136 Hong Kong Street Fish Head Steamboat (Joo Seng)

Zhi Char Feast!

My family loves the tze char here! I have lost count of the number of times we have dabao-ed from this stall!

💫 curry chicken hor fan
💫fried ee fu mee
💫sambal fried rice
💫salted egg pork rib
💫 hot plate tofu

Lol and it was my first time dabao-ing a hotplate tofu dish! It is possible! 😂

The curry chicken hor fun is fragrant and flavourful but not very spicy. It turned out surprisingly good although the chewy hor fun is plain without wok-hei, it managed to capture the curry flavour well. Quite an innovative and unique dish to try if you want something different from the usual hor fun 》$6/small

I previously had this years ago when they were in Clementi and it was by chance that I saw them in a coffee shop near my vicinity. No doubt the first thing that came to my mind that I have to order was their claypot mee tai bak which I missed over the years.

The claypot mee tai bak comes with prawns, minced meat, kai lan and a raw egg in a hot bubbling brown and thick gravy. The savoury gravy is infused with an aromatic wok-hei that is thick but not overly starchy with some garlicky notes. The addition of a cracked raw egg added more texture to the gravy and the silver needle noodles were springy, smooth and slippery that it just slipped down the throat. I also like the use of chopped kai lan that gives more crunch to the dish. My belly is happy now 😁 》$5/small

These prawn rolls were crispy with crunchy water chestnuts but I feel that it would be better if it was more moist and tender on the inside. The plum dipping sauce was on the sweet side 》$10/small

Fish Soup ($25)

Rich and tasty fish soup that has a nice blend of all the flavours of many different ingredients - cabbage, yam, salted fish, ginger & sour plum that added a nice touch of sourness. Served in the traditional charcoal steamboat pot, there are hints of charcoal flavour as well. 4/5 Stars

Highly recommended by the boss as it is one of their best selling dish

Verdict: fish head curry gravy with hor fun and chicken pieces, can be abit too salty but definitely an innovative and very filling dish. Bonus on the wok hey too!
