Sampanman in Jewel Changi Airport is a seafood restaurant that specializes in serving seafood on a custom-made sampan boat grill.
Started by the same group behind Cajun On Wheels, this unique restaurant pays tribute to Singapore’s fishing village past.
Menu
With a huge variety of seafood on the menu, including Sri Lankan crabs, Boston lobsters, flower clams, mussels, prawns, and half-shell scallops, Sampanman offers a one-of-a-kind seafood dining experience.
One of the highlights of the restaurant is the sampan boat grill, which adds a smoky flavour that is hard to replicate. The seafood is grilled to perfection, ensuring that diners get the best flavour out of their meals.

Depending on the type of seafood you want or your budget, the sampan boat varies from the “modest” Shellfish Sampan (S$88), to the XXL Fisherman Sampan (S$238) which features an indulgent spread of Sri Lankan Crabs, Boston Lobsters, and more.
These dishes are perfect for sharing, and they come with a generous serving of seafood.
Another dish that stands out is the Truffle Buttermilk Crab Bee Hoon Soup (from S$48).

The specialty dish features a whole Sri Lankan crab, cooked to perfection in a truffle buttermilk soup that is rich and creamy. The soup is infused with the fragrant aroma of truffle, which gives it a distinct and unique flavour that is hard to find elsewhere.
The dish is served with bee hoon noodles, which soak up the soup’s flavours and add a delightful texture to the dish.
