Mutt-chelin Guide : Because good food is a shared obsession
🦪 Humpback - Shuck, Sip, & Sit
Tucked along the charming shophouses of Bukit Pasoh Road, Humpback is a seafood bistro that blends Pacific Northwest flair with Singaporean hospitality. Whether you're a seafood aficionado or just looking for a relaxed spot to unwind with your furry friend, Humpback delivers on all fronts.
🍽️ Happy Hour Oysters!
If Mondays have a flavor, they probably taste like stale coffee and unanswered emails. But what if we told you there’s a way to flip the script, one oyster at a time?
Humpback has earned its delicious reputation for serving up some of the freshest oysters in town, sourced directly from the legendary Hama Hama Oyster Company in Washington State. These aren’t just oysters - they’re ocean-kissed gems, briny and bright, with that perfect little pop that makes you close your eyes and momentarily forget your overflowing inbox.
And here’s the magic: during Happy Hour , you can indulge in these beauties from just $2 a piece. Yup, $2 for a bite of the sea, expertly shucked and served with a side of smug satisfaction. It’s no wonder Humpback has become a go-to spot for oyster lovers looking to unwind and dine right.
And on MONDAYS - it's ALL DAY oyster happy hour. Tuesdays to Sundays, happy hour is from opening to 7pm.
Pair them with a crisp glass of white and your dog chilling beside you, and suddenly Monday feels like Friday decided to play hooky. Whether you’re fresh off a team call or just need a reset, Humpback is your answer to the blues, one slurp at a time.
Because let’s face it, therapy is great, but $2 oysters? That’s healing too. 🦪✨
If oysters (gasp) are not your thing, the grilled tiger prawns at Humpback would be giving you a wink across the table. Smoky, sweet, and perfectly charred, each prawn lands on your plate with that just-off-the-grill sizzle that makes your fork hover in anticipation. The flesh is tender, juicy, and kissed with a hint of citrus and spice. Just like a beach holiday packed into every bite.
The scent of those grilled prawns takes us back to BBQs by the beach, where the only seasoning was the salt in the air. Humpback’s version? It's as if your childhood BBQ grew up, studied abroad in Spain, and came back with a seafood diploma.
Oh, did I forget to mention the drinks? Oopsie daisy! Get ready to have your socks knocked off! Their wine selection is so extensive, it practically wears a tuxedo and waltzes right into your heart, perfectly matching all those oysters you’ll be gobbling up like a vacuum cleaner. Not a wine fan? No worries! The cocktails here are so enchanting, you’ll swear they’ve been brewed by a wizard with a flair for mixology. Here’s to not being let down, bottoms up! 🍸
🐶 Dog-Friendly Perks
Humpback isn't just about great food; it's also a haven for dog owners. The staff are known to be exceptionally dog-friendly, often bringing out a bowl of iced water for your pup before you even place your order. The outdoor seating area provides ample space for dogs to relax, making it an ideal spot for those looking to dine with their canine companions.
If I am being very honest, I might regret sharing this mutt-chelin spot with everyone.
