I had grand plans of having fish head steamboat after surfing ieat's website for all the places of steamboat. Insipired by Ahfat who said steamboat should be healthy for me in my recovery stage, I hallucinated about fish head steamboat the entire afternoon!
Bubi finally came to pick me up at 8pm because there was traffic jam on that Friday :(. Hungwee....I told him of my many suggestions and then he said "Mmmm....there's one at Beo Crescent... much nearer leh."
Ok lor....since it was already kind of late and I was really hungry I agreed with his suggestion. We parked at near the teochew porridge stall at Havelock road, you know the one that you will go after Zouk? We walked up and down the whole stretch and couldn't find the place he was talking about. By this time I was really sulking. I was famished and I could not really walk much due to the surgery and I was really upset why oh why....why he never listen to my suggestions! Hmph!
A friendly lady which I think is the lady boss (her pictures were on the wall) beckoned us into her restaurant and the place looked decent so we went in. We ordered the Steamed Song Fish Head and I continued to sulk. Poor Bubi was feeling so guilty.
When the dish came it was lo and behold it was not what we ordered.Huh? What is this? The evening has gone from bad to worse.
Bitter Gourd Fish Head $28
Errr, but we did not order this? What is this?
After much discussion we just took the dish since she said this was the 招牌菜 (specialty dish).
The bitter gourd was soft and melts in your mouth kind. Although the dish was soaked in black bean sauce it was not too salty even though I was not eating the dish with rice. Cannot eat too much after the surgery, super bloated feeling still going on. The fish was fried but it had a really nice taste to it, not too oily "without the fried too many times in the oil taste". I was happily slurping up the finely sliced ginger as well, old liao, need to get rid of the wind in my stomach. What a perfect combination of ingredients! 8/10
What impressed me was the attentive waitress standing around who would change your plate when there were too many fish bones. They changed our plates twice. We also topped up our pot of chrysenthemum tea twice without waiting too long for service. I like!
By this time I was grinning like a baboon, happy feelings were back and Bubi was already ordering his second bowl of rice. Esther once said happy wife happy life. I think Bubi would agree. Ha! "feeling smug"
There were pictures of other teochew dishes on the wall but alas there were only 2 of us. I vowed to bring my parents here or at least convince the lzbs to come.
Happy liao!
