Red Snapper Fish Head Steamboat [$38] Chilly weathers these days make it so fit for everything hot and soupy! Haven’t had that many fish head steamboats to compare, but this one from Jin Jue Seafood boasts a broth with distinct herbal notes, resulted from the addition of dang gui and goji berries - yummm. Fish slices are deliberately served separately to avoid them breaking up too quickly in the pot, and we loved how the refills are of the actual broth, not just water or the watered down version. Other dishes they serve up are your popular zi char items, like Curry Fish Head, Black Pepper Crabs, etc!

Good zi char restaurant in Jalan Besar! We recently discovered a good zi char restaurant Jin Jue Seafood in the Jalan Besar area! Here’s what we had: ~Red Snapper Signature Steamboat ($38) ~Shrimp Paste Chicken ($12) ~Salted Egg Pork Ribs ($18) ~Golden Crispy Tofu ($12) ~Stir Fried Kailan with Dried Scallops ($15) The main highlight was the Red Snapper Signature Steamboat! The refillable broth was so rich and flavourful, and the fresh red snapper slices are served separately, so you can cook it as and when you want to eat it, and at your preferred doneness too! Other dishes we liked were the Shrimp Paste Chicken (crispy & juicy!), Salted Egg Pork Ribs (tender pork ribs coated in addictive salted egg yolk sauce!) and Stir Fried Kailan with Dried Scallops (first time having kailan cooked this way, and we found it interesting & yummy!). Overall, I’d definitely recommend a visit to Jin Jue Seafood with your family or friends for a good zi char meal!

Quality dishes Cantonese Styled Seafood Cuisine from @jinjueseafood ! Featured here are the following items: Chilli & black pepper crab ($57 for 2 crabs! This promo is in conjunction with Singapore’s 57th birthday and the promo ends on 31 Aug 2022! For dine in only.): The crabs were served pipping hot! Both the chilli and black pepper sauce were super spicy and shiok! The crab meat was fresh, sweet tasting and super meaty! Plastic gloves are provided for easy eating! Steamboat with Red Snapper $38: This charcoal fish steamboat is super special! An entire fish is served, and they also have a separate plate of thinly sliced red snapper fish that is served shabu shabu style so that you can also have sliced fish without bones for easy eating!

All in all, every dish was super tasty! You can’t go wrong with this place! Great for family gatherings!

Paper Bag Chicken This Cantonese restaurant first opened in Cantonment Road in 1963. It is most famous for it Paper Bag Chicken. Boneless chicken marinated with soya sauce and Chinese wine, wrapped in grease proof paper and then deep fried. The fragrance of the dish hits you when it is served. Open up the paper bag and the juice of the chicken oozes out. The chicken is very tender and you can taste the Chinese wine infused in the meat. I personally think they have the best paper bag chicken in Singapore. They are also famous for their claypot dishes and Har Lok (large prawns fried with soya sauce). The Kitchener Road branch opens on Monday whilst their Pasir Panjang branch is closed on Monday. Definitely coming back for more.

Pot Beef Brisket Their pot dishes are apparently the signature. Good brisket and lots of nice gravy.

Happy Beancurd That's the name, yes. The typical "homemade" tofu. It stood out with its thickness, which is an indication they're unafraid of scrutiny.

Good roast pork but stick to the char siew! Char also serves a good roast pork but unlike the char siew, it's really hard to justify paying so much more when you can get comparable roast pork elsewhere.

Char Siew good! I was really surprised to learn that Char is celebrating its 9th anniversary this year! I mean it didn't seem that long ago when I made the trek down to its OG outlet at Guillermard Road soon after its launch. The char siew was excellent but I did wonder how long it would be able to survive when its kopitiam competitors were able to serve the same dish (albeit less shiok) at a fraction of what they were charging. I am glad to be proven wrong though. I was back a couple of months ago at their new outlet at Jalan Besar. The char siew is still excellent - soft, tender and juicy with a sweet savoury glaze. I do wish though that their char siew had a little crunchier char but that's me nit-picking. At $35 for 200g each of their signature char siew and roast pork, it remains pricey. But I guess it's okay once in a while!

With a revamped menu comes new and innovative dishes, such as the Mala Char Siew that has been marinated with 13 spices, however I would have preferred for it to be spicier and more numbing. The peppery Pig Stomach’s Anxin Chicken Soup is a comforting pot that will be a great bowl before the mains. Other new dishes include the Tornado Butter Egg Prawns and Spicy Sichuan Chicken with Vanilla Ice Cream anyone? The ice cream helps to calm down the spice level while adding a cooling touch to the dish. •••••••••••••••••••• 🍽️ Char Restaurant 📍365 Jalan Besar, Singapore 208994
