Cuttlefish and kangkong with sambal, plus BBQ seafood at East Coast Lagoon Food Village.
Mei Qi Cuttlefish Kangkong BBQ Seafood is a stall at East Coast Lagoon Food Village that serves a beloved Singapore hawker classic: cuttlefish and kangkong (water spinach) tossed in a sweet, savoury-sweet sauce with a dollop of sambal chilli. The dish combines tender slices of blanched cuttlefish with crisp kangkong, all coated in a distinctive sauce that balances sweet, sour, and spicy notes. It is a nostalgic favourite that harks back to old-school hawker flavours. The stall also offers BBQ seafood items, extending its menu to include grilled stingray, prawns, and sotong for diners looking for a heartier meal. The East Coast Lagoon Food Village setting, with its open-air dining by the coast, enhances the experience with sea breezes and a relaxed atmosphere. The stall is a popular stop for families and groups enjoying a weekend meal along the East Coast. For cuttlefish kangkong done right and BBQ seafood by the sea, Mei Qi at East Coast Lagoon delivers heritage flavours. Order both and make a meal of it.Operating Hours

Fried rice was refridgerated and not heated up properly and cold at some parts.. For $10 at a hawker centre we expected way better. The lemon chicken was also overbearingly sweet and 90% batter. Skip this stall in favour of the 100 others at East Coast Lagoon food centre.

Ordered sea snails and cockles. They weren’t purged so it was sandy. They weren’t fresh as well and was overcooked, as it was refrigerated then heated up. …
Khai
The stingray came in an extremely small and pathetic portion. Service was poor too.

Thumbs up for food and service. The sambal used with the stingray was packed with flavour and the serving size was decent for the price. …

Delicious but only a few cuttlefish. Quite expensive
