Halal seafood bucket spots worth getting your hands dirty at


I’m sure that by now everyone is no stranger to seafood buckets, where you have a bucket full of sumptuous seafood doused in rich, savoury sauces. As if that’s not jaw-dropping enough, you’ll be asked to empty it onto a table covered with plastic sheets. The best part about it is that you can drop your dining etiquette and feast on the luxurious spread using your hands with or without gloves. Control your salivary glands and be prepared for what’s to come, as we bring you on a journey of halal seafood bucket places we have on our shores.  


1. Mr Wholly

For those who don’t know yet, Mr Wholly is no longer located at Satay by the Bay; they are now operating at hipster halal food court FOMO. Spanning at 7,000 square feet, this newly opened hipster food court is a must-go for everyone. Both their interior and food are Insta-worthy, and will definitely up your IG game.

Customise your seafood bucket by first choosing a type of seafood, such as Happy Clams ($19), Browny Prawns ($20), or Wholly Crab ($30). They have a variety of sauces available – original, chilli kicap, creamy cheese, tom yum cream, laksa, curry, and sambal – so make sure to take your time to pick one.

Add $1 for a plate of rice to go along with your bucket. If you need your potato fix, they also have Cheesy Fries ($8.90) as a side. We went there previously for a vlog to try their nasi lemak seafood ambeng and it was legit. So call up your friends and check this place out before their queue gets longer!

Whenever I walk past PasarBella in Suntec City, I never fail to be amazed by this market filled with not-your-everyday food stalls. One of them is halal seafood bucket stall Cajun on Wheels that adopts a Louisiana style in their food. Their storefront is the easiest to spot, as it stands out from the rest with a giant smiling crab perched atop a red food truck. One of the most affordable seafood buckets would be their Flexing Clams ($22), which is enough to feed two. Inside you will get 250g of mussels, 250g of clams, corn, potatoes, and chicken Spam – all doused in salted egg yolk sauce. Polish off the entire bucket and mop up every drop of the delicious sauce with the succulent morsels. If you’re a big fan of mussels, try their Mussels Stew ($23.90) which is served in a spicy tomato stew base.
