    Our Story

    鑊氣Chef Danny Lee at the wokCredits: Makansutra

    Chef Danny Lee

    Sin Huat starts and ends with Chef Danny Lee. He learned zi char at the stove, over fierce heat, one plate at a time, and built his kitchen on a simple rule: buy the best seafood you can find, and don't get in its way.

    There was never a glossy menu. Regulars tell him what they feel like and he cooks it, with the kind of wok hei you only get from decades at the same fire.

    One dish, done properly

    The crab beehoon is the dish people cross the island for. Every crab is alive until you order it and weighs over a kilo. The beehoon goes into the pot with the crab and drinks up everything the shell gives off.

    It's not a cheap plate, and it's not meant to be. It's what years of getting one thing right tastes like.

    When Bourdain came to Geylang

    Discovery Channel's hosts brought Anthony Bourdain to Sin Huat a year before A Cook's Tour. He came back to feature us in the show's Singapore episode, called the crab beehoon his favourite meal in Singapore, and later put us on his list of must-visit restaurants in Men's Health.
