Singaporeans love food. In fact, we love good and cheap food. But usually, we’re forced to choose between one or the other and most times, we do not mind.
What if I were to tell you that exists such stalls in Singapore which doesn’t just sell good food but at affordable prices too?
And get this, it’s fresh seafood.
Fresh. Seafood.
The Seafood Pirates at Yishun Park Hawker Centre
According to a review on Makansutra, this 28-year-old hawker left his job as a landscape designer to start a hawker stall.
He was inspired by a seafood soup stall in Taiwan and decided to start his own stall right here in Singapore.
Yishun Park hawker centre, to be exact. Yah, that hip hawker centre.
As the name of the stall suggests, he specialises in seafood. Seafood soup, to be exact.
He uses both red and white version of miso, together with dried seafood, bones and roasted sundried sole fish bones (teepo) to make his signature broth.
Add in the fact that the stall uses fresh prawns, Spanish mackerel slices, clams, oysters, tobiko-stuffed fishballs and crayfish, and you’ll be left with one heck of a soup that you’ll never ever forget.
In fact, it might be Yishun but I bet even if you were living in the west, you’ll travel all the way just for his soup.
But That’s Not The Best Part
Remember when I promised you good and affordable right at the beginning of this sentence?
Yeah, that’s what you’re looking at right now.
The signature Pirate’s Ultimate soup will cost you just $12. And I used the word “just” because if you haven’t, read about what goes into the soup in the previous section.
A version of his ultimate without the crayfish costs only $9.
And he even has a mini-version of this soup at just $7 without crayfish and oyster.

Not a fan of soup? That’s okay because he has a $3 rice option. Expect fresh oyster omelette with seafood sauce over rice.
Fresh. Oyster. Omelette.
That’s going to cost you minimum $6 at other normal hawker stalls. Without rice.
Plus, there’s something for noodles lover too.
Seafood ramen.

Think flavourful broth with springy ramen add into the mix.
And the best part? It’s going for less than $10.
So if you happen to be a foodie that lives in Yishun, you so lucky you.

KF Seetoh’s Word For The Public
KF Seetoh, the guy at the forefront trying to expose and change social enterprise-managed hawker centres also have a wise word for the public.
While social enterprise practices might leave much to be desired, don’t boycott the hawker centres just because you’re not happy with how the centres are managed.
Because at the end of the day, hawkers are going to be the ones hurt by the food wars. The management of these food centres still get paid rental monthly.

Plus, there are gems to be found in these social-enterprise hawker centres like the Seafood Pirates.
