..

*piss off*
