NEWTON FOOD CENTRE - HAIYAN BBQ SEAFOOD!

If you’re a seafood lover venturing into Newton Food Centre, Haiyan BBQ Seafood is definitely a stall you shouldn't miss. What sets Haiyan apart is its dedication to authentic, bold flavors, especially their sambal stingray which is generously coated in a spicy, homemade sambal that truly excites your taste buds. The sambal here isn’t just any chili sauce; it’s rich and aromatic with a balanced heat that keeps you coming back. Beyond the sambal stingray, the menu offers a tempting variety including salted egg crab and other BBQ seafood that’s incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. Customers frequently highlight the perfectly grilled squid, which is tender rather than rubbery—a common issue with BBQ seafood stalls. The owner’s friendly demeanor and transparency in pricing (around $20 per pax) create a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. Newton Food Centre itself is a bustling hawker hub, famous for its many seafood stalls, but with Haiyan’s consistent top ratings and positive word-of-mouth, it stands out as a crowd favorite. Many patrons recommend arriving early or heading there on less busy nights to avoid long waits. Also note that the stall opens from 4 pm to 11 pm but is closed on Mondays, so plan your visit accordingly. From personal experience, the combination of the spicy sambal paired with the smoky BBQ aroma makes every bite memorable, and the freshness of the seafood shines through every dish. Whether you’re a local or a tourist exploring Singapore’s hawker culture, a stop at Haiyan BBQ Seafood promises a delicious and satisfying meal that showcases the best of Newton Food Centre’s seafood offerings.
