南华昌鱼头炉 Nan Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat | Nan Hua Chang ( Ah Chew ) Fish Head Steamboat

Back for a second try, but the $48 charcoal fish soup really fell flat. The promfret was super bony, and the portion size was small. The soup did get better and more flavourful as it boiled towards the end. However, the side dishes were outstanding! The salted egg pork ribs and Kai Lan were incredibly tasty. When a 9 year old kid commented that the vegetables were the best he has tasted, you would know how good that plate really was. Get a seat at the 2nd floor as it’s airconditioned and if you don’t want to be drenched in sweat after the meal. I don’t think it’s value for money and won’t strongly recommend it.

PLEASE AVOID THIS STALL. I have histamine intolerance, to put it simply, my body will react if the fish was not processed properly and tons of histamine will be released under high heat. It’s kinda like food poisoning but most people will not notice as histamine does not have any smell or taste, but it’s harmful to your body. I seldom have any issue with the fishes in Singapore, but I had my worst reaction eating here. I lost all my energy and had to rest for a long time at the stall. If you don’t care about the histamine, I wasn’t going to give it a good rating before the episode neither. The soup is definitely good, but everything else is just so so but way overpriced. Two of us (small eaters) spent $90 at this hawker and didn’t even feel full. The signature side dishes are like my hand size and they are not freshly cooked, all warm and charged $12! There are very limited fish in the $39 hotpot also.

Had the fish head steamboat here yesterday and it was good! The soup was fresh and flavourful, The fish was very fresh, tender, and didn’t have any fishy smell. The portion was generous.Service was fast and friendly too, they kept topping up the soup which was a nice touch. Definitely a good spot if you’re craving traditional steamboat with authentic taste.

My best friend wanted to come here for his birthday, so we did! Came on a Friday around 7 pm and it was already super crowded — we got seated upstairs (level 2). The place had that old-school zi char vibe, quite nostalgic actually if you were to ask me. We ordered the Grouper Fish Head Steamboat ($39), Homemade Beancurd, Omelette, Sambal Kang Kong, Prawn Paste Chicken and rice — total came up to $98.70 for 3 pax. We were definitely full, but honestly… the steamboat was great yet nothing mind-blowing. A little overhyped and underwhelming in my opinion — just felt like any other decent fish head steamboat. My favourite dishes were actually the Homemade Beancurd and (weirdly) the Omelette 🤭 Both simple but done well. The Prawn Paste Chicken though — I remember it being really good the first time I came, but this round it tasted a little bland… maybe we just got unlucky that day 😅 Service was a little slow too, maybe because it was a busy Friday night. My friend and I were busy gossiping so we didn’t notice at first, but when we checked the time — the Fish Head Steamboat actually took close to 25 minutes to be served 😬 Do note that it’s almost always full house, so do reserve in advance if you can (though I’m not sure why it’s always packed — I don’t quite think it is worth the hype 😅). Overall, I’d say it’s a spot you can visit if you’re already in the area and craving some fish head steamboat — but to travel down specially for it? Nah, probably not. Good meal, but price-wise and taste-wise, it didn’t quite wow me.

The fish head steamboat is pure comfort food. The broth is rich and flavorful, with natural sweetness from cabbage and depth from the fish bones. The crispy fried pork and oyster omelette make perfect sides. Nostalgic vibes, affordable prices, and a warm family-style atmosphere make it a must-try in Singapore.

Came here on a weekday. Order medium fish steamboat 48sgd, with garlic clams, broccoli, Kang Kong and mushroom tofu. With 4 drinks for 5 pax. All these for 122sgd. The fish soup was flavourful though love to have more yam inside. But the staff gave us food reco for the amount of food to order.

Had dinner at Nan Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat and it really hit the spot. Went for the Pomfret steamboat, which was cooked the traditional way using charcoal fire the broth was rich, flavourful, and kept hot throughout the meal. Loved the addition of yam slices, which soaked up the soup nicely and added a comforting touch. The homemade beancurd was smooth, silky, and lightly crispy on the outside a great side dish. Including drinks, service charge (10%) and GST (9%), the bill came up to $70.30. Slightly pricey for two, but the traditional flavour and old-school atmosphere made it a worthwhile experience. Great spot if you’re looking for classic fish steamboat done right.

Grouper steamboat is filled with huge chunks of fish, fried yam and various vegetables. Soup super robust and refillable. Kang Kong Cuttlefish is spicy and flavourful, plenty of cuttlefish strips to keep you going for more rice. Beansprouts with salted fish also hits the spot. Must order the Prawn Rolls as well as the Fried Pork coz its so good! Tofu was okay and average. Price and portion is reasonable here, abit under staffed so its better to take your own bowls/chilli. will definitely visit again!
