I’ve always been a big fan of old style charcoal steamboat dining, and Tian Wai Tian is a legendary Singapore restaurant that serves fish head steamboat. Read more here: http://migrationology.com/2016/01/singapore-food/
For this video I was hanging out in Singapore with Daniel, and he wanted to bring me to his favorite restaurant for fish head steamboat. Although it’s called fish head steamboat, it actually includes the entire fish, so it’s not just fish heads, but the entire fish and body. Tian Wai Tian is a pretty awesome restaurant, old style, and famous throughout Singapore. They are quite well known for having a lack of service, or not much service at all, but it still remains packed out every single night because of the delicious food. When you arrive at Tian Wai Tian the first step is to find an open table and then you sit down – but instead of a waiter coming to take your order, you have to go up to the front of the restaurant, stand in line, order and pay.
Once the food is ready, it’s then delivered, or kind of just dropped off at you table. One of the great things about the restaurant is that it’s very laid back, and you can walk around and kind of do whatever you want to do. If you want to see what’s going on in the back of the kitchen you can. If you want to walk around the outside of the restaurant you can as well. They let me do some filming inside, and it was amazing to see the chefs at work. Two chefs were making all sorts of stir fried and deep fried dishes, while one chef was strictly making the fish head steamboats. For the steamboat, the broth was I believe a combination of chicken feet and fish, and once you ordered the fish of your choice, he’d mix up some broth in a wok with the fish, dump it all into a steamboat filled with hot charcoal, and then add in some extra soup and ingredients and lots of vegetables and it would be delivered.
The fish head steamboat was incredibly delicious, both my wife and I loved it. The soup was salty and flavorful, a combination of the fish with chicken feet stock, and also what I really liked was the addition of taro in the soup as well. Additionally there were quite a few vegetables like Chinese cabbage and water morning glory.
There are also a number of other Chinese deep fried and stir fried dishes you can order when you eat at Tian Wai Tian, and we had a couple of dishes including some fried Teochew style chicken wings, and a sambal squid.

And you ruin it his eyes are red and he looks high
THIS ALLL LOOKS REALLY GOOD😊
Mark the food sometimes it looks great. But, most places are totally unsanitary. Aren't you afraid you will get sick sometimes.
When mark u said.. Bhajiya… Wow.. Respect for you.. Love from India
I don't like seaweed & taru in steamboat
Yea yea. We all know everything he eats is amazing and delicious and made by a skilled master. Yada yada
very delicious dishes good video😋👍💯💖😍
Luv chicken wings
I saw coffee spare ribs in the menu and would have order that for one of its side dishes. Don't see any fish head in the steamboat unless its broth already pre-made from it. Cuttlefish is similar to Squids. Since he is used to calling it Squids, not custom to used the term Cuttlefish.
fish Soup very delicious👍
Should have ordered the chilli tofu prawn
Fish head. Chicken feet.
Uhhh not tryna be funny at ALL! But i could hardly understand Daniel the first few sentences.or is it just meee???
I am too OCD to be a chef in a kitchen like this one. Too much food wasted everywhere.

Daniel u are a nice n cool guy 👍
" So Hi now we are having our first fish head steamboat restaurant. You can call this a cookhouse or eatery, but the dish that is unique to here is the pomfret fish head steamboat, and is located at Opal Crescent. This particular shop name is Tian Wai Tian Fish Head Steamboat."
Are they even clean the wok afterwards?🧐
The nostril puffing. Ugh.
I loved the way you said BHAJIIYAAA XD
I want that Steam Boat Pot. There so Cool. 👍
Wow where this place man can s
im am hungry..when i saw comedic skinny guys face…i lost my appetite…go away! oh..so daniel is his name….buset!
AB normal face…hahaha
Chicken feet and fish heads???? Here in America, we call that garbage…
Good call from Daniel again !
One of the best fish head steamboat place in SG. Go around 5pm and the wait is probably do-able. Any later, you are having your dinner at 8pm. Queue and make your order right inside the kitchen . Order the fried prawn(hae Chor), fried chicken and the fish steamboat and you are set.
Teochew food is so underrated.
Love soup!
never seen a person eat a wing like Mark does.
why do you always lean to the right after you eat LOL singaporean food is the best!!!
Ewww the chicken feet had nails on still😣😖😖
Are you kidding me, either the owner of the restaurant is so arrogant that he don't care about good customer service or just do not have any business sense. Most people in the US would avoid places like that no matter how good their food is. There's always another food joint with same type of good food and better service.
ricky the dragon steamboat haha
Love to watching you ,
