We've returned to the unlucky Block 118 of Commonwealth Crescent. That's the corner that has such a great turnover of restaurants that it's difficult to keep up with. It's latest occupant is Lucky Star Kitchen 118, which other than its signs and displays, is identical to its predecessor Chuan Ye Seafood Zichar. Even the menu is the same, with no change in name. The serving staff are also the same.

Can we expect the same high quality of cooking? Fortunately, yes. This time, my parents are present, so we decide to splurge a little by ordering my father's other favourite dish - crab. So, we get two Sri Lankan crabs, about 1 kg in weight, and have it in black pepper. The crabs are quite small, but the taste is right up there, befitting the status of Singapore's national dish.

In addition, we also got White Beehoon, Prawns in Garlic sauce and one vegetable, as Janet always insists in greens. There are prawns and Asari clams in the white beehoon, and there's tanghoon (clear noodles) in the garlic prawns, so it's a duplication of sorts. However, the flavours of both dishes are different, so there's little chance of palate fatigue. My parents are more than satisfied, and this looks like a place to return, unless it closes down for the next turnover. So keep fingers crossed.
