Been there twice about 5 years before. Rather shocked at how far standards have fallen. Had 4 dishes, only the crab tofu was fairly good though not great. Every other dish else was like Any street corner Zhi char coffee shop but these would have lower price points.

Famous for its fish head hotpot, and deservedly so! Had the parents’ day set today, which included a hearty dish of braised tofu and seafood. Fantastic for going with rice.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Whampoa Keng Fish Head Steamboat for the third time, and I can confidently say that the quality of food remains at top tier. This hidden gem on Balestier Road continues to impress with its delicious offerings and vibrant atmosphere. ### Ambiance The restaurant has a reasonable layout that is suitable for family dinners or gatherings with friends. While it may not be overly spacious, it provides a comfortable setting that allows for enjoyable conversations and shared meals. ### Food Quality As a returning customer, I was eager to see if the food would live up to my previous experiences, and it did not disappoint. The fish head steamboat is the star of the show. The broth was rich and flavorful, infused with a perfect blend of spices that complemented the fresh fish head beautifully. Each bite of the fish was tender and succulent, showcasing the high quality of ingredients used. ### Service The staff at Whampoa Keng are attentive and friendly, ensuring that our needs were met without being intrusive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which added to the overall dining experience. ### Value for Money The restaurant does provide good value for the money. Considering the quality of food and attentive service, the prices are quite reasonable. ### Conclusion Overall, my third visit to Whampoa Keng Fish Head Steamboat reaffirmed my love for this establishment. With consistently high food quality, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service, it's no wonder this place is a favorite among locals. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic steamboat experience in Singapore. I look forward to my next visit!

Unfortunately, had a less-than-ideal experience. While most of the food was fine, some of the grouper we had wasn’t as fresh as expected and had a strong fishy smell. Despite that, we still finished it. However, later that night, I had some discomfort and my partner experienced bloating and indigestion. Considering we paid around $120, it didn’t feel worth it for the overall experience. Hopefully, they can improve on freshness and quality moving forward.

Went to eat during the Chinese New Year period. Unfortunately, they only served set menu during this period. A bit pricey but the food was great as usual. Service was quick and attentive. Will be back for more.
