I recently had dinner with my ex-colleagues at Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant which is also known as Queen of Wok.

Just like Nam Hwa Chong Fish Head Steamboat Corner, Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant specializes in fish head steamboat and zi char dishes. 

Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant - Whampoa Keng Signature Fish Head Steamboat

You have a choice of red garoupa, bucket pomfret or bardan for your Whampoa Keng Signature Fish Head Steamboat 黄埔庆鱼头炉 [S$45-120]. 

We chose red garoupa fish which the lady boss recommended. The restaurant still uses charcoal to cook the fish head steamboat which somehow gives the steamboat a richer taste. 

The soup base is milky-white and fragrant. There are yam and vegetables such as cabbage and seaweed in the soup which gives the soup a slight sweetness. The firm fish slices are testament to the freshness of the fish.

Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant - Mushroom, Sea Cucumber & Scallops with Spinach

Mushrooms, Sea Cucumber & Scallops with Spinach 冬菇海参带子炒菠菜 [S$32] is a classic favorite that everyone enjoys. The thickened gravy gives the dish a luxurious feel.

Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant - Signature Deep Fried Prawn Rolls

Signature Deep Fried Prawn Rolls 招牌炸虾枣 [S$14] is another signature dish. Minced pork and prawn are wrapped in beancurd skin and deep-fried till the exterior is a beautiful golden-brown color. The sweetness from prawns makes this a delightful snack. 

Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant - Salted Egg Yolk Prawn

I love anything with salted egg but Salted Egg Yolk Prawn 咸蛋虾球 [S$25] was pretty disappointing. The huge prawns themselves are juicy and crunchy but the salted egg sauce that coats the prawns is not aromatic enough. It lacks the richness of salted egg.  

Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant - Clay Pot Indonesian Style Chicken

The lady boss recommended Clay Pot Indonesian Style Chicken 沙煲印尼鸡 [S$16]. The fried chicken pieces are cooked with shallots and a sweet, sour and spicy sauce that is finger-licking good. 

Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant - Sweet & Sour Pork with Fried Shredded CodSweet & Sour Pork Ribs with Fried Shredded Cod Fish 龙须排骨 [S$16] is unique to the Rangoon Road outlet. This is essentially sweet and sour pork topped with dried shredded fish. The pork ribs are bigger and flatter and fried till extremely crispy. The sweet and sour sauce is a dark-brown color with a more pronounced tanginess. 

Whampoa Keng Food Street Steamboat Restaurant is the perfect place for hearty fish head steamboat and zi char dishes at wallet-friendly prices.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
