Hong Kong Street Hock Kee Fish-Head Steamboat 香港街福记鱼头炉

Posted by CyberTron on Aug 26, 2008 2:33AM
Located around 10 - 15min walk from Commonwealth MRT, in a laid back HDB estate in Commonwealth, is this Hong Kong Street fish head steamboat eating place. Been here a few months back with my family, and thought the food was pretty decent and reasonably priced, so decided to pop by here for dinner today. When we were there today, there we ample parking lots around.

Anyway, when we were there, we were recommended to try the fish head steamboat. We ordered the ang go li (I think is red snapper ?) fish head steamboat ($20) together with a honey with beer pork ribs ($10).

Food did not take too long before it was served, and they came together. The steamboat was kept heated with charcoal as you can see from the photo.

Food wise, I pretty enjoyed the pork ribs, though my friend felt the pork ribs is too bony. The pork ribs are not the big long pieces one usually get, but was cut into smaller pieces. However, I pretty enjoy the honey beer sauce (hmm...though I dun seem to remember having a bitter taste of beer) :) . As for the steamboat, the soup seems to be like those milky kind you get in fried fish noodle, and I quite enjoy the soup actually. In fact, we finished the soup, and the waitress came over asked if we wanted to top up soup. hahaha... at a moment I thought we were eating bak kut teh.

The total bill came up to $30.90 (50 cents for 1 bowl of rice and 40 cents for the 2 wet tissues). Overall, I think the food deserves a 3.5, not quite a 4 though and pretty reasonably priced too. In fact, for small eaters, what we ordered is probably good for 3.

PS. One thing to add, not sure if is due to weather or it is going to rain, the is quite a few flying ants flying around during the later part of our dinner.

    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

    I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

    CyberTron commented..
    hi! The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you. For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

    I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
