Sik Wai Sin Eating House (Zhe Char)

287 Geylang Road T. 6744 0219

My father insists that this place is much better than Joo Heng Eating House. They serve very similar fare. Sik Wai Sin dishes up a steamed fish head with a bean sauce and steamed mince pork with salted fish – both equally delicious. We also tried the sweet and sour pork (so-so), and the fried chicken (so-so). The other signature dish here is the black chicken soup that was tasty but sold out by 8 that evening.

So which is the better place? They are equally good. When in the mood for soup and crowds (it can get super busy in Geylang) head to Sik Wai Sin, otherwise, for a more calm dinner, stick to Joo Heng.
