Geylang Food Find

Parting is such sweet sorrow, but pa-ting is such a succulent fish, you'll want to order all three variations.

Pa-ting is a fatty fish bred only in the owner's farm, the fresh water fish is also rich in omega fats which is good for you, and if you are eating alone or there are just the two of you you can order half a fish.

Most full tables order a half pa-ting (perhaps that's why it's called pa-ting) steamed, and the other half tom-yammed.

There is a third way they cook it but I forget (omega fats are not memory boosters) - I was so consumed by its delicious full and smooth taste.

"They" are the Village Wok restaurants, number 10 Lorong 3 in Geylang, not your Nobu-type district but such great eating.

It is a spare, bright, clean air con coffee shop style restaurant, with a history (story's on the menu) and there are six signature dishes, the house specials, every one good.
