Xin Yuan Ji(Tan Quee Lan st)

Most of us would think of steamboat when we hear Tan Quee Lan St. Indeed, there are several shops that sell steamboat. There is also another chinese restaurant which is quite popular there which sells fishhead/meat soup. They do have fishhead steamboat too.

Xin Yuan Ji's signature dishes are the Curry Fishhead, fishhead soup/meat... anything that has got to do with fish. There are already a few tables occupied by people eating fishhead/meat soup with i arrived(11.30am). I think the soup must be of some standard.

I ordered the Stir-fried kangkong and the recommeded Tofu with preserved raddish.
I waited for abt 15 mins for both the dishes to arrive. Those customers who arrived later than me are already eating their food but why is my food taking so long. I was a little upset thus i asked the staff there. He told me that the fish soup takes a shorter time to prepare and my food coming up.

Finally, the tofu with preserved raddish arrived. It was a big square of tofu, lightly deep-fried and topped with preserved radish.The preserved raddish is being deep-fried till crispy and stir-fried with some dried chilli and spring onions. It taste sweet and the texture is very crunchy and crispy, not at all oily. It taste great with the simple egg tofu.

Stir-fried kangkong

A simple vegetable dish. However, they added some thin strips of carrots to give it additional crunch and colour.

Generally the food here is quite good and they are popular with the people working around that area. The prices are also quite reasonable.
