1 THE CATCH SEAFOOD RESTAURANT & BAR

The Catch Seafood Restaurant & Bar has found a new home. The Chinese seafood restaurant, which used to be in Cosford Road near Changi Prison, is now in Sunset Lane in Clementi.

The move sees no change to its culinary approach of delivering innovative twists to traditional Chinese dishes.

Diners can expect dishes such as double-boiled pig stomach soup stuffed with black chicken ($98 a pot, serves seven to 10 people); a Chinese take on a Western dish, the turducken, with deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck which is then stuffed into a deboned turkey; roasted chicken stuffed with glutinous rice ($58); and champagne pork ribs ($6.80 a piece, photo 1).

Where: Sunset Lane, Block 106 Clementi Street 12, 01-54/56
