Soon Heng Restaurant

Our dept has been going to this place for lunch a couple of years and I even brought my mum here once but I never knew the name of the restaurant until I made an effort to look out for it today. This place is rather popular I must say - while we were eating, a chartered bus dropped off about 20 Japanese folks at the restaurant. There is the the air-conditioned area and the al fresco dining area if one wishes to take a puff or bake in the sun.

Having the curry fish head is a must if you go to this place apparently. However, my taste-buds have been corrupted with the curry fish head that I absolutely love at JB and the curry fish head here pales in comparison. However, the stall specialises in more than just that and one has a wide range of freshly-cooked food items to choose from (see the pic below). The Slog Reviews: 7.5/10 all in all except for the prawns which I would give a 5/10 for being mushy and not too fresh tasting. If I had to recommend any dish, it would be the wildly popular ikam bilis (fried fish and nuts) which one can order to take away (SGD 5 per pack) as a snack. The cost of the dishes below (it was half a fish-head only) and a plate of curry liver (which hadnt come at the time of the pic) as well as 8 glasses of lime juice and 7 plates of rice was about SGD 16 per person (almost SGD 100 for 6 of us). I think that's really quite expensive honestly and would only visit this restaurant if the dept goes.
