Another restaurant review post - this time its Irvin’s Irvin’s Seafood Cze Char, River Valley Road, Singapore. This was a farewell for a colleague and a colleague’s boyfriend, both of whom were moving back to their home countries. Seems to happen quite a bit since Singapore is a popular interim place to move to, chill out, gain some Asian work experience and then head back.
Pin This is their specialty though - Sri Lankan crabs in salted egg sauce. The salted egg base is not common so that makes the dish special and at SGD 18 a plate, its considered a steal.
I am not a huge fan of crab but I did try the sauce and it was pretty creamy and.. salty. In a nice way.
Pin As most restaurants in Singapore do, they offer fresh coconut water. Its delicious, especially after a hard day’s work. Anyway, the weather in Singapore always qualifies for chilled coconut water.
Pin This here is sliced fish, served in a spicy sauce with tons and tons of curry leaves. Its delicious. It reminds me of all the good things about Indian food, although it doesn’t really taste Indian. Thumbs up.

Pin Hong Kong style steamed ginger fish. Looks bland but the gingery flavour is quite strong. I generally feel a bit off if the fish is whole so I barely tasted this.
Pin Sesame chicken. Deliciousness under ½ kg seasoning of roasted sesame. Enough said.
Pin The batter fried squid appetizer. I don’t like the texture of squid. Pass.
Pin Claypot Tofu. This is all TH got to eat. With rice of course. It was very good though and the snap peas were fresh and cooked just right.
