This is the longest time waited ever revisited this place in the evening for Cantonese Style Steamed Fish Head. I was torn between two stalls as in the row where Cheng Ji stall is there is another competitor stall selling the steamed fish. At a glance on the area, most of them were supporters of Cheng Ji as the plate colors were majority pink and that gave us some deciding factor. Nonetheless, if we were to check online about the media rating, Cheng Ji is not on the favourable list.

With many competitors around, steamed Song Fish here is rather competitive. The thickened sauce over the fish was both savoury and sweet with fermented soy sauce. The meat texture of Song Fish was naturally soft with a springy bite. At the same time, taste of Song Fish was clearly earthy and meat was bland. With the fragrant pork lard, spring onions and the savoury sauce coupled with the freshness of the fish, that makes the dish a perfect one.

The Egg Oyster Omelete was fluffy with tasty chilli. Although it's one of their few recommended dishes on the limited menu, I do not prefer the taste as it was bland and quite starchy for me.

Looking at the Steamed Fish Head Sauce, it's worth the money paid but if you are someone who do not enjoy lots of fish bones, Song Fish Fish Head will be the last of your choice for their bones are aplenty.
