This used to be one of my absolute favorite spots for fish head steamboat, and I’d always bring friends from overseas to try what I consider a signature local dish. After taking a year-long break, I recently decided to revisit the place. Business seems to be thriving as they’ve expanded from two shops to even more. The first floor is open-air, while the second floor has air conditioning for those who prefer it.
I was excited to dine in again after so long, but sadly, the quality of the fish head steamboat has dropped significantly. It lacked flavor, though the portion for two was still quite generous. I was puzzled by how tasteless the soup was and decided not to ask for a refill—partly because I didn’t enjoy it and partly to see if letting it simmer longer would make the taste richer. Unfortunately, it didn’t improve 🥲.
On the good side, other dishes like the sambal kangkung and prawn paste chicken wings were still decent. Surprisingly, the drinks were the highlight of the meal and the part I enjoyed the most 😙. With an added 9% GST and 10% service charge (despite minimal service), I don’t think I’ll be going back again.
