Sik Wai Sin Eating House is a restaurant with an attitude. With a no reservations no menu policy, be sure to come early to book a seat as the restaurant tends to get really crowded during lunch time and on weekends.
Situated along Geylang road, Sik Wai Sin had been around for more than 60 years. Now passed on to the second generations, Sik Wai Sin continues to serve delicious home-cook styled Cantonese dishes that many old timers continues to come back for. Serving only a total of about 8 different dishes a day, the restaurant doesnt provide any physical menu and you'll have to check with the staffs what are available on that day. Ingredients are also limited thus once the ingredients are out for the day, they would stop serving the dish. This is probably one of the reason why the restaurant is more crowded during lunch time - when most of the dishes are still available.
Cantonese are really well-known for their soups, so soup we must have! Though clear, their Watercress Pork Ribs Soup is packed with flavour and plenty of ingredients. In fact, there are so much pork ribs and watercress that there's not much space for the soup.. which is a pity as the soup is really nice!
This is probably my favourite dish that I had tried that day! With thick & flavourful gravy that goes really well with rice, and tofu that is oh so soft & yummy~ Definite must have! Highly recommended.
This is smaller portion of half Song Fish head, another signature dish of Sik Wai Sin and a really popular dish among fish lovers. I believe they also serve the whole fish head for bigger crowds or you can order that if you really love fish. The Song fish head is steamed with generous amount of pork lard and bean paste that completely covers the fishy taste and brings out the freshness. Another highly recommended dish!
After visiting this place, I can really see how this place manages to survive & operate for so many years when it seems that their only form of promotion is via word of mouth. Even though their food seems more homely than lavish, this is a place that you will never forget once you have tried it!
