[Tampines Round Market & Food Centre] By day it's a market and food centre with many good eats, by night, this place is scattered with people sitting in a round table with a steamboat at the centre. By being the only few stalls that serve the night goers , Hai Chang Fishhead Steamboat is a crowd favourite with its charcoal cauldron of umami fish stock that contains sliced fish, fried flat fish, yam, seaweed and green vegetables. Go for the sea bream ($18/$23/$28) option with the slightly thicker chunks of fish meat that has a firmer texture than pomfret. One good thing about using charcoal is that it not only brings out the "sweetness" and natural flavours, it keeps the steamboat warm to a certain temperature without overcooking or burning the food. Nowadays, many stalls use the electric or gasoline steamboat but the traditional ones still insist on firing up their own charcoal and using it in place of more modern methods. #hawkerpedia
