A beloved BBQ seafood stall at East Coast Lagoon since 1996, famed for its sambal stingray with a 20-ingredient chilli.
Stingray Forever BBQ Seafood has been a fixture at East Coast Lagoon Food Village since 1996, when founder Mr Paul set up the stall to fill a gap in BBQ seafood options at the hawker centre. The star of the menu is the BBQ sambal stingray, a thick slab of meat grilled with a generous coat of homemade sambal made from over twenty ingredients, including peanuts that add a nutty depth to the tangy-spicy sauce. The stall also offers garlic butter stingray for those who prefer a milder profile, alongside sambal lala, grilled squid, and chilli or black pepper crab. Each stingray is cooked with the sambal rather than having it slathered after, so the spices permeate the flesh. Open from 4:30pm, the stall is a go-to dinner spot by the sea. If you are at East Coast Lagoon, Stingray Forever serves up the quintessential Singapore BBQ seafood experience.Operating Hours

The stingray is mushy and is not fresh at all. The sambal to the kangkong taste ermmm "unique". The rice is either uncooked/overnight. I will only give points to only their salted egg sotong. Very dissapointing to my entire table of friends.

Best seafood ever! Repeated customer over the years . I only patronize their store when I come here . Good price and good food ! However the kai lan I ate got no taste. It's like just soak in hot water only.

A thick slab of stingray with flavourful sambal. While pricier than most of the other shops which start at $12/15/18 in tiers, this only has a single size at $18. They seem to prepare this en-masse at peak hours however – when I ordered, I …
