Quan Le Yan Seafood
i am pretty sure the Chinese characters on the signboard reads 泉乐园 (Quan Le Yuan), so whoever did this to their official name must have gotten lost in translation. nonetheless, family-run Teochew restaurants like this are fast-becoming endangered, and a really authentic one certainly deserves special mention..
the harmless looking exterior actually conceals the fact that it was packed on the inside. anyone intending to come here should certainly have made a reservation before hand. their signature dishes are traditional Teochew servings and are limited in supply. we were fortunate to be able to order their popular cold steamed-crabs.. 
steamed crabs can be a relatively foreign concept to the Singaporean clientèle when eating-out. but Quan Le Yan's serving of their signature dish exemplifies why crabs do not necessarily need to be prepared with other famous condiments often found here (note this, Ramsay!). the crabs were fresh and well-blended with eggs, giving it a very refreshing flavour.. 
other must trys include their braised duck (above), hay cho (or deep fried prawn meat-roll) and oyster egg omelette. everything you'd need to please a teochew girl's parents if you're taking them out for the first time. sadly, we missed out on their famous chai-po kway teow because their kway teow was sold out by the time we arrived. to ensure you get to savour all the popular Teochew dishes whipped up by this crack-in-the-wall joint, don't forget to call them up to make a reservation, not only for the seats, but also for them to set aside the crabs, duck and kway teow for you..
