Whampoa Keng Fish Head Steam Boat Restaurant – Balestier, Singapore

Advertisements

I’ve been patronising this place for the longest time… maybe almost 2 decades… but since I’ve started eatwithroy.com, I have not written about this place at all! Maybe because they have been doing so well for so many years that I thought they do not need any more publicity. But then again, the other side of me is telling me that their food is so good, more people should know about it… hence this blog post! ;P

I’ve been to Whampoa Keng again recently and the food standards are still there. Really impressed with the way they have kept up the standards for such a long time since they started in Whampoa market! And they have since opened up at Rangoon Road as well as in Batam Island, Indonesia… which I will share some of the pics below. Check out the foods that I would order at this lovely restaurant.

They took over the next door unit also where there are more seating.

The chilli sauce goes damn well with the fresh fish slices which we ordered.

Our order of Batang fish slices steam boat ($40.00). Lovely thick slices of boneless fish. Something I cannot get in China haha. The charcoal for steamboat is just what makes it so good. Love it!

Yummy yummy fish slices closed up. This soup is the typical teochew style where they use sour plum inside and loads of bones to boil the soup for hours.

Oyster Omelette ($10.00) – Yummy with loads of medium sized oysters.

Sauteed Spinach in Assorted Eggs ($13.00) – Cooked in lovely stock which makes this soupy veg dish so good.

See they use deep fried fish baits for making the veg more tasty.

Fried Clams with Spring Onion ($10.00) – Pretty good as the sauce thickens and coated all over the clams.

Deep Fried Prawn Paste Chicken ($10.00) – A must order. They have perfected this dish over so many years. Crispy and damn juicy inside.

Me and lady boss Doris. We’ve known each other for so long and this is our first time taking pic together.
