“ Old style restaurant. Fish and prawns were very fresh. Price worst not cheap but good value. ”
“ Been to Seng Steam Fish for several years. They serve some decent dishes, although prices are somewhat steep for Malaysia dining. But it's a favourite spot for many Singaporeans because of our strong exchange rate. It's been a while since my last visit. As usual, I order the signature dishes - steam fish - you get to choose the platter size from the refrigerator (Rm 40 for 2 red Snapper steaks, Rm 60 for half Seabass). Fried fish (Rm 30), Pumpkin (Rm 10), Homemade Ngoh Hiang (Rm 8/pc). The steamed fish was OK, no surprises, a little overcooked but fresh. Fried fish - always my favourite (I seldom order fried fish at restaurants) coz the exterior is crispy and flesh is moist. The sweet glaze sauce complements it well and you can't help but keep digging for the next piece. To be honest, although I order the steam fish by default, the fried fish has always stolen my attention. I actually like it better than the steam fish, which while fresh, doesn't pack any punch nor surprises. You can basically get a good steam fish at any restaurant that does it well (teochew style with the usual salted vege & ginger and Seng Steam Fish doesn't even add tomato or tofu). So, the steam fish comes across as pretty bland and you can even DIY it yourself at home (9 mins steam). The pumpkin dish has been my favourite since I read about it recommended n reviews years ago. The pumpkin is well cooked and soft, with hae bee (baby dried shrimps), yam and sprinkled with silver fish, and ginko. It's a tasty dish that goes well with rice because I love the sweet & savoury gravy. The Ngoh Hiang was a new find for me ... The staff recommended it to me and I ordered 1 pc to try. It's one of the best Ngoh Hiang I've tried... You actually see and taste the flavourful minced pork, with aromatic 5 spice seasoning, and even get a bite of water chestnut crunch. The Aunty who made it told me she makes about 80-100 pcs in a day and rolls it piece by piece by hand. I was so tempted to order another piece after finishing the entire meal but decided to save some space for coffee after lunch. My lunch cost Rm 109 for 2 pax (all the aforementioned dishes + 1 rice). Not exactly cheap for dining in a coffee shop but doesn't break the bank either. For Singaporeans, this is a very affordable meal that amounts to less than Sgd 15/pax. ”
“ Food : I like their fried fish & LaLa (Is a must order dishes) Their Bak Kut Teh meat a bit hard to bite not suit my taste as I seldom eat meat (Different people taste) Service : Staff were so friendly & explain detail Atmosphere : Not air-con environment but still can accept ”
“ Had lunch with my family on a Friday around 1:30 PM, and the restaurant was still crowded. Despite its name, "Steam Fish," I’ve been here a few times but haven’t actually tried their steamed fish yet. Instead, I always go for their fried fish, which is quite unique since not many Chinese restaurants serve it. One thing I really appreciate about this place is their fast service—our food arrived quickly despite the crowd! What We Ordered Fried Fish (5/5) Crispy and fresh, with no fishy smell. It comes with Thai-style sweet and spicy sauce mixed with mayo, making it more on the sweet side. Definitely a must-try! Ngoh Hiang (5/5) Packed with meat and crunchy water chestnuts, which I really liked. The whole family enjoyed it so much that we ordered more! Bitter Gourd (4/5) Cooked in a way that reduces the usual bitterness, though I could still taste it slightly. Since I’m not a fan of bitter gourd, it wasn’t my favorite, but for those who like it, this might be a good choice. Braised Pork with Suan Cai (4/5) The pork was tender, but the suan cai (pickled mustard greens) was quite mild in flavor—nothing particularly special, but still a comforting dish overall. Final Thoughts Great food with fast service, making it a solid choice for a Chinese meal. I’ll definitely keep coming back for their fried fish! ”
“ Return a few times alrdy. Simple but clean settings. Home cooked taste kind of food. Fast serving up and priced very reasonably. ”
“ Great food! The fish is very nice, can see why every table orders it. Lala is nice too, but got abit alcohol so take note. This restaurant only have 14 dishes so they serve very fast and efficient. ”
“ Tried their signature fried fish and it was good. What amaze us is the speed of serving the food, the order is place on 11:50am, and all food were served on 11:52am! ”
