Top dish of the night has to be their Baja Fish Tacos - fish was fresh with almost zero traces of fishiness; paired with a deliciously crisp and light yet flavourful batter. Definitely a MUST ORDER when you're here! Do also give their cocktails and the traditional Mexican drink, Horchata a try.

All in all, @huevossg exceeded our expectations in the dishes we've tried. One small tip will be to make your reservations (Tues-Thurs) before going down otherwise be prepared to queue since it's almost always a full house.

Created during Circuit Breaker back in 2020 right from the home kitchen of Chef Renée, @jelebudrylaksa iconic dry laksa dish uses a specific rice noodle for that unbeatable texture. The noodles are first simmered in the thick broth of the laksa, allowing it to soak up the best flavours from the shrimp-heavy laksa broth. Thereafter, the dish is topped with fresh seasonal seafood that is uncommon to see in laksa. Luxe butter-poached lobster, grilled tiger prawns and crispy ebi elevate the already decadent and scrumptious laksa!

I had their Grilled Tiger Prawns Dry Laksa (SGD18), as well as Carrot Cake Omelette (SGD10) to share. Definitely will be back to try more of their small plates, and maybe their Butter Poached Lobster Dry Laksa if I’m feeling rich…

Being the oldest Fish Head Steamboat Restaurant in 🇸🇬, @nanhwachong1927 is unlike other contemporary gas-stove steamboat eatery; Every steamboat here is heartily prepared with ember-charcoal boiling soup, the freshest fish and quality ingredients with the original recipe passed on since 1927. They also serve a variety of yummy tze char dishes!

Here’s what my family and I indulged in…
👉Red Grouper Fish Head Steamboat
Include sole fish, tang oh, cabbage and yam
👉Signature Homemade Tofu
Seafood, fish and tofu paste. Coated with batter and fried to a golden brown
👉Signature Pork Belly
Crispy fried pork belly marinated with our
very own fermented tofu recipe
👉Cuttlefish Kang Kong
👉Oyster Omelette
👉Cereal Prawns
👉Prawn Paste Chicken Wings

Needless to say, you’ve to order their fish head steamboat for the complete experience and to recapture the nostalgia of families & friends bonding over a traditional steamboat meal. Catering to different budgets, you can choose either pomfret, grouper, snapper or song fish. The 1.5kg red grouper we had was really fresh, firm and flaky. The slurp-worthy soup was rich yet clean tasting, and also slightly smokey thanks to the burning charcoal.

All in all, we definitely enjoyed ourselves and will recommend you guys to have your CNY gathering here at @nanhwachong1927!

❗️Note that they will be CLOSED from CNY Eve to Chu 2. OPEN from Chu 3 onwards
