廣東炖汤•蒸鱼 Canton Delicacies – Ex-Marriott Chef Sells $3.30 Salted Egg Pork Rice & More in Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre
January 26, 2022
I have fond memories of Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre, especially since it’s where my friends and I would head to after school to have a feast together. Recently, I chanced upon a stall that serves a wide selection of dishes at affordable price points!
廣東 炖汤•蒸鱼 Canton Delicacies, which is started by Chef Ericson Ng, a former chef at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, serves Cantonese-style steamed dishes, soups and curry fish head.
Hailing from Malaysia, Chef Ericson started working in restaurants in Ipoh when he was just 13. He relocated to Singapore after securing a job at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant. There, he gained 11 years of experience and climbed the ranks to become a junior sous chef. After a meeting with a Hong Kong-born hawker, whom Chef Ericson dubs as his ‘shifu’, Chef Ericson decided to learn under him for three years and eventually set out to run his own hawker stall in 2020.
If you’re a first time customer like me, the vast menu options might be a little daunting, but it can be simply split into several categories of items – steamed dishes, double-boiled soups, and fish head dishes.
I tried one of the stall’s cheapest and most popular dishes: Salted Egg Pork Patties Steamed Rice ($3.30), which comes with a thick minced pork patty comprising an 80 to 20 meat-to-fat ratio, salted egg, and a bed of fluffy rice. The patty was then drizzled with dark soya sauce. The patty was juicy and tender, and the sauce delivered sweetness and savouriness.
Next, I had the Steamed Garlic Prawn with Vermicelli ($8). As I bit into the prawn, the freshness and slight sweetness of the meat was evident. I only wished that the garlic sauce that was heavily drizzled over the prawns was less salty.
Chef Ericson recommended that I try his latest creation, the Steamed Garlic Lala ($8). Each lala was plump, well-seasoned with chilli and garlic, and carried the perfect amount of umami.
So, if you’re looking for a wallet-friendly joint to enjoy fresh and tasty Cantonese delights, head down to 廣東炖汤•蒸鱼 Canton Delicacies!
