[CHINATOWN, SINGAPORE] Many people don't seem to know that Chinatown Complex Hawker Centre is actually quite known for their steamed fish head dishes, with at least 5 stalls selling the same thing. Seng Kee 119 is known to be the original steamed fish head stall and I've had it 5 years ago and standards seem to be the same!

The Steamed Fish Head ($20) was traditionally doused in a thick fermented bean sauce that can be quite salty on its own. The fish itself was very fresh, as its meat was flaky yet bouncy, with a natural sweetness. This is still good to share among 3-4! The pork lard was fresh as well, adding extra umami to the dish.

However, now thinking about it a few hours later, the flavour may be heavy on the fermented bean, but it seems rather... one dimensional. Perhaps other stalls that have innovated may be able to provide a new flavour combination that can entice me to go back 😂 wonder if anyone has tried this dish from other stalls that is worth a try?

This was my first time visiting this porridge place. Their signatures which include sliced ginger and spring onion beef in claypot, hotplate tofu and chai poh egg are must-order dishes which goes very well with rice or sweet potato porridge. The porridge is prepared in taiwanese style with a thicker consistency and the rice grains retains a soft yet chewy bite.

A traditional porcelain bowl full of delicate and smooth soya goodness at a very affordable price. Having this in a hawker centre gives a comforting and homely feel. The sugar syrup is also just nice and not too sweet 》$1

Handmade noodles with QQ texture accompanied by well-marinated and flavourful minced pork then topped with crispy anchovies. Please don't let the plain-looking noodles fool you. The sauce and chilli actually pack a punch. I also added 2 truffle meatballs which turned out soft and flavourful with hints of truffle flavour 》$5.50 + $1.80 Truffle Meatballs

Can you believe the last time I ate this they're stilled called Carona? It's been decades. Somemore not easy with the queues and timings. I wolfed it down. It's simply a very fragrant plate of chicken rice with delicious fried chicken.

I've been craving for this all week. First stop here right from Changi Airport, got the Ginger beef, this hotplate tofu, preserved radish eggs and sweet potato porridge. It's great to be home!

great place for a homely and comforting dinner. cai po omelette was so simple but the highlight of the show, so good together with the porridge!! would return to try the kampong chicken and pig trotter beehoon. also shoutout to the super friendly uncle staff!

pretty good zhichar, service was prompt and friendly
we ordered the hotplate tofu, 三杯鸡，chaipoh omelette and hainanese porkchop. all were pretty decent, but the omelette and tofu were especially well done.

heard that the pig trotter beehoon was v good but we didn't get to try it as they only offered it from 9pm onwards. Will look to try next time!

When u want more variety of fish other than saba or salmon with that charcoal grilled taste , this place offers affordable & good quality fish .

Chunks of boneless chicken drenched in fragrant and flavourful special black sauce and sesame oil. The pieces of chicken are extremely tender and flavourful, accompanied by a savoury aroma of sesame, minced garlic and chilli padi. Pair this with a bowl of steamed rice and we are good to drench our bowl of rice with the sauce 》$9 / Large

Served sizzling warm and crunchy with some bite in a claypot 》$6.80

Love it when a place serves both chicken rice and zichar. They serve some really tasty kampong steamed chicken, complete with all the staple zichar dishes done well - qinglong cai and wasabi prawns were good!
