Sambal prawns ($6) are a popular option at Rendezvous Restaurant Hock Lock Kee, thanks in a big way to the sambal. Other popular options include the curry chicken and the beef rendang. The restaurant has 70 years of history, and it knows how to get the crowd in, so it is best to make a reservation before you turn up.

At Wan He Lou, you have to order the comforting signature dish, Lobster Porridge (from $31.90). This Teochew-style porridge has a roe-rich stock, with lobster meat under a blanket of spring onions. Eating this has to be one of the best ways to spend a rainy evening.

A hearty stew is one of the best ways to enjoy any sort of seafood, especially if there is a robust stock and fresh seafood.
At Mi Casa Kitchen & Bar, ask for the Crab Bongo Stew ($20). This is a Louisiana-style stew, which means you should expect lots of spices and flavours, with a crab, prawn and clam stock.
