steamed fishWe were told that the live patin fish is cooked to 70% doneness in the kitchen, it will be the perfect texture for consumption once it is served on the table stove like a hotpot fish where it will be 100% cooked. Signature Steam Three Treasure with Fish of your choice consists of a live patin fish, squids, prawns and giant lala in a comforting broth.

The Patin fish has buttery succulent flesh in garlicky fish broth. The flesh is interlaced with fats that melt in your mouth. You can definitely feel the freshness in this method of cooking without overly complex flavours. Fish size is good enough for 2-3 pax sharing. The comforting clear broth has undertones of prawn flavour and gets richer the longer the broth simmers with the ingredients.

chicken hotpotAlthough Siong Tong Gai is famous for their steamed fish, for those who love chicken, you should also try their Steam Kampung Chicken (Half chicken for $28.80++). The chicken has distinctive layers of fats and lean meat layers, certainly very tender and savoury. You can taste an undertones of sweet wine used in this steam dish. Since Kampung chicken are used, the meat are more springy and lean. Golden hues of natural juice from the chicken melt and flavour the soup base while it cooks. The coriander and ginger used also enhances the natural sweetness of the chicken. We will definitely be returning for this dish as well.

lala hotpotThey also have this Steam Clam ($28++) which is plump and juicy lala in their signature broth with a generous amount of ginger, chilli padi and scallions. Every sips from the steamed lala hotpot is piping hot and comforting. If you love the viral lala hotpot, this could make you happy and satisfy your cravings.

Golden Crispy Chicken Drumettes ($18.80++) – the chicken drumettes are coated in sweet gooey Korean sauce while the crunchy mid wings are deep fried in pepper salt. We love these 2-in-1 chicken wings dishes where we can enjoy 2 different flavours in 1 dish. Enjoy your Korean style wings with refreshing icy booze. During our visit, we also overheard a returning customer who is ordering takeaway for these fried chicken while she is having her meals with her family.

Double Delight Pork Chop($18.80++) is also a 2-In-1 dish, where the crunchy thick pork chop is coated in a sweet steak sauce and another in creamy mayo sweet onion sauce. They even have table service to portion your chops so you can eat it with ease.

home cook foodCrispy Homemade Tofu with Minced Meat ($13.80++) atop sweet tender choy sum. This is a homemade tofu that is so delicate and jiggly. The soft texture melts in your mouth like custard and only held together by a thin crispy crust.
