Tian Wai Tian Fish Head Steamboat @ Kovan

I visited the coffeeshop intending to try the Shantou Shi Teochew Fish Head Steamboat but was surprised that it has changed to Tian Wai Tian Fishhead Steamboat. Is this the popular Fish Head Steamboat at Serangoon Road? When have they taken over and have another branch in Kovan? Nevertheless, I am happy to be trying out another popular Fish Head Steamboat. It is also more spacious here compare to the branch at Serangoon Road.

The Fish Head Steamboat here uses charcoal. The soup base was very rich in flavor but my partner felt that it was a bit salty. I also noticed that the steamboat size were all the same except for the amount of fish depending on the portion you order.

Having the Fish Head Steamboat alone is a bit boring so I ordered Prawn Rolls. The Prawn Rolls were huge and nice. I actually found prawns inside the rolls unlike most places whereby they always made me wonder why it is called Prawn Rolls while I couldn't find any prawns in them.

Xing Seafood Steamboat @ Alexandra Village Food Centre

There are many popular stalls at Alexandra Village Food Centre. My favourite is the steamboat stall at the corner of the food centre near the car park. Besides steamboat, the stall also serves some cooked dishes. Most of the time I will order the promfret fish steamboat. I always prefer promfret to snapper for fish steamboat. The soup was tasty and came with yam, tomato, cabbage and tofu.

To get here, from Queenstown MRT station take bus 195 and alight 3 stops later. Alternative, from Redhill MRT station take bus 33 and alight 5 stops later.

Nan Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat @ Jalan Sultan

Nan Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat is located at the junction of Jalan Sultan and North Bridge Road, opposite Textile Centre. On a crowded day, diners may have to settle fort tables by the road side along Jalan Sultan Road or the back alley.

The restaurant used characoal-based steamboat. You can choose the type of fish for your steamboat. Grouper and pomfret were more popular from what I observed after eating here on a few occasions. Beside fish steamboat, the restaurant also offered cooked food. On weekends, do make reservation to avoid disappointment.

You can either take bus no. 107 from Lavender MRT station which is 2 stops away or take a 10 mins walk. to get there. If you are walking there, just get across the car park beside the MRT station. Walk along the canal, cross the canal, cut through the block of flats. When you are at the main road, turn to your right and walk down North Bridge Road until you come to a T-Junction and the restaurant is just opposite.

If by circle line, just align at Nicoll Highway MRT station, go to exit A and follow the overhead walkway all the way across to Jalan Sultan. Walk another 50 meters along Jalan Sultan and you will come to a T-Junction where the restaurant is located.
