Alternatively, you can opt for their Signature Steam Fish instead, served in a simmering hotpot with a secret soup base. Choose from options such as Signature Steam Patin ($7.80++/100g) and Steam Black Tilapia ($4.80++/100g), or splurge on the Signature Steam Soon Hock ($9.80++/100g), the most expensive fish on the menu.

Regulars tout the fish to be fresh and sweet, complementing the flavourful, ginger- and garlic-packed soup. FYI: the founders of the Malaysian brand have been working on the broth for over 30 years!
