Where to makan good steam chinese pomfret?

[Bluepica]

Hello makan kaki,

 

I usually go to Ah Orh at Sin Ming to have this dish but since Sin Ming branch already no more, then left Bukit merah, but it's a bit far and pricey.

Anyone know of other zi char that serves this fish? and besides teo chew style, so far I haven't eat any HK style here.

Any recommendation? not too atas place la....

Oh yeah, I've tried Fa Ji at Amoy street before too.

Wah the review on Guan Hin posted on 2006, pomfret at $40, now I think price more than double already 

[Lala81]

actually my mum is a teochew.

And I've eaten steamed pomfret more times than i count growing up.

Even now, there's usually a pomfret in my freezer as my go-to steamed fish.

 

So in my entire lifetime, i've never eaten one ordered in zi char or in teochew restaurants LOL 

I've only eaten it at chinese weddings.

Frankly steam pomfret or any other fish needs no kungfu.

 

 

Most important is the fish must be fresh.

 

Steam at home at high fire for 10 mins is all it takes.

 

Buy those packet premixed sauce at ntuc and it will taste just as good.

 

 

 

One more point, put a pair chopstick underneath the fish to better circulate the steam and only add in the sauce after fish is steamed.

10mins is only if u have a bigger pomfret.

I advise 8mins for a smaller table sized one.

 

Make 2 cuts to allow the meat to cook more evenly on each side. It steams faster also.

My sister don't like, she says it's smelly....

Steamed fish sell expensive when eat outside here. If can learn the skill and cook at home but no it won't mean you will open tze char stall because that's a lot of hard work.

 

Teochew style, HK style, ginger, garlic, Shanghai style sugar-vinegar, hunan style chili .. Many pattern can try but pomfret only teochew is nice. Kim bak lor very common and very cheap can try different pattern.

 

yes, indeed it's very ex to eat steam fish outside, but sometimes it's the crave and inevitable to order one when you see a nice fresh fish hanging at the stall freezer or the glittering fish eye starring at your from the plate (presentation really plays a part)....

 

Usually wedding dinner serves pomfret in HK style with is quite very nice with lots of parsley

I think the secret is must add the important ingredients.

 

Fatty pork strips, sour plum, sliced ginger, tomato and

 

chinese parsley.

 

For me especially the sour plum and fatty pork is important.
