Although this would not be considered a hawker center, we ventured out to Vivo City on Tuesday, due to the heavy rain that prevented us from going to our hawker joints. The No Signboard Seafood Restaurant is located at the top floor at Vivo City, with quite a few branches around Singapore also.
We made sure we did not order too much food, our usual habit we have when eating. This establishment had quite a number of people despite being a weekday, showing the popularity of this place. The first dish was the vegetables, where we ordered the stir fried garlic dou miao or pea shoots. This light dish was nice, not too much garlic taste to give it away. The second dish was the black sauce hokkien mee, a popular favourite that is often eaten by us. Gravy was generous and the portion serving was just nice for two people, with each of us having two bowls of noodles each. The seafood on the noodles was fresh and I was glad that the taste did not overkill.
Lastly, the awaited chilli crab arrived. It was quite a huge crab for us. They were very generous with the gravy and we ate it with the 'man tou' that we ordered. The gravy was really spicy, and you can feel the heat going down your throat. The crab was fresh and meat was tender. The restaurant had already cracked the crab thus it was easy to peel off the shell. However, we realised that we could not each much of the gravy as it was quite starchy. If you want, you could actually takeaway the gravy as there was really quite a lot left, something that waffle wanted to do! On the hold, the side dishes were quite nice, but the main dish loses out to big established seafood chains that we have around Singapore.
