San Shu Gong Private Dining (三叔公私房菜)

Unique Cantonese & Hokkien-influenced dishes. The chaipo kuayteow is a must have. Fried sea cucumber has a lovely texture. Plum-soaked tomatoes ????! Note that some dishes have to be ordered in advance!

Opened in Jan 2021, this discreet-looking restaurant is getting attention from foodies for their fresh & interesting Chinese seafood offerings

Spanish Carabinero prawn , served with mi sua in seafood broth. Broth was the highlight with strong lingering prawn flavours. Bright red Mediterranean prawns were served sashimi-style, lots of bite

Teochew cold yellow roe crab marinated w Shaoxing wine . $13 per 100g. Dish is served raw after being marinated in Chinese yellow wine for 2 days. Refreshing & unique as an appetiser . Call to reserve

Baby threadfin (“ngor her” in Hokkien) steamed. Only the freshest can be served this way. Sweet taste . For flavour, just a light dip into “tau cheo” (fermented bean paste sauce)

Deep fried whiting (silver sillago) fish . Seasonal savoury snack , with layers of aroma from the fried garlic toppings ????????

Deep-fried sea cucumber with abalone sauce. Superior idea. Fried layer contrasts & gave each bite a pleasant aroma. $26. Would order again!

Vehicular parking . Unlikely kerbside spots in front of restaurant . U save time by turning into Lorong 3 Geylang (fr Geylang Rd & before resto) & finding a lot at the HDB or MSCP along that road

Desserts . Enjoyed mushy/creamy “or nee” (steamed yam paste ), & “tau suan” (mung beans dessert ) with orange zest . $4.50 per person

Seasonal appetisers like these fried prawn balls & pig trotter jelly keep fans coming back for new delights from the kitchen

Pan-fried bee hoon (rice noodles ) with prawns . Enjoyed this simple dry version together with the contrasting soupy ‘mi sua’

Spinach braised with whole garlic , in superior broth was light enough to contrast with rest of yummy dishes

Peeled crabmeat fried rice . Not on the menu yet. $48 for their large size. Wished it could be more flavourful

Pan-fried Teochew kueh with filling of yam & salted egg . Filling tasted subdued against the plain glutinous rice skin

Deep-fried yam cubes coated with fine sugar. One is not enough! ????
