Black Rock Fish Head Steamboat: New Zi Char Restaurant By Kay Lee In Kaki Bukit

Black Rock Fish Head Steamboat is a new zi char restaurant

If you’re already planning some Chinese New Year feasts, you may want to consider this new zi char place: Black Rock Fish Head Steamboat. This eatery is run by Kay Lee Roast Meat, the legendary roast meat stall that was sold for $4 million to a conglomerate in 2014. You can find it in the Kaki Bukit industrial area, just a five-minute walk from Kaki Bukit MRT Station.

The signature dish here is, of course, the Black Rock Charcoal Fish Head Steamboat. Prices start from $29 for a small pot filled with Snapper, but you can also go for pricier fishes such as Red Grouper (from $39) or Pomfret (from $39). Patrons have praised the rich and umami-filled soup here, as well as the high-quality fish.

Aside from fish head steamboat, the restaurant is also known for fare such as Prawn Paste Chicken (from $12), Signature Golden Tofu (from $12), and Butter Sotong (from $15). We’ve also heard plenty of praise for their Signature Oyster Omelette (from $12), which sport fresh, plump oysters.

As you’d from the Kay Lee affiliation, you can also get some juicy roast meats here, including the Signature Dang Gui Roasted Duck (from $15) and Signature Char Siew (from $10). You can expect both these meats to be succulent, well-roasted, and flavourful.
