Goodyear
Seafood Village is located in Tampines Avenue, just off Tampines Link
nearby the temple. Although this place is slightly secluded, don't be
surprised when you see a full car park especially during dinner time.
We actually have know this place for a while back, as their
traditional fish head steamboat is very good. However last year the
food quality fell dramatically. It seem that everything is back to
the good times, with new signature dishes to tantalise your taste
buds.
The current Goodyear Seafood has two sections. There is a section which is air-conditioned which filled up quite fast, and the coffeeshop / outdoor. This review is based on our two recent visits to this establishment.
Assam Fish Head ($25). One of the
Chef's recommendation dish. The fish head is fresh and done properly.
The Assam gravy which was thick, tangy, slightly spicy and sweet
really opens up your appetite and really goes well with the white
rice.

Bak Kut Teh – Pontian Style
($11) & Kidney and Liver for BKT ($5). One of the recent addition
to this restaurant. The BKT is has a stronger herbal flavour compare
to the Teochew BKT version, however the herbs not as strong as Klang
BKT. The soup is very comforting, while the meat is tender and huge.
Little Devil and I actually like the extra care in the way they serve
the liver and kidney. To ensure that it is not over cook after they
blanched it to the right doneness, they serve the soup separately.
So when you eat the liver and kidney, you will get the right texture.

Salted Egg Fish skin ($15). What
else can you ask for? Crispy fish skin with the saltiness of salted
egg. This dish basically just speak for itself. Cereal Beancurd
($16). The egg beancurd is fried properly and the soft texture of the
cereal is just so inviting to accompany the rice or other dishes. The
price of the beancurd is slightly overpriced though.

For the vegetables, we tried Bean
Sprout with Salted Fish ($10) & French Bean ($7). The bean sprout
is quite oily but has a good “wok hei”. The French Bean is fresh
and crunchy, topped with mince dried prawns. Simple yet delicious.

During our first visit, the
service staff recommended German Roast Pork Knuckle ($22). This dish
is actually quite disappointing. The skin is not fried evenly as some
of the skin is chewy instead of crispy. The sauce and the pork
knuckle seems does not goes well with each other. Although the staff
is very proud of their pork knuckle, I personally would not order it
again.

Service in this establishment is
very minimum. There is only two service staff that take the order, so
during the busy period, it is very difficult to get their attention.
The rest of the support staff will help in delivering food, getting
rice or drink and clean up the table. So do keep your expectation of
the service in check. At least there is no Service Charge popping up
in your bill.
Overall, Goodyear Seafood Village
is a Zi Char establishment. They have some nice dishes on their
Chef's Recommendation section and the BKT is definitely a must try.
Price is very reasonable and the best part is they do not charge GST
and Service Tax. For weekend dinner, just make sure you make
reservation if you want the seat in air conditioned section. Cheers!!
