Sik Wai Sin Eating House

Located along the stretch of old shophouses in Geylang is where you will find this Cantonese restaurant called Sik Wai Sin Eating House. If you observe closely enough on its glass front, this coffeeshop has actually been found and already listed in the “Makan Sutra” by foodies already!! So we are not the only ones who discover this place!! Good and delicious food really travels afar! Sik Wai Sin, this place where the most simple yet delicious family style Cantonese cuisines are served.


This is not our first visit here. Previously they do not used to have a menu but during our visit over the weekends, we found that they now have a simple one. Because of its location and crowd, this place may not be where most people will like to visit. Also parking is difficult to find and there is not a MRT station nearby. One will either have to travel by bus or take to the nearest Aljunied MRT station and then walk. Tedious. But somehow the warm, delicious and prize deserving Cantonese cuisine served here tend to lure you back to the place again and again…

The staff there speaks Cantonese and the dishes they serve are simple finds. Their menu can be quite limited but one never complains because of its quality, generous serving and good taste. The typical cuisines offered are the steam fish-head (costs about S$18), fried egg toufu with prawns (S$18), bittergourd cooked with pork ribs or the soup delicacies. As there are only two of us, Ted and me decided to order the stir-fry kalian with prawns (S$18) and the steam pork with salted fish (S$10). The serving was real generous and the meal was simply delicious, delicious, delicious! Such fresh ingredients and generous serving ! It was so good that we even had to order so many extra bowls of white rice as the dishes were simply so wonderfully cooked ! (Do note though that the white rice costs S$0.50 for quite a small bowl)


See our sumptuous meal above. Real Cantonese delicacies. Offered in the most unusual place but yet not loosing its appeal and good taste. Please go and try it yourself if you are one who is looking for those simple Cantonese finds.
