The Boiler brings the concept of the American seafood boil to its second outlet at the Esplanade, complete with all the traditional spices, side dishes, cracking crustaceans and a stroke of culinary genius called the Lobsicle.

There's casual, and then there's Boiler-style casual. The kind of casual that lets you get down and dirty, in the tastiest way possible, with your meal. The Boiler features a laidback set up, allowing you to choose your fresh seafood to be boiled to order. You can go a la carte, but the Bombdiggity Bag with Dungeness crab, prawns, mussels, sausage and corn offers tons of bang for your buck. Next, choose a sauce ranging from slightly piquant to can't-feel-your-lips spicy. Your sack of goodies is prepared and then poured directly onto the paper-topped table. Formality is tossed aside along with the shells as you dig in to get to every nook and cranny of the succulent seafood, taking the phrase "finger-licking good" very literally. Bibs are included.

Located near the tourist attractions like the Singapore Flyer and Merlion, The Boiler is a real find for lunch, when the usual seafood feast is fine-tuned to the mid-day meal. Tidy but still decadent dishes like Fish & Chips, the Ultimate Burger with caramelized onions, and Prawn Pasta Soup are great options. Any-time sides like the succulent fried Lobsicle on a stick, Sweet Potato Fries, and Momma's Scoop with an indulgently cheesy dip, are all worth the calorie splurge. After all, it's not every day that you get to go elbow deep into amazing Louisiana-style seafood. So head on down and live it up! (Jun 2018)

"This Cajun joint serves up the usual suspects of a seafood boil - inspired by its owners' first trip to The Boiling Crab in LA. For a full-on feast, try the Bombdiggity Bag ($139), which comes with enough Dungeness or brown crabs, prawns, clams, sausages, mussels and corn to feed four." -Expat Living
