We ordered the duo plus bag with medium level spiciness. Also had the soft shell crab salad which was excellent. Food came quickly and service was as expected. Plastic bibs were provided to prevent the sauce from getting on one’s clothes. There’s a couple of...sinks to wash your hands after the meal too. Enjoyed our dinner thoroughly.More

Lobster give away is great for birthdays, one must buy the BAG which costs SGD180+. Fair enough although you are somehwhat paying for the 'free' lobster. Wine had to be ordered by the bottle and not sold as glasses, having said that, the wine selection...arent fantastic and the bottle we had to buy, wasnt good just drinkable for the not cheap bottle of red.More

For the price paid, we could have gotten much tastier seafood from our regular black pepper crab and chilli crab restaurants. The seafood here just tastes like boiled seafood with bottled sauce. The bombdiggity bag is supposedly meant for 4 persons, but if not for...the free lobster (birthday promo) and extra 2 orders of mantou buns, it wouldn't have been enough for my family of 4. The ice lemon tea is almost tasteless - very diluted. They charge $3.90 for the refillable tea, but they don't refill unless you keep waving your arm to get their attention or walk over to them to ask.More

We had a great birthday celebration at Howard Road Boiler on 4th Dec. Our first time at this branch and we love the ambience and superb service by the branch manager and her team. The sambal sauce for the seafood's bag was awesome!

I went to Boiler at Howard Road for the very first time with my family. Many attempts we try to book a reservation on same day when we decided to dine out. Perhaps, I have the birthday luck that day to get a reservation. We...are very excited and ordered a Boiler's Bombdiggity bag with a free lobster as a birthday compliment. The seafoods are very juicy fresh and the foods was served pretty fast. We also ordered several starters and salad to test it out. The crispy soft shell crab salad was very delicious. There is also the happy hour drinks deals that come great. There are few tables celebrates birthday on that day and only disappointment was my table no birthday cake. Birthday cake with candle light was served only at selected table. I only get my one small slice of cake as take away when asked. I hope dinners can allowed to bring own birthday cake since not all birthday table can get the birthday cake.More
