Sei Enam Seafood Batam Centre — Restaurant in Batam City

A very excellent seafood experience. A short one hour ferry ride from Singapore will get you there. We came for the Singapore chili crab as well as the black pepper crab and boy they did not disappoint. Both were delicious. The Singapore chili crab sauce was amazing especially when you dunk the fried bread (man tou) into it. The man tou was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside which was perfect for soaking up the sauce. It is very addictive and you can go through about 10 of them easily. The crab was fantastic. The meat was sweet and firm. One bite and you can taste how fresh it is. If you love Singaporean chili crab then you have to give this place a try when you get to Batam. Now for the black pepper crab. This is a dried fried style without the sauciness of the Singaporean style. The crab is laced with black pepper which hits you right away. It is spicy peppery goodness that you will not forget. The spiciness of the pepper works really well with the sweetness of the crab meat. If you like things spicy then this one's for you. Although both were amazing personally I loved the Singaporean style because I can soak all the sauce up with the man tou.

I was told Batam is known for its seafood. From what I have experienced at Sei Enam they are not wrong. This place has great ambience, a large selection of seafood dishes and killer Singaporean and black pepper crab that would give the top Singaporean restaurants a run for their money. If you are ever in Singapore, take that ferry ride to Batam and try...

Great experience and it was an unexpected find while walking randomly. Parking might be a little hard here but if you're taking a grab then fret not.

We ordered the following items: -Black pepper crab (was decent but I would try other items instead as it's more on the expensive side) -Salted egg squid (delightfully crunchy batter despite the salted egg sauce) ❤️ -Tom yum soup (spicy yet super flavourful and full of ingredients) ❤️ -Cereal prawn (great tasting prawn and we couldn't stop eating the cereal) ❤️ -Steamed gong-gong (fresh and goes great with the chilli/black pepper sauce) ❤️ -Fruit juices (we tried a variety of them and they were all legit, they do it fresh to order every time)❤️

There were even crackers to compliment the meal. Do take note you have to pay for this if you're planning to eat them!

We didn't regret coming here at all it was so delicious and the price was affordable. There are no complaints coming here except my stomach can't fit all the good food.

We'll definitely come...

After many disappointing “seafood restaurant” experience, we went to try this. Beside the price, the quality of the food was superb, the staff got one of our wrong but rectify upon telling them, one of the dishes that we order didn’t turn up but we are glad to let it go as we order too much for 2 adults and one kid.

Damage - 2 x crab at 0.5kg each, 1 x veggie, 1 x omelette, 1 x prawn, 1 x gong gong, 2 x mantou, 1 x rice and drinks = 750000

I rarely write review, but to those that don’t mind spent abit on quality food, this is so far the best we came across, staff is extremely friendly, place is clean, food is good and best part is they allow gojek or grab booking unlike some restaurants that do not allow that.

I tipped two of the staff after paying for the meal. Well, i think for most, we don’t mind paying more for quality. Will definitely come back next time we...
