Steam Sia (Closed)

They have since shifted from their little india location to the St James area, nested within St James Wine Bar & Bistro. It may be a little confusing for diners now as no signage can be seen. The place was pretty empty when we reached at 815pm. The place is a little dark as its more pub style inside but there were large screen tv screening soccer. There is live band on certain days apparently. The usual nostalgic decorations of antique items are still around. On top of that, there seems to be a

For full review, please visit http://foodesteem.blogspot.com/2013/03/steam-sia.htmlSteam Sia is a place where children born in the late 19's still can have remembrance of their childhood. As part of their decor, they have old nokia phones, which are known to be as durable as hammer, snakes n ladder board games, old ceramic bowls and plates, rotary phone, and also a hopscotch drawn, etc! Seems very Singapore style cafe, but they do serve western food too.Ordered raisin float for only $5.90, which

I really wonder why did they had this funny restaurant name" Steam Sia "Entered the restaurant and I was welcomed by some many vintage old school stuffsFood and drinks time !Mine:I had this Vanilla Peach Tea $5.90When they served me this cup, I was thinking was that just plain water? or the Vanilla too transparent see ;/So I was told to open this unique tea bag This unique teabag is just so cool. With lots of holes on itAll i need to do, just place it in and stir Slowly I saw my water changed co

Steam Sia has this very Old School feeling with the interior and decor. They have displays like the Kacang Puteh stall, Lomo cameras, old typewriters and even some old Nokia phones. I can relate to it as I was born in the 80s. So far, this is still my first time attending a theme restaurant. The restaurant actually serves fusion food from local to western dishes so you will be spolit for choice. Pricing wise is also reasonable as most dishes are less than 10 bucks. I particularly like the salmon

I was recommended by a friend to check out the food at Steam Sia and I gotta say it's a worthwhile visit. Firstly, you gotta love the retro 80's feel of the decoration. Makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The place is a little small but that adds to the "kampong" cozy feel of it. I tried a couple of dishes that night. Firstly was their signature Nonya Curry Chicken dish. The curry was thick and savory. It had a lovely bite of heat balanced with sweetness and was absolutely sumptuous

1st impression of the place is its very well decorated, with a retro old school nostalgic theme to it. Round marble table, vintage wall signage, antique phones and tv are just a few to name. There is also a mini game stall with a fat chef statue on it. You get to see the very very games like "go li" or marbles, color sticks, penguin climbing game, aeroplane chess etc, bringing back lots of old memories of kampung days. A nice surprize was that the mini game stalls also serves some tidbits which

Happened to be around little India doing some shopping but was not really craving for any Prata or Naan. Did a search on OpenRice website and managed to find this restaurant. Decided to give it a try.I was quite impressed by the interior of the restaurant which gave the feel of an old school kopitiam of the 70's . And there are some games object that really reminded me of my childhood days.Ordered their Nasi Goreng and Nonya Curry Chicken. The Nasi goreng was quite nice and was served with a ch

What really caught our attention was the ambiance and decorations of the place which reminded us of our childhood and primary days. From their antique displays like old gadgets, toys, chalkboard, crackers and marbles to classic ornaments like wooden chairs and tables it felt like we were a kid all over again. We really loved the whole look and feel of the place!As for the food, we get to try the Tom Yum Spaghetti with Seafood and Nonya Chicken Curry. Being a fan for Thai food ourselves, these tw

At steam sia, You can re-live your childhood memories for me, it was probably the end of an era to the new technology age. Steam Sia is a very cosy joint around 15 to 20 mins from my place. I like the ol scholl stuff and thats one of the reasons i went back to that place. I kept looking at the country erasers as it was an ol school game for me when i was in primary school!Anyway i had the chicken curry shared with my friend and we each had a plate of the tom yum spaghetti. As usual, it didnt dis

Steam Sia allows patrons to relive Singapore’s olden days, from the era before the 90s. Without stepping into the eatery, you’d immediately notice the iconic kacang puteh stall right at the entrance, adorned with vintage items from tidbits to cookware. And it doesn’t stop there, it’s nostalgia in the form of the furniture, right down to the plates; Steam Sia’s one unique dining spot indeed!Steam Sia's menu consists of a fusion of local favourites and modern European cuisine, such as Nonya Chicke

Thanks to Openrice, I get the chance to attend the food tasting session at Steam Sia. Located in one of the shophouses in Little India, this restaurant seems kinda outstanding in the midst of all the Indian stores. Personally, I like the deco of the place which is kinda retro style. However, I am quite disappointed with the service. Perhaps due to the fact it is also the grand opening, the service staff do not have much time to attend to us. Nevertheless, I will recommend one to visit this resta

I was around the vicinity with my friend when we happened to walk past Steam Sia restaurant and stopped for awhile to take a look. The first thing that caught our attention was the old and antique display items found at the front of the restaurant. What intrigued us further was when we entered to take a peek, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant was nicely decorated with various antique items that certainly belonged to our parents era. Here's a photo of some of the antique de

I walked into Steam Sia knowing very little to expect as it is a new place. To my amazement, it reminded me of my primary school days and even earlier. There were yaohan vouchers, country erasers where we could battle it out with our erasers etc. The seats were really nicely done up along with the tables which reminded me of some coffee shops when i was really young. Wooden chairs and marble top tables i think.As for the food, i had a taste of the Nonya Chicken Curry. I mean c'mon, i don't real

This restaurant had a rather interesting concept compared to many other bar/restaurants. It had a miniature bar to cater to those who prefer a good pint of beer after a hearty meal. Which was exactly what I had. The portions were big! This is quite rare nowadays. The collection of 1960s and 1970s memorabilia provided a nostalgic look into our past (with which i could still relate). The place definitely draws you for a second visit. Chocolate FondantThis is the desert that i had tried. Warm, ric
