Electrical resistivity (), magnetoresistance (MR), magnetization, thermopower and Hall effect measurements on the single crystal GdPdSi, crystallizing in an AlB-derived hexagonal structure are reported. The well-defined minimum in at a temperature above N'eel temperature (T= 21 K) and large negative MR below 3T, reported earlier for the polycrystals, are reproducible even in single crystals. Such features are generally uncharacteristic of Gd alloys. In addition, we also found interesting features in other data, e.g., two-step first-order-like metamagnetic transitions for the magnetic field along [0001] direction. The alloy exhibits anisotropy in all these properties, though Gd is a S-state ion.
