Singapore｜De Tian Coffee House

Very crowded eatery especially during lunch time. While the place is big, it’s kind of hard to get seats during lunch hours. Food choices are a plenty from Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean. There is a current promo from the Sze char store. Nonya fish tail for $10++ and Steamed fish head with black bean sauces at $10++. Has the Nonya fish tail and it’s awesome! Just the right sourness and spiciness. Goes well with rice. Dim sum is a hit here with most items selling out fast. The custard salted egg yolk bun is very nice. All dim sum are steamed after ordering so that they are served hot. The nasi bryani is also good. Rice is traditional basmati rice. Fluffy and flavourful. Mutton is fall of the bone tender. Spoilt for choice and definitely will be back for more.

I love to visit this coffee shop with my family as it offers many varieties of good food. This MEGA coffeehouse located along Woodland Close, is highly recommended by my family relatives and some taxi drivers for the curry fish head deal. So, I decided to give it a try. Highly recommended 3 stalls that i have tried, the zi char stall namely the cooked food stall that offers reasonably price and tasty fish head curry at $22, Thai style Assam curry fish head and steam fish head at promotional price of $12/$10. You can see their banners on this promotions when you drive along Woodland close or Woodlands Ave 12 towards or from Gambas. Other food like prawn paste chicken, Thai style pork chop, stir fried sambar kang Kong, fried rice, hot plate tofu are all very nice. Only setback about this stall is they are super crowded during dinner time especially weekends and you need to queue to order and finding a table can be challenging during these time. There are limited parking space but you can park behind the industrial building as the do have a few other parking spots further down the coffeehouse. Tips to avoid the crowd is to go before 6pm. You can use PayNow to pay for your food if you forgot to withdraw cash. The other stall will be the seafood BBQ stall that offers barbecue stingrays, sambal squids, clams, crayfish, prawn, etc. The price is slightly on the higher side but the taste is quite worth it. The BBQ sting ray costs $8/$10. The last stall that I highly recommend is the seafood soup stall ran by two young guys. I always have very high standard on seafood or fish slice soup as I can eat from the same stall nearly everyday for 2 weeks or more if the quality of fish or seafood n soup are good. I must say I'm pretty impressed by this stall. I have cleared my bowl of soup as it was made of rich fish and seafood broth, I have order red snapper instead of dory or batang fish for my seafood soup, cost ard $10/$12 and add $0.50 for rice. The soup has minced pork meat with salted fish, slice red snapper and fresh prawns, soup is not too salty, quite refreshing and stall owner gave me a decent amount of soup when I ask for "more soup please" unlike some famous seafood stall in woodlands area that only gave a little soup (their soup is too salty to my liking) and cost much more expensive for the red snapper fish. If you like seafood or fish slice soup, do give them a try as I have been having a hard time looking for good quality ones. This stall offers a variety of seafood combinations like crayfish instead of prawns and different types of fish slices, but they do not have fried fish head soup which is a pity for me. I will definitely visit them again, even to pack back for lunch or dinner.

The most prominent food feature in Singapore is that food courts/coffee shops are spread all over the island. This Detian is located next to the highway, and the parking is very convenient. There are many stalls and a variety of dishes to attract diners with different tastes, and I just need to concentrate on choosing what I want to eat!
