Finally tried Nan Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat, a place with nearly a century of history — and it truly lives up to its reputation.
We ordered the small grouper fish head steamboat, signature pork belly (Nam Yu pork), and the signature homemade tofu. The grouper was cut into generous chunks, very fresh and tender. The soup was the highlight — light, smooth, and naturally sweet from fish bones and vegetables, making it easy to drink till the last sip. Refilling the original broth was a big plus.
The Nam Yu pork belly was fragrant without being greasy, nicely crispy on the outside and tender inside. The homemade tofu was another standout — crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside, and not oily at all.
Located between Bugis and Lavender, the setting is simple and very local, but well-ventilated and comfortable even during lunch hours. You’ll see plenty of locals and families dining here, which says a lot.
If you’re looking for an authentic Singapore-style fish head steamboat, this is definitely a place worth visiting.
