Xin Heng Feng Guo Tiao Tan @ Whampoa Market, Singapore.

Once in while during happy hours a guy in the group will pull a stunt and suggest dinner, not every time it'll work as most of us will continue drinking and cab home, but this was the other time we succumbed to it and boy was the guy recommending it hit the spot. What's not to love a good pot of hot piping charcoal steamboat.

Unassuming stall in a hawker centre at night, where most of the stalls on this block was closed. It seems in the morning they sell fishball noodles and at night fishhead steamboat. Talk about enterprising.

We ordered dishes as well to complement the steamboat. This was the duck wings, looks simple but was flavourful.

Pickled vegetables, which paired with the hot steaming white rice, with the broth from the steamboat, just simple pleasures in life. Yummy!

Some tau pok, I'm just a sucker for tau pok, absolutely delicious as they soaked up the gravy.

And the star of the dish, batang fish steamboat. The broth packs a punch, portions was generous and damn it, I feel like going there again for dinner soon as I'm writing this.

Mystery bonus! One of my mates went to the other block and tapaued this orh luak(oyster egg omelette) to complement our dinner. This is one wicked awesome tasting orh luak. I shall be back to find out more on this dish.
