Chicken Hot Pot @ Shenton Way (2nd March 2009)

Name of the place...

I was introduced to this place by one of my siblings... (YES! I have siblings...strange might it be... I do come from Earth.)

The stove

Each table has this little stove with a small pot of fuel will be lit and to semi cook and keep the food warm at the same time.

Luncheon meat

This is put in the fridge... and you can choose a few raw dishes that can be added in the pot. With the help of whatever fuel, it will cook the raw food quite well.

Assorted vegetables

The pot... as the way it was served

The Chicken pot stirred fried

When the pot came... the Chicken was stirred fried with their house special sauce...

The Chicken pot with soup added in...

After having some of the chicken... soup will be added and we can continued to enjoy the soup version of this dish.

I love the way this dish was presented to me. I like the style the food is given and how it was cooked. I think it is quite a reasonable price to pay for the reasonable good food in town. :) I think I will head there quite often, especially when we have rainy weathers or slightly cold weathers.

The shop

the order taker
This lady is a super and slow lady... why? cause other than taking orders, she is busy preparing the ingredients for the cooks. So the order taking can be about 30 mins from the moment you join the queue. Not to be put off with this waiting time... cause most likely you have to wait that long for a table to be emptied... esp during their peak hours.

the soup pot
This is the soup that goes into their fish head steamboat.... I can see alot of chicken feet floating on the surface of the pot... do not be put off by it! cause the soup is extremely delicious!!! (I like it) The soup are slowly boiled with charcoal... I wish i had that sort of patience to do it that way at home.

Red Groupa fish head steamboat
The yummmy fish head steamboat....

Look they even put charcoal into each steamboat, so the soup can be keep at the same temperture it left the kitchen... *yummy* Personally I am not much of a soup ingredient person... IF given the choice, I will just drink the soup and left the rest aside.


Shrimp paste Chicken wings
This is one of the better shrimp paste chicken wings I ever had... though we had one which is undercooked, but on the whole, this dish is well worth the price we paid.

Tofu with Prawn
it's a no no for me... I do not know how to explain why i do not like this dish... though I do like prawns and Japanese tofu... but this wasn't prepared to my liking...


Sweet and Sour pork ribs
This is one of the better pork ribs i ever had... I just labelled this as pork ribs, but it's more like they had used the pork chop type of meat... and the meat is tenderly firm. I think I had polished almost half of this dish by myself.

my bowl of rice
I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove rice.... And with my rice soaked with the soup from my fishhead steamboat...... I am happy.

Our bill?
One thing that really amaze the hell out of me is our bill.... Can anyone actually read this handwriting... and i tot my doc has bad handwriting... this is worse than drawing a tailsman... trust me I seen plenty of ppl doing a tailsman... and this is definitely a higher level than that.

a few of their customers.... @ the back alley...




I love a good steamboat in all styles.... this is definitely a place I had enjoyed with my family. It might be noisey, crowded and having long Q, but the charms of eating besides a drain, trying to get a table, lining up for our orders, getting a extremely artistic bill are just beyond my powers to resist. Definitely a place i will come back... Wait for me, my beloved fishhead steamboat... I will come for you sooon!!!

Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll
I ordered this from the stall that happened to be at the same place.
It wasn't the best.. though it was sold by a vietnamese lady.
I guess being a vietnamese don't mean you are able to make real good vietnamese food.

Sam Lo Hor Fun
I didn't think this was all that great. Though the fish was fresh... and my friend felt that it should be done with slightly more gravy.


Hokkien Noodles... I think this is quite good.... I usually have this or the Ee mee at this place :D Could be getting used to the taste.



Fish head soup!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE fish head soup!
but not everyone can do it well.... esp fish soup is quite tricky esp with so many people who doesn't like the fishy taste and it could be worse if the fish is not fresh...

Last of all... my order!!! EE mee... I been having this for the past week daily! I think I might need to change to another dish... :D I meant it was good... but having it everyday...




This is one of my favorite zi char place in Singapore... I am not a fan of zi char... not alot of places can convince me that Zi char is a good dining place... I don't like crowd... I don't like people talking loudly... and most important of all, i don't like ppl yelling orders to the kitchen! :p
