Steam Sia @ 5 Hindoo Road

Steam Sia is located at 5 Hindoo Road, about 10 minutes walk from City Square Mall (North East Line- Farrer Park). Tel: 63966585. Operating hours are Mon-Sun 10-1AM daily. The theme of the shop is kind of old school and retro, to reminisce the old good times. The cafe/bar is quite small therefore reservations are highly recommendation to be made. The cafe/bar is a relaxing and comfortable place.

I happened to hear about this cafe/bar from Kaykay's blog and through my poly friend. Therefore, when I saw there was a groupon deal, I immediately bought it! When I stepped into the cafe/bar, I was very fascinated by those vintages shelf and table and chair which are used in the olden days! I tried both their specialties in their cafe: Tom Yam Spaghetti served with mussels, mushroom and prawns, $16.90 & Curry Chicken, Potato and Carrot with Rice, $12.90 (For 1) & $20.90 (For 2) ! Really love how hot, thick and creamy the curry is, a absolute good match with rice! And it was served on a chopping board, how unique it is! Tom Yam Spaghetti is quite spicy for me (I can't really eat spicy) but is really nice and satisfying! Prawns and mussels are both fresh. The drink I ordered is Iced Mocha topped with Mövenpick Swiss Chocolate Ice-cream, $7.90. Oh and we are allowed to play the games and eat the snacks at the front of the shop! E.g of snack Whell-Shaped Snack and E.g. of game is Five Stones.

 I love this place a lot a lot!!! Because it is not very expensive and is value for money $$! Foods available are korean soup, fried foods, cooked food and raw foods i.e. meats (huge chunks of it), bacon, potato, vege etc! And drinks are free-flow. However, this place is always packed and you would have to queue. It could be quite noisy and smokey, but there is indoor and outdoor seating available! Staffs are friendly too and kind enough to come around and ask whether do you need to change your aluminium foil.
