三爷 San Ye Seafood — Zi char & seafood kopitiam stall with over 170 dishes, opened by 3 buddies

For the Easties who regularly patronise BK Eating House at 824 Tampines Street 81, you may have noticed a new zi char and seafood stall called 三爷 San Ye Seafood, which recently opened on 20 Jan 2024.

The establishment is setup by 3 good buddies, Henry, Justin and Jerome, who have never stepped into the realm of F&B until now. The menu features a good mix of seafood and classic stir-fried favourites spanning over 170 dishes on the menu.

Before I introduce their menu offerings, let me mention that 三爷 San Ye Seafood is running a current promotion (ongoing till further notice) every Mon to Thu on the following dishes:

• Slipper Lobster (S$18 for 3)
• Curry Fish Head (S$15, U.P S$28)
• Deep Fried Seabass (S$15)
• Black Pepper Crab (S$49.90 for 2)

Where do I even begin with the menu? If you’re a solo diner and are looking for a simple, no-frills kind of option, lookout for their rice sets such as Curry Pork Rice (S$7), Mongolian Chicken Rice (S$7), Gong Bao Fish Rice (S$7.50) and Shrimp Tofu Rice (S$8).

Explore their range of zi char dishes like Lala Bee Hoon Soup (S$7), Beef Fried Rice (S$8/S$12) and Seafood Mee Goreng (S$6/S$10).

Obsessed about Crabs (Seasonal Price)? They’ve got you covered with 6 different flavours for you to choose from like White Pepper, Salted, Cream, Steamed, Chilli and Black Pepper.

Warm your bodies with a piping-hot bowl of soup during a cold, rainy day like Seaweed Soup (S$7/S$15), Fish Head Soup (S$7/S$15) and Fish Maw Soup / Crab Meat & Dry Scallop (S$20/S$30).
