Shi Wei Tian 食唯天 restaurant is a new establishment, officially started operation on the 9 June 2011.There's inside and outside seating!The whole environment is very welcoming, it is nostalgic yet modern and sparkling clean. I like the overall feel, simple yet with some details. We went in about 6pm on a weekday and it was very quiet, a very pleasure dinner we had with all the attention to us.Here they offer Zi Char, ala-cart steamboat and Malaysia style Lok Lok.The staff is very friendly, she re

The whole environment is very welcoming, it is nostalgic yet modern and sparkling clean. I like the overall feel, simple yet with some details. We went in about 6pm on a weekday and it was very quiet, a very pleasure dinner we had with all the attention to us.Here they offer Zi Char, ala-cart steamboat and Malaysia style Lok Lok.
The staff is very friendly, she recommended us the Drunken Prawn. Initially we wanted to have steamboat but because it was just the 2 of us and the pricing is base on ala-cart we give it a miss. Instead we tried their Lok Lok.
Honey Aloe Vera $2.80A must have, the drink is very unique – the taste of the honey is very rich. You probably can’t taste it else where.
Starter $1
Golden Pumpkin $10Instead of ordering Kang Kong which most of us will order opt for pumpkin! Pumpkin is not so bad tasting at all, in fact it is sweet by nature. This Golden Pumpkin is very nice, the outer layer taste like salted prawn and it is very crispy.
Drunken Prawns $15For a price of $15 it is quite reasonable for this dish! The soup is marvelous, we nearly finish the whole pot! It does not carry a strong herbal favours to it, it is sweet and very refreshing. For $15 you get 6 tiger prawns in it, not bad an offer right?
The price for the drunken prawn is reasonable BUT the price for the Lok Lok prawn on the other hand is not at all reasonable. It cost $7 for a piece of prawn with little meat.The rest of the Lok Lok is price at $1.80 and $1.20 per stick which is okay.
One of the Lok Lok I will recommend is the Cauliflower stick!
Overall, the Lok Lok if you are to compare to the Johor version of course the Johor version is the clear victory but having try the satay Lok Lok at Malacca Celup the Lok Lok at Shi Wei Tian 食唯天 is consider above average. Well, best to have the Lok Lok at Johor as Singapore Lok Lok is quite expensive.
The total bill amount to $55.85, the Lok Lok cost us $19 (without GST).
My verdict:
Best to stick with their Zi Char menu as it is more value for money and they seems to be more specialize in this aspect. If you are coming in group, then try their steamboat which is more worth while. Personally, I will still come back for their Zi Char as they have a lot of choices and every dish on their menu sound very appetizing. And and and you don’t have to sweat at Shi Wei Tian 食唯天 as their inside seating is air-conditional and with the ceiling fans it is very cooling. An idea place to have steamboat isn't it?
You can even Whats App them at 9837 2229 for reservations - a value added service!
